Suppose their were ten 10 balls with 10 different colors you had to chose among. The balls only differed in their color. Only one color (the blue color) is the color that will save you. If you choose the wrong color you go to hell. So people all over the world get to choose one ball each. Some people chose orange and some yellow and etc. Some never got to see the blue ball so they had to chose from what was available. Then after everyone had finished choosing, Jesus came down and said, "All who chose blue go to heaven, the rest go to hell".
1) the 10 balls represent the different religions in the world.
2) the balls differ only in color because all religions are equally true to the believer of that particular religion.
4) A large number of people around the world has never heard of Jesus.
3) According to Christians, if you choose any other religion but Jesus, you will go to hell.
Christians, this is what you believe!

No. God will do the judging, not mankind. God knows who did, and who didn't, have an opportunity to receive Christianity. Just like a child that dies after only being alive for two days. God knows that and will act accordingly. If a given religion believes in the moon as their god, should they go to Heaven? If 10 people (10 balls) ages 6 through 16 are all of differing biliefs of the legal driving age (10 religions) How many of them are right? Only one. The one that has the number 16. It works the same way as you suggest. If people are of differing faiths AND know of Christianity and it's teachings, salvation through Jesus, faith, etc. Such may well suffer damnation. They had the opportunity to accept Christ --Christianity, but of their own accord, rejected it. It's like a person that knows the speed limit but rejects it and drives as fast as they want to , will get a speeding ticket if a cop observes it. They knew the speed limit (religion/Christianity) but rejected it, should they not suffer the consequences? Religion works the same way. A person isn't hell bound because of having never heard of Jesus. A person is hell bound because of sin. If other NON CHRISTIAN religions and/or those that don't accept Christ, the Bible, and Christianity, had their way, there would eventually be no such thing as Christians. Churchs, the Bible, Christians themselves, and Christian ministers would all be gone. If that were to be the case, should God be like "Well, I guess I'll just let everybody into Heaven. Even those that rejected Me and killed Christians can all come to Heaven when they die" . I don't think it should, or will, work that way. Do you?

Nice way to get it across. Kind too. You could have come up with a harsher or uglier portrayal that still rang true.
Right away though you should know the reaction. Xtians will not even see the contradictions.
ex. "now Jesus and christianity is not the same as other religions, and he gives everyone a chance "
This statement is made quite genuinely I'm sure, but to do so they had to erase your pnt 4 from their mind. -4) A large number of people around the world has never heard of Jesus. So it goes.

How incorrect are you able to be? You anticipate that each and everyone ten balls are distinctive as a results of fact human beings say they're. The Bible tells us that each and everyone scripture is from God. The Koran tells us that each and everyone scripture is from God. the generic documentation of the two religions that the generic public of easily everyone belong to let us know all scripture is from God, then, why might you think of there are any distinctive balls? From the place I stand it seems extra like a "coastline ball" to me, with maximum human beings arguing over which colour is terrific, and a few atheists arguing that there's no ball or colour. you will possibly could be blind to not see the ball, and stupid to argue over which colour is terrific. permit God, in spite of be conscious you utilize to describe God, do the judging. you may bypass returned to college and learn something approximately metaphors, good judgment and similes.

you asked this before or copied it because I seen it on here, but I'll give it a stab...
one thing all the balls except for color look alike, all balls bounce they all roll they all can be thrown etc...
now Jesus and christianity is not the same as other religions, and he gives everyone a chance bibles says he would that none would perish ...it comes down to this only those that know the difference will be held accountable..

Don't tell me what I believe. Your analogy is wrong. Different religions are not like different colored balls. You just see them that way because they all seem alike to you.
I do not believe people who have never heard of Jesus go to hell for that reason. Neither do I believe there is an eternal hell.
Jesus died on the cross to reconcile all the world back to God His father. That is why He is the only way to Heaven. People who have different religions, but believe in their hearts in the one true God are just as saved as anyone else. There are, of course, false gods and some of them even call themselves Jesus. But He warned us about that. God knows who knows Him in their heart where it matters regardless of what religion they claim. A persons wisdom is vindicated by their deeds. In the end we are judged by our deeds, not by the color of ball we chose.

You are incorrect in your "knowledge" of what Christians believe. The Bible clearly states that those who have heard the word of God (or as you like to say, "seen the blue ball") and yet still don't accept it, will not be saved and spend eternity in Heaven. Do a little more research for your next insult, k?

I disagree.
Your example is too structured...it makes too much sense.
Christian Mythos isn't like that at all. It makes no sense whatsoever. Even those who adhere to it can't agree upon it, sometimes violently so.
To put that in terms of your example, those who'd chosen the blue ball would never agree that it's a blue ball. Sometimes they'd kill each other because they believed it to be aqua blue instead of indigo blue. Royal blue would barely be considered christians at all.
Weird.

Is this a slick way of saying Christians have blue balls?

I don't think they can all have the same shapes. Maybe different unique shapes with different textures...
