I feel that this verse is one of the hardest lines for
christians to defend.
1. We are all enabled with choice. god has given us
the human right to choose. but if you were given a choice
between eternal hellfire and brimstone versus eternal cavorting
with the angels, what kind of a choice is this? It's like one
of those insurance agents coming up to you and asking you whether
you want to make money. Of course everyone wants to make some
money! so OF COURSE he is the way, truth, life, blah blah
because if not him, then to hell with you (literally)!
2. Why jesus? why particularly him? because a
book of fiction says that he is the son of god? first of all,
prove that the bible itself is not a volume of inconsistencies and
hypocrisy. secondly, if i go straight to god by circumventing
jesus, will i still go to hell? because i dont necessarily need a
middle man in order to clear my path to heaven, if it exists at
all. why does god need an agent in this way?
3. hero worship. it's my way or the highway. i
respect your opinion and beliefs, in fact, I welcome criticism and
open debate about religion and beliefs. but i'm going to give
you a lifetime of soldiers in my army to tell you about me and
invite you to their churches. If during your lifetime if you
dont accept me as the one and only method to achieve eternal life,
then you've missed your chance, so burn in hell. BUT I STILL
LOVE YOU!
Hmm, maybe you wana read up on how the bible came about to clear
some doubts... Here's an offer, if you're open to know about
Christianity, I can share with you... Just P.M. me... =)
