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

When we are born again the Holy Spirit comes in to our heart and we are changed forever.

The Bible is in its originality. We know that since just a few years ago the dead sea scrolls were found and it is the same as 6000 year old Bible. Also thousands of prophesies have come true so we know it is true, and Gods word. I have tested the promises and I know they are true.

Most people do not go to heaven, true. God only saved Noah and his wife and three kids and their mates 8 people. All others he drowned because of unbelief. Noah trusted in God without knowing the name of Jesus. Jesus and the Father are one God. God has shared that "the firmament declares his Glory" so we are all without excuse, even if we never heard of Jesus.

Do we deserve eternal hell? The Bible does not talk about "hell". It is possible that there is just [i]death [/i]for the unbelievers, and there is also a possibility that there's a new earth where people will really regret not being more obedient to God, even if they have eternal life. I am not sure what the next life will be like, but I don't take any chances. I want to love the Lord with all my heart, mind, and soul.

You just have to ask God for the truth, he will show you. I did, and he changed my life. Jesus is my provider, my helper, my healer.
Jesus said [b][c=BF0000]"I am the way, the life, and the truth, no one comes to The Father but through me"[/c][/b]
