R.L. “What about the poor guy that lives in a remote amazon indian tribe- he lives a flawless life and sacrifices for others and in all ways is a very decent human being. Who knows what he worships as a god, but you can bet that he does not know anything about jesus, or the barbaric idea that he had to die for our sins.... He goes to hell according to your religion.â€
Actually, RL, I have brought up that question myself.
I think they are given a chance after they die. Maybe they are treated like children, with a free pass into heaven. I am not God, so I don’t know for sure. I sometimes think that maybe God presents himself to different cultures in different ways, because they can understand him better that way.
You are free not to Choose Jesus are God. That is you choice. You may do it because you don’t believe in him, I can understand that. You may do it because you don’t like his rules- all I got to say about that is that he is the boss. I didn’t always like what my dad told me to do, but I did it anyway because he was my dad.
Anyway, it is a choice. All a Christian can do is tell you about Christ, they can’t force you to accept him. A Christian following Christ’s teachings, should not judge you. If you choose not to, that is you freewill and your choice. Perhaps you are right and I am wrong.
I have made my choice.
