If someone was in a car accident, and they were unconcious in the wreakage, Wouldn't you save them without having to asking for their permission? IF YOU LOVED THEM, wouldn't you save them even if they said 'no'?
If Jesus truely loves everyone, why doesn't he save everyone regardless of their religion?
If he did save everyone, then it shouldn't be possible that I am going to Hell. Once someone has already been saved they can't decide to unsave 'themselves'.

" I think as long as you have accepted him into your life and asked him to forgive you of sins, it doesn't matter what religion you are. "
LMFAO!!! Jesus will save you no matter what religion you are, as long as that religion is christianity.

By your analogy - if someone is in a car wreck and it is in my power to save them then I won't even care who or what they were. They are a person in need. That should be enough, shouldn't it.
It's called UNCONDITIONAL LOVE .

Same old tired questions again and again! You people obviously don't pay any attention to the answers, because you continually ask the same questions over and over.
For the last time: Jesus DID save everyone! Jesus died for EVERYONE ON EARTH! Your analogy is actually not accurate, though. In your scienrio, the person is unconcious, and incapable of rejecting your help. A better analogy would be one in which the person is concious, and holding a gun, and shoots themselves in the head to keep you from saving them - becuse that's exactly what you're doing. You're choosing to DIE, rather than live in heaven forever.
Good luck with that.

Because you need to recognize that the reason they need saving is because they are apart from God, and the standard he holds lays them out everytime they do something, and that a perfect sacrifice is the only thing that does it. The car accident has nothing to do with it. The point is, you need to realize your need for a savior because you can't be good enough on your own. Jesus died for everyone, but you have to accept it.
It's like being offered a gift. If you don't want it, you're allowed to return it. But it's not your's until you accept it.

The bible is the best place to find your answer. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. " Jesus paid the price for all of us. It is by our choice that we accept salvation. Once we accept that Jesus is the son of God and ask for forgiveness of our sins, our salvation can never be lost.
God looks at the heart, not the religion. We are all equal in His eyes. Your question is a very good one, and I'm sure you will get many different answers. This is what I believe. I hope it's helpful to you.

Jesus loves us all.. but the problem is.. did we love Jesus.. before the world began God the Father express His love by giving us the free will.. in which we can choose on all the choice that the world is offering..
and that's the problem, we throw the fault on God or Jesus everytime we are in the difficult situation.. We choose to be in that situation without asking the guidance of the Father of Jesus..
we are all save from the very beginning, but the problem is our attitude that, even if we are saved, we put into our mind that we are unsaved..

He can't- He is unable. You have to make the choice to accept Him in order to be saved. It is like he left a will, everything you would,or will ever need he left you in a will after he died. All you have to do is sign for it, sign the line that says " I X accept this will" if you never do that you cannot receive it. Just because your name is in the will they won't give you what is left for you if you don't sign for it. If you say "I don't want it, I have all I want over here" they will give it to the next in line for the will.
When you don't accept Jesus you automatically are saying yes to the devil and hell, there is no middle ground and if you accept Hell he has no power to save you. He wants to save you badly, but he can't

Parenting is often like what God has to do. You set the rules, give them consequences and then they choose to drink and drive or have sex or go against your rules. The wonderful thing about God is He gives you free will, choice. That is why it happens this way. It is a person's choice, not God's. If He saved everyone, we would just be his puppets and you would have no free will. think of God as your earthly father or mother and think of what parents do. As kids get into the teen age years, they often rebel and go against their parent and often they literally suffer the consequences. Their parents warn them but they have choices to make and consequences to pay. My son gave me a real "run for my money ages 14-17 and they randomly picked him in his graduating senior month to interview for the front page of the paper and I was shocked to death when he said "you kids should listen to your parents, my mom was right and knew what she was talking about and I suffered when I didn't do her rules ". I was a single parent school teacher . parents aren't always right but if they really love you they will try to set the basics and eventually let you fly from the nest and make your own life's choices. It is extremely hard to let your own children fall into their own doo doo but they learn that way, sometimes by losing the earthly life :(

Maybe God will save everyone. Maybe who ever wrote the religious books put things in there to make sure people only believed certain things and not really look for the "truth" because people who are told what to believe are way more easier to control.

Religion doesn`t have anything to do with salvation its faith and believeing in God and Jesus as your Savior.There are lots of folks that don`t even go to church that are very spiritual and believe with all there hearts.

He loves each physique, yet no longer their sin. it is like in case you adore somebody, a relatives member or chum, who could be doing something you comprehend isn't solid for them. in case you have been the boss of something like a company, could you like workers who did no longer provide an inch approximately you and did no longer do something or supported yet another company? Or in case you married somebody who did no longer care approximately you and undesirable-mouthed you or had an affair? it is form of comparable.
