I am curious about somthing. are you familiar with the parachuting baby thing where you're skydiving with a christian baby who suddenly speaks and say "I will not open my parachute unless you renounce atheism and accept jesus". like, I feel like jesus would save you and the baby if you dont renounce atheism cause if he truly loves someone, he would help someone regardless of religion.
this scenario is riding on a whole bunch of false assumptions. for one, babies cannot understand/ choose salvation, so they’re automatically protected under God’s grace and go to Heaven.
second, to make this scenario accurate: Jesus was in the plane explaining to all the passengers that they needed to use His parachutes to jump or they would die. but some people still jump out of the pane without His parachute, expecting to be just fine as they plummet down. Jesus already spent the money and spread the word explaining the danger, so why are the people not accepting His safety gear?
it’s ridiculous to say that if Jesus “truly” loved someone, He’d send them to Heaven even if they believed in a different god. if someone hates you, would it be loving to force them to be with you for eternity? God respects our freewill and choice to accept His forgiveness or not.
lots of people seem to think getting to Heaven is just for people that are “good enough”. so they see people of other religions that are nice and think, “surely these people are good enough.” they don’t understand that Heaven is God’s Presence and only sinless people can be there. we have all sinned and broken the Law. Jesus, the Son of God, never sinned and died in our place. He rose again, and His sacrifice is attributed to us legally in the eyes of God when we accept Him. legally there is not other way but through Him.
Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me.” (John 14:6)
