Question for people who dig religion?Why isn`t your Gods` love unconditional?

Question

why is it neccessary to believe in him to get to heaven instead of hell.Seems a little bit unfair or perhaps egotistical?

Answer 1

The Bible teaches that God's love is unconditional.

Ephesians 1:4-5, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will."

Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the GIFT OF GOD. Not of Works lest any man should boast."

I could cite many more biblical passages to demonstrate the the love of God is unconditional. This doctrine is sometimes called unconditional election.

All men being totally depraved are worthy of death and, in order for God's justice to be displayed, must enter hell.

However, purely out of God's mercy and not out of any merit on the part of the sinner, God loves some and unconditional saves them through the blood of Christ. Whatever one claims of the God of the Bible, his love most certainly is unconditional.

Answer 2

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. Clearly, He states He is the only way to heaven. This isn't about egoism. According to the Bible, Allah, Buddha, etc. do not have the power to save. You can complain all you like that the gumball machine won't accept your nickel, but it won't give you your gumball. Mind you, five other gods can't equal God.

Answer 3

God has never said people have to believe in him in order to get to heaven.

In the bible, in fact, Jesus states that sinners and prostitutes would get to heaven sooner than the religious leaders of his day.
