I thought about this a lot last night and something occured to me that I had never though about before.
During mankinds darkest moments we crucified Jesus. Those that crucified him did not believe in him. They did not think that he was thier savor. They didn't even believe he was a prophet. But yet when Jesus was on the cross he prayed for them saying "Forgive them father they know not what they do". Why would Jesus pray for the forgivness of those who do not believe in him if believing in him was the only way to heaven?
We have people here who strongly disbelieved in christ but yet Jesus asked that they be forgiven. Now why would Jesus not ask the same for people who do not believe in him but live a good life?
