Well, he does save everyone regarless of thier religion.......as long as that religion is Christianity.
So Jesus only loves Christians I take it?
If Jesus truly loves everyone, why doesn't he save everyone regardless of thier religion?

If someone was in a car accident, and they were unconcious in the wreakage, Wouldn't you save them without asking for their permission? IF YOU LOVED THEM, wouldn't you save them even if they said 'no'?

This is a great question, I am guessing you will be bombarded with the 'free will' answer.
Which basically states that God will never force paradise on you, in fact you must blindly believe in him despite a lack of evidence for his existence, and then follow his will for your life, despite the fact that no human can agree on what that is.
He will force eternal torture on you in the name of free will though.

He loves everyone, but not their sin. It's like if you love someone, a family member or friend, who might be doing something you know isn't good for them. If you were the boss of something like a company, would you want employees who didn't give an inch about you and didn't do anything or supported another company? Or if you married someone who didn't care about you and bad-mouthed you or had an affair? It's kind of similar.

ALL who realize their need and accept the atonement are by faith saved and made new. Its not exclusive but not all want or believe they need Christ does not mean they are not loved but it's sort of a two way street he doesn't force salvation on anyone. It is not being a Christian that saves you but being saved makes you a follower of Christ.

Do they deserve it? What if they do not want to live under God's Kingdom? That is what it means. Most of humanity, for many different reasons, do not want to live under God's rule. Selfish position and power in this old world influences them mostly. Refusal to learn is another. You can't stuff knowledge down the throat of someone who wants to remain ignorant, no matter how you feel about it.

You bring up a very good point, I have often wondered that myself. I really don't know, I'm a pagan, and it seems silly that just because of my beliefs I have people who try to 'save me' because I'll burn in "Hell" for all eternity. I'm not worried about where I go after I die, why should other people?!

He dosen't love everybody and gave us ample time to leave our false religions to come to Him before His return to Earth to start to once again kill those that are against Him.

You know, He askes very flamin little of us, if you decide to reject Him, why in the world would He want you in heaven? Personally, if someone rejects me, I'm not gonna be inviting them to my house.

everyone is given the choice to be saved.
don't blame God or Jesus when you choose not to accept their gift.

God is a self-centered egotist.
He wants everybody to worship him.
