Do they know or have heard of JESUS but still seek outside of that suggestion?
I can't disagree with you as you have quoted verses from bible to answer my questions. Thanks. However, I still have below questions
1. You said none of us will actually seek God. But actually there are many people who don't know Jesus but seek God. For example, India there are many saints who go to Himalayas and spend their whole life there in meditation. There are many people who are true seekers are of God but they didn't know Jesus
2.You saidJesus talks to everyone but onlyHis sheep follows Him.Then why therea re many really don't know who is Jesus
and this is THE VERDICT sir.Some heard and some not. Those who heard will agree with his speeches. They say Jesus is one of many God's. But he is not highest level of God.
There are really many people in India who heard Jesus but they think he is one of many other God's and they consider like any other God
And there are people who heard of Jesus but couldn't accept him due to spiritual influences in their respective religions
And there people who have heard about Jesus but they don't know they completely know Jesus life.
And there are people, who understand him as Satan due to their own religious influences
I don't think there is anybody who didn't hear Jesus name. But hearing is different from understanding. I am talking about understanding
All things, that originate in God can be saved. The devil has no origin in God, so he can not be saved.
The worst of the sinners, a guy named Saul, saw the light and repented for what he'd done and followed Jesus, then taking the name Paul. So yes I imagine he is in heaven. There is an excellent point that the people in Sodom probably would have had a different perspective/actions if it had taken place in the time of Jesus. Probably had something to do with the fact Jesus died to save us.I imagine the Christian persecuting guy named Paul, the worst of sinners, is already in heaven, so saving Sodom should be a piece of cake for Almighty God. In fact God says they would have repented if they had seen Jesus' miracles. Their resurrection will be one they will see, amongst others.
Re your question, one point of living is that killing yourself would be a sin that could get you a seat in the lake of fire. I'd rather avoid that & go straight to heaven.
Do you agree that there is ONE TESTIMONY?Lucifer was created by God, but "became" Satan; The Adversary.
Just because you are a son of God does not prevent you from being cast into hell.
Angels are sons of God.
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 2 Peter 2:4

If Hitler turned from his evil ways and believed Jesus was The Savior of The world, asked for forgiveness (repented) truly sorry for what he had done, and only God knows the heart of man, He would forgive him. I don't know what hitler did as much as you do.That would be the world of believers not everyone in the world.
I just don't think that Hitler will be there.
M-Bob
Scripture please. Thank you.Yes, babies do deserve to go to hell because *everyone* deserves to go to hell.

Agreed.That's between him
And God
Mark these words well.
to all who already believe in some concept of univeralism
yall will embrace interfaith to the full.
so will many others.
the worst most wicked religion ever to be born. and by grace I will die long before I accept
any version of its world peace and unity. long before.
to answer the statement on the thread. Mountain Bob, is right on this one.
Jesus is the savoir of the world, but not the whole world will come to him to receive it.
HE died for the sins of the whole world. So that means everyone could have been saved
IF , IF they had only come and continued by grace IN HIM.
the whole world . however most will reject him, perhaps not in mouth
but in heart they do reject.
Jesus said more than just what bob said.
He even thanked the Father it was hid from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes.
GOD resists the proud. But , I make this offer.
REPENT peoples and come to Christ and ye shall receive the pardon of sins
and learn how to walk righteously. Better continue in Him, for if not
even paul said.........I too be cast out.
Man I hate interfaith. if I could I would burn any concept of it, its world peace from the minds of all
men. But I have not that power.
Only the desire to preach the real and only gospel of peace
which is the only peace a man can have. CHRIST , the reconciliation between GOD and mankind.
The mystery, that had be predestined from the beginning and was hidden in the OT scriptures, was that the Gentiles were also predestined to be God's chosen people. Two flocks united in Christ, the One Seed, Jew and Gentile.That's not talking about favoritism, it's talking about the mercy of God. God declares in his word that he will show mercy to whom he will show mercy. It's up to him. In his eternal counsel, before the beginning of time, he predestinated some to everlasting life (not based on anything they did either; that's where the favoritism can come from since God is no respecter of persons, in that way he does not show favoritism). That's not playing favorites, it just what he wanted to do. You don't question God, he can do what he wants with his creation.
By all means we preach the gospel to all. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel.John 6:44-46 "44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45It is written in the prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’d Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me— 46not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father."
And John 6:65 "65Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”"
Seems like it's not *YOUR* offer to make.
This is a very good question, and one that comes up frequently.
The term, "god" is very vague. There are people who seek many gods; however, there are none (who have not been drawn by God) who seek the true and Living God.
Consider Adam and Eve. When they sinned they hid from God and covered themselves in fig leaves. No sinner seeks God, and no criminal seeks a cop.
I didn't say that Jesus talks to everyone. He calls His sheep by name. Not all are His sheep.
and this is THE VERDICT sir.
Do you know that GOD, by sending HIS SON into the world shut up the mouths of every whispering lying spirit who whispers and mutters everything and anything but CHRIST and THE MESSAGE of THE CROSS
You see, many profess to have god(s) but deny THE SON
He who denies THE SON denies THE FATHER who sent HIM
And in a sense calls GOD a liar
He does not believe GOD's TESTIMONY which HE has given of HIS SON
ONE TESTIMONY sir

Love you brother!
Here is one .Scripture please. Thank you.
In first point, you said criminal can't seek God. I'm confused.
