Jesus sacrificed his life for us. So are those who reject him ungrateful

Well, when Jesus Christ comes back to rid this world of all wickedness, it also says that all the unbelievers are going to perish as well. Thumbing down what the Bible says won't change the outcome, only a change of heart can.

All people are basically bad, although some are better at covering it up than others. Romans 3:10 and 3:23. All believers are people who were once lost. People are self-centered and ungrateful by nature. That's why they need a savior who can take their sins away. As you probably know, Christians do a lot of bad things too. What you may not realize is that before they were Christians they were doing a whole lot more bad things. I have met a lot of non-Christians who are much "nicer" than believers. But being a nice
person doesn't get someone into heaven. Faith is needed. Please read Romans 5:8, Romans 10:13, Romans 5:12 and Romans 10:9-11.

No, not everyone believes in Jesus and that doesn't make them a bad person, some people that believe in Jesus are bad people. There isn't anything that says which way is right that is why there are so many religions, because people believe different things and not all people believe Jesus was gods son after all he did say "we are all gods children" and that was long ago people interpret things differently maybe he didn't mean HE was gods son, besides the bible was written by Jesus' descendants and his disciples and there is no proof Jesus didn't have children (because the bible skips much of his life when he was believed to be in India.) Just like there is no proof Jesus was real, you just have to believe what makes you a better person and what you think is right, trust me you will be much happier than just following a religion or what others believe, be an individual and think for yourself. Nothing is certain believe in what you feel is best and what makes YOU happy, regardless what others think.

There are some Christians that believe Jesus never existed or find the existence of Jesus to be trivial. These people believe that the story of Jesus is a mystical metaphor showing us how we can "attain" some mystical experience. There are also those who disbelieve Jesus ever existed and reject Christianity as a whole. I say to each his own, for it is not my place to judge them. As long as they do not get hung up on such ideas so that they feel they have to kill to get the point across. Live and let live.

I think it depends on who your asking. Everyone has different beliefs and some people will tell you you need Jesus in your life etc.
In my opinion, as long as you are a good person, Jesus loves you. I don't think you have to believe in order to go to heaven. I just think you have to live your live the best that you can. Of course believing in the lord and accepting him into your life is something everyone should do in my opinion but some people were not brought up that way etc. I don't think it makes you a bad person and Jesus loves everyone.

Someone that doesnt believe in Jesus is not necessarily a bad person, just doesnt KNOW yet. BUt, God doesnt give up on ppl easily. Yes, I agree, Jesus sacrificed His life for us, and we should be willing to sacrifice for Him, and not only love Him, but obey HIm and want to be like Him.
We must pray that all those that dont yet know Him will know HIm before its too late. Its not about being a mean , bad person. None of us are good compared to God, no not one. We all fall short of the glory of God. But, lets lift each other up and lead everyone we can to Jesus before its too late.
Believing in Jesus is the most intelligent thing one can ever do Pray it for the world. Cuz SOon Jesus is coming again....

Let put it this way.....
I like the guy, he did screwed up as well, but I don't believe what he said. because there is NO PROOF.
But don't worship him, because you are in contradiction of the second commandment
And Jesus being Jewish and a Rabbi would not have allowed it.
Don't forget, he was never against his own people, but against the Romains.
So, Jesus has NOTHING to do for a person being good or bad.

Ungrateful, no. Unwilling to believe, yes. I really dont suspect that someone who believes that Jesus actually died to save mankind from the entire damnation of hell would say, "Thanks, but no thanks." But usually what it is is the fact that these people dont believe in Jesus and refuse to accept the fact that anyone would do that for them, and no this doesnt make them a bad person. If anything it means that they need prayer and for christians to come around them and lovingly teach.

Well if they were (as COUGAR SUGGESTS) then FOUR billion people in the world are BAD people since they probably have never even heard of JESUS.
Only 20 % of the people in the world are CHRISTIANS, the other four billion are either Hindu, Moslem, Buddhists or any one of the 300 religions that exist on our planet
The most interesting fact is that nearly EVERY religion believes in the one RULE : Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

No because there is a difference between Good and Righteous. A good man takes care of his family and helps out the elderly neighbour. The righteous man follows in the tracks of Jesus.

I don't think it makes them a bad person at all.
At the same time, however, I think it is really rude when an atheist tries to tell a Christian Jesus and God don't exist.
