Please bear in mind that I have not told anyone that they are going to hell.
The question was whether Jesus is the only way into Heaven.
According to the Bible, which Rekna says is not reliable amd shouldn't be trusted, the answer is Yes.
But further caveats I have heard in this thread are that God can always change His mind, and so, Jesus, having gone through that whole terrible scouring, beating and crucifixion and having bothered to resurrect Himself, did this conceivably for nothing, since:
A. There are other ways into Heaven
B. There are other ways into Heaven
C. There are other ways into Heaven
We could find the real reason accept the Bible may have either been changed or can't be believed, or people who quote it are harsh and rigid and unloving and not tolerant. But who knows. We could just ask God, but He is also capable of capriciously changing His mind, too.
Not a whole lot of hope, there.
And then there's that paul and the women thing.
That's enough to piss any feminist off for sure and cast doubt on the whole Bible!
I'll tell you Rekna, whatever you do, don't read Peter! Or Ephesians! or Corinthians!
And good luck to any of you who want to be called Christians but deny waht Jesus actually taught. Because as uncomforatble, or as politically incorrect as it may be, all of christianity comes from that book you guys seem to mistrust so much that a whole bunch of people have been trying for two thousand years to discredit and have yet to do.
If you want to learn more about it, but I doubt you do- you seem to comfortable in your disenfranchisement- read "Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh MacDowell". But be careful- it may change your worldview!
