I don't understand Christianity

- The bible is 2000 years old and has been rewritten and re-interpreted multiple times but people still take it so literally
- Jesus was around just over 2000 years ago, so did everyone before then who didn't know about this religion go straight to hell?
- What about people who don't accept jesus into their lives because they havn't heard much about Christianity or grew up in a different religion? Do they deserve an eternity in hell?
- If you are Christian, why? And are you open to other truths? Or do you believe the bible is the only truth?
Make it make sense

The Bible does not make this statement.. But a lot of people opposed to Christianity falsely put it forward as being a Biblical teaching..

If people read or hear the message of Jesus and reject it and His gift of salvation they will have eternity in the Lake of Fire.. Accepting His message is accepting Him... Too many think it is just about believing that Jesus exists..

There are truths scattered about in a lot of religions.. The truth is the truth no matter who speaks it or where it comes from.. What sabotages people is the lies that are dispersed among the truth in those religions.. You can have 95% truth but that 5% lies you are believing in will destroy you..
