I was talking to my sister about my belief in God. She goes to a church with about 15 people and the pastor/"prophet" says that most "Christians" are going to hell.
Here is a related sermon he gave: ("My Christian Grandmother Went to Hell | Shocking Truth Revealed") [no need to listen to this though]
This is supported by the Bible:
Matthew 7:13-14
My sister quoted this:
John 14:6
She also said that non-Christian Jews aren't saved because they are deceived.
Anyway I have a theory. The verse talks about coming to the Father. The verse doesn't say that only Christians can come to God. That means that Jews in the Old Testament could come to God even if they didn't believe in Jesus. They just came to God rather than specifically to the Father. Also the Jews are God's people so they should be able to come to God.
So I was wondering what Christians here think... After Jesus died and rose did that mean that the Jews could no longer come to God if they didn't believe in Jesus's resurrection? I also mean the Jews that were priests in the temple? I wonder what Christians think about my theory.....

I believe I'm in a simulation and there is a non-obvious intelligent force. I think this force guided the Bible but most of it isn't historical. My sister believes that to be saved I need to believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead. I pointed out that Bishop Shelby Spong and the pastor Martin Luther King Jr didn't believe this.Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
