If the way to heaven is through acceptance of Jesus into your heart, the alternative being damnation, what happens to all non-Christian peoples of the earth?
According to the New Testament, the non-christian is more likely to be saved than the Christian.
I was told as a child that those people chose to live in ignorance of God and therefore deserved Hell.
That is a horrible thing to tell anyone, child or grownup.
Obviously, the best possible scenario is that only one religion is truly right and the rest either innacurate or plain wrong.
Religions are but a human construct and totally unrelated to GOD. It's likely that no religion is completely right just as it's likely that no religion is completely wrong.
The Map is not the Territory.
