IF you believe truly that Jesus Christ is the one true way into heaven because the Bible states that Jesus said " no one gets to heaven except through me"... DO YOU honestly believe that ALL Jews, Muslims, Hindu, etc. are going to hell?
**I can't seem to get a straight answer when I ask this to fundamental, born again, evangelical types... and I want a straight answer, so please indulge me.
Thank you, and I mean no disrespect and am not mocking or laughing at your ideals and beliefs, just curious as to why these sects of Christianity preach such exclusionary ideals..

I would not believe everything you read in books. People are not how they seem to be on the outside. Believe me, I know what the bible says. Sometimes what is says is not always ture.

If they do not believe that Jesus Christ died, was buried and was raised again the third day, according to scripture, then they will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Even those who "claim" to be a "Christian" can be turned away, according to the Bible, Jesus' words. So, to answer your question, yes, I truly believe that if you do not go through Jesus, you will die in your sin and go through eternity in hell. I am not being judgemental, just obeying what the scripture says. Only God knows who is and isn't "true" Christians.

Some people say, that not everyone has had a chance to hear the word of God, in the true Christian sense, so why would a loving Father banish them to hell? If that is true they will be given that opportunity before the end of this life. I find that most other non Christian religions, have changed the bible from the original, to suit themselves. Too many people get caught up in all of the sticky little things of lets say...Jehovah Witness' (my best friend is one) beliefs of no birthday celebrating etc, when what we need to do is worry about the fact that they need to accept Jesus Christ as God. Whenever we tell them that, and just point out 1 scripture in the bible, to show them, they are hearing, and either accepting, or rejecting God. They have heard the word of God. God wants none of us to end up in hell, we are his kids. He doesn't play favorites, but it is up to each one of us as brothers and sisters, to help the members of our worldly family to get back home to our Father eventually.

Born lower back christians are fake ones? What the hell is the version, they both believe a similar element yeah? in truth, couldn't you say the born agains are extra genuine then the christian-from-beginning ones? a minimum of they have made the alternative to change into christian fairly than the others. they have basically been dropped in there and instructed what to imagine. For me although, any christian isn't any good.

"May I also add that in no other religion, or sect, is the claim made that their prophet died and raised from the dead after 3 days."
You may add that, but all it does is display that you are not very well read. There were many such men who were thought to be Sons of God and fit your description perfectly. Look up Apollonious of Tyana, for one.

I believe that if you have heard the gospel message in your lifetime, if you have heard the name Jesus Christ and have chosen to reject Him, then yes, Hell awaits.
If you are asking me to point to a particular group of people or a single person and say "that one is going to Hell" I won't do that, because I do not have the authority to judge another person's heart, only God can do that.
Do also try and remember that Christianity STARTED in the Middle East, so it's not we are "forcing" some new concept on them...

May I also add that in no other religion, or sect, is the claim made that their prophet died and raised from the dead after 3 days. This is very powerful and the cornerstone to our faith.
This alone makes Jesus worthy to be the way, the truth and the light.
Take care

John 14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I believe the Bible and I believe God.

No I dont believe this, like we shouldn't believe anything that doesn't make sense. If it puts restrictions on people without any good reason. Any message that conveys seperatism is questionable? it could have been translated wrong or something. Believing in Jesus's words is what will get through to heaven not by worshipping him. He came to give us the word of GOD and to believe in ONE GOD not to worship him.
