i guess all the people of other religions that just happened to be born somewhere that didn't have a dominant christian presence are just shite outta luck

All the more reason to spread the gospel.

Seems like it.

I like the Mormon version of Christianity the best since it offers the most complete view that I have found of who we are, why we are here, and what is possible for us after this life.
I'm not Mormon, but I certainly wouldn't mind if they were right. They believe virtually everyone gets into the lowest level of heaven at least... And apparently even that level is so nice that if you caught a glimpse of it you would kill yourself immediately to get there.

70% of the World's population is non-Christian. 70% are going to Hell?

The reformation was the greatest travesty in the history of civilization.

I'd be surprised if it was only 70.

Well that's the thing isn't it? John 14:6 really cuts the matter to the bone. There is no wiggle room there. Either you believe what Jesus said in John 14:6 or you don't. And if what he said in that verse is true, then the rest has to be true. It's pretty much an all or nothing type deal.

"Biblical quotes"
Someone once told me is that the thing separating the denominations is the part of the Bible each chooses to ignore.
Jesus says a lot of things, some of them clearer than others. For me, and I speak only for myself, I'm supposed to grapple with that, to earn my spiritual depth by really wrestling with it.
I am very careful about how I present this. Jesus taught pretty clearly that the penalty is harsh for those who mislead. My faith is deep, really deep. Yet I'm very wary of blanket certainty. For me, that's because I try to stare deeply, and fearlessly, into the conflicting mess that is the Bible, and into the opaque words and elliptical stories of my Savior.

Raised Southern Baptist and I'm still Southern Baptist. The church that aligns with my personal preferences are the ones where the congregation understands that the church isn't just for "do gooders," but is for sinners (hard to find). Plus, the preacher has to provide fodder for the mind, heart, and soul - not just hell and brimstone...

For me it's all about how I feel about the church's environment, message, ect...
I was baptized baptist, then switched to a Methodist church because it was a really good community that did a great job with youth ministries and mission trips. My gf is catholic but we both disagree with some of the practices, so we are checking out a Presbyterian church that we've heard good things about

I said this same thing the other day and wrote it in the book of "Cold Duck"... So yall better start praying to the duck or you are going to hell.

nothing for me, then. that was the first of many things that led me away from religion

Well that's a decision we each have to make for ourselves. You've made your choice and while it's different from mine, I respect it. Just do yourself a favor and never settle in and stop searching for truth.
