Paul, I know exactly what you mean. Last summer I was so confused that I just wanted to quit being a christian. I was tired of seeing people judging and of seeing ministers fall. Then I really sought God and remebered something very important. Keep your eyes on Jesus! Not on any man no matter how much you might respect him. Also I don't beleive in condemning anyone! I come from a jewish family. No one in my family knows Jesus and I lost my dad,mom,adopted mom and brother. I could make the desicion that they are in hell but my wife and I were discussing it. We just don't know. We can't make that final desicion. We don't know if they made their peace with God or not. I know God is merciful and thus I trust in His mercy andf don't worry. I know what the bible says but even taking what the bible says does not give us the ability to decide who is in hell and who is not. All I can do is proclaim what I know to the living. I really do hope that there are many muslims,jews... in heaven. I don't know though. I do beleive Jesus is the only way but the final desicion is God's and I know God will be just and each man will have an eaual chance and be judged by what he knew. I hope you can understand what I am saying. In His Love, Eric.
