I never could believe that an infinite God would be so small as to refuse admittance to only a select following.
I never could believe devout followers of other religions would be denied the ear and the grace of God and sent to hell.
I never could believe a tribe of natives living far from the world in some undiscovered habitat would be sent to hell without having a prayer of hearing of Christ.
I never could believe a child born incapable of understanding a word of Christianity let alone accepting Christ would be sent to hell.
I never could believe a young man or woman raised in horrendous circumstances who made bad choices that led to criminality, death by a drug overdose or a suicide, would be sent to hell.
And, frankly, I never could believe in the eternal damnation of a hell or a God that would condone it.
But I am a believer in and a follower of Christ, but not as an only way or out of fear of going to a hell and not so dogmatically as to believe Christ is the only way.
And not as a member of any church. I refuse to be controlled or abide by mostly man made rules of man made churches.
And I see Christ more as a Cosmic Christ, a personal, approachable part of the infinite Absolute that the acceptance of can affect profound changes in a person’s life. I write this not as theory or belief, but from direct experience.
