As for the belief that all those that don't worship Christ will go to hell, I admit I do have a problem it that I've never been able to resolve. What about all the people whom had no chance to hear the word? what about children that die before they even have a chance to understand? Are they all in hell? Hitler was a Christian, a catholic I think(although obviously not a good one), Gandhi was not a Christian. Is Hitler in heaven and Gandhi in hell? What about all the people who lived and died before Christ was even born? Are they in hell? Are the 6 Million Jewish people who died in the Holocaust in hell? All the aborted babies whom are supposedly full fledged humans with souls, are they hell? These are the things I can't accept. It has caused a sort of schism between myself and my religion and my church. I don't know what else to say.
There are Christian religions that believe these people will be accounted for. If your religion doesn't and this is a concern for you, perhaps it's time to do a little comparative religion shopping?
this is a little different that going out and shopping for new clothes. I have been going to the same church literally all my life. I was baptized there. So was my brother. I grew up. My niece is going to Sunday school there. My grandmother was a member there until she died. My brother and his wife got married there. My family is there. I have known multiple members of the church all my life. It would be difficult if not impossible for me to leave my church.
Instead of telling me to leave my church, how about you answer the questions I posed above?
