The Truth: Jesus Said: I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life. John 14:6

No one comes to God but through Him. Those are His words. These are His Words also:

5Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
Hewbrews 10:5-7

He also wrote through Paul:

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, 7 but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11

Let us not forget:

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

The Truth: 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

1 John 4:10-16

It was never nails that held Jesus to the cross but His love for us that held Him there. This is the Truth that was recorded by those who witnessed it.

So all those people before Christ came along, or of different religions or no religion are going to burn in hell?


Still sounds like blackmail to me from a very uncaring and capricious deity

That is not what His Word says. God never cares about man made religion, He only cares that people obey Him and walk in the light as He is in the light. Religion cannot save mankind, only Jesus Christ can save mankind.

In other words, it's up to us who goes into hell and who doesn't. It was that way in the Old Testament and it's this way now. We decide who goes to hell and who doesn't by doing one simple act: reject Christ and we choose to go to hell, receive Christ and we choose to enter into God's kingdom of heaven.
