Please read this post. Though, it looks similar, it’s very different from my last series of posts.
If I thought I might believe Christianity BUT, I wasn’t comfortable with the idea that Jesus would Only have me take a ‘leap of faith’:
I could weigh my options:
Probability of God = 50/50
Bet against God
-----------------God Exists -----------> ‘Hell’
-----------------God doesn’t Exist ----> No ‘Heaven’
Bet for God
-----------------God doesn’t Exist ----> No ‘Heaven’
-----------------God Exists -----------> ‘Heaven’
But when I consider that God could = Jehovah, Krishna, Allah, Christian God, etc.
These other religions believe in ‘Hell’s in which I might ‘burn’ if I choose Christianity.
Therefore: AcTivE’s: “I don’t want to burn” is an argument for belief in all these religions.
What if Christianity’s God is the same as in all other Religions?
Bet on ‘Christian Only God’
------------------------------------Christian: Heaven
------------------------------------Krishna: Burn
------------------------------------Jehovah: Burn
------------------------------------Allah: Burn
------------------------------------Etc.
Bet on Common Divinity
------------------------------------Christian: Heaven
------------------------------------Krishna: Heaven
------------------------------------Jehovah: Heaven
------------------------------------Allah: Heaven
------------------------------------Etc.
I no longer need to fear 'Hell'.
And I can focus ALL energy on reaching ‘Heaven’.

I would really appreciate your help. Please think of it as ‘witnessing’ to me (that is the good spirit in which I send this post). Could you tell me (quotes from Jesus only please) when, where, why, etc. Jesus says one would go to ‘Hell’?
I would am really interested in this. I would like to continue our discussion on it.
