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 END of the Bible was written a little over 2k years ago, the original letters and copies of them are still there, there was no rewriting, just many translations to English, most of the recent of which are twisted (KJV and earlier are faithful, a few since are too such as Young's Literal Translation from 1998)

Jesus (Yahusha) died and rose again a little over 2k years ago, the law of God was given far before this, and Jesus preached to those who were long dead when he was dead for 3 days

All of us deserve Hell, many are called but few are chosen; the gospel has been preached all over the world, anyone who doesn't know doesn't want to, though many of us try to tell anyone who has ears to hear

The simple phrase "other truth" implies subjective reality, and that has been scientifically disproven in general; anyone believing such is simply uneducated or unstable. I believed in sincerity because of what I felt when I was at a work camp and we sang praise at night and ate together, not an emotion but a fire amidst the people, and I believe now because God has done great things before my eyes and by the spirit of God I have cast demons out of several people, he has shown many miracles in front of me

@Adstar I'm pretty sure they started AD, Anno Domini, year of our Lord, after his resurrection

The Bible doesn't mention it

Are you sure?

@th3r0n You are correct that the year One was not accuratly identified by the monk called Dionysius Exiguus.. Most accounts that are more accurate put the birth date of Jesus closer to 4 BC .. Jesus was executed in the year 30 AD because the account of His execution week lines up with that year.. This fits into the general idea that Jesus started His ministry when he was about 30 years of age and His ministry lasted 3 years..

Here is a web page dealing with the account of the week in question if you want to have a read::
