We're all going some place when we die. Where will that be? Wherever you decide.

[b][c=008099]Jesus didn't leave us to guess. He told us our soul never dies. He said it ends up in one of two places, for eternity, and we get to decide which place that is. God doesn't make that choice [i]for[/i] us.

It's so simple, some miss it altogether. God spelled it out for us, in His Word.

Jesus said we all have a sinful nature, and sin is the ONLY thing that condemns us and keeps us separated from God and heaven. It only makes sense that heaven wouldn't be heaven, if we dragged our sins in with us.

Jesus said, "Come to Me in prayer, if you love, and long to be with God for eternity. I will forgive your sins, so they no longer condemn you nor keep you separated from your Heavenly Father. I will see that you are forgiven and kept eternally secure by My grace, and through your faith in Me."

Why do we make that to be something hard to do, when it is so very simple? God is no liar. He loves you beyond all human understanding and wants you to be with Him in heaven. However, if you leave your soul's destiny to chance, sin will keep you forever separated from God. So you can see just how important it is, to prepare for the afterlife, right now. [/c][/b]

@Elanor Intervening because you have mentioned some interesting points and posted some great questions.

Let me try to answer your specific questions
[quote]How come it’s believed that ‘no man will enter heaven without excepting Christ’
[/quote] Entering the heaven is no ordinary task. However we need not worry because Jesus has already simplified that extra ordinary task simple for us. We just need to have faith and accept Jesus as our savior. I know some may argue it to be unscientific without even bothering to reason logically. I have been dealing with many believers of other faiths and one of the scientific analogy that I use is....
It requires fuel to propel the rocket into the orbit. It really takes that extra bit of energy. Our faith acts as the fuel that propels our soul into God's kingdom.

I believe @LadyGrace have beautifully mentioned the reasons in the post itself in a very concise manner. I feel this is the simple and best explanation we can ever have.

Jesus has given us two options and he also mentioned to us the right option. Each option that we choose has different destination. If we choose the wrong option inspite of knowing the correct option, is it fair to expect Jesus take the blame?
About your last phrase, do you mean uncertainty regarding different belief systems in this world? Do you mean different religions?
