Sorry, this was just shallow and did not give attention to the actual question. I find this one of the most important questions that can be asked, and nobody cares to answer it. Jesus loved "non-Christians" so much He wanted their needs tended. He wanted them loved. Yet He refers to them burning in hell and mentions it more than anyone. I find no one who will address these issues because hey, the whole world is Western Christian and everyone in the world has had a fair chance of hearing a faithful presentation of salvation. Like the Holy Spirit has prompted everybody to take a stance on accepting or rejecting the Gospel message, heard or not. There are those who never heard. Those who hold a prejudice against Christianity - boy raped by a priest or pastor, Indians beaten by nuns, or hear of a God who sadistically decides to eternally burn flesh because someone did not understand. Denominations cannot even agree on how someone is "saved." Sinner's prayer? Has to be baptized? Not committed a mortal sin or committed suicide? Republican? Shows life of faithful works following Jesus commandments? Or God predestines who is in and the rest are justly burned and tortured for eternity. Most Christians seem to not give this much thought as expressed by Skye which means they really do not care. I believe a fair God does give a fair opportunity after death to truly understand what Jesus did for them with the chance to accept or reject. But David Branson and I seem to be the only ones who care. As Phil recently said do we read the Bible based on our denominations tradition and the Bible says it, I believe it thing without asking does this in any way shape or form make a lick of sense? Apparently, we do not.

What if people are rejecting a mistaken perception of God? I find the idea that people that will "go to hell" are those who do not want to be with God is mistaken. If people truly understood the God they were rejecting, the God is the perfection of the good, the beautiful and the true, the God of perfect love and perfect justice, then I doubt the vast majority of humanity would reject that God. Sadly, Christians don't always represent the true God as described above, causing people to reject a false concept of God. For that matter, can any of us know God as God actually is to even know what we are choosing?
