What would keep a person from following the Christian idea ? Why would anybody want to go to Hell instead of Heaven ? How could any sane person not be moved by the Christian doctrine ? Would a person have to be very mentally ill to reject eternal Salvation ? Is it pure evil in the heart of the non Christian that prevents him from accepting Christ as his Savior ?
or
Could it simply be that the Christian story is very primitive, and cruel in it's nature, and a lot of perectly sane people reject it because it makes absolutely no sense on any level ?

I'll tell you. It is just as an old hymn states - "Somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus".
Many people didn't know much about what you say. But in the shadows of thier difficulties they called on the name of Jesus and found that God was real.
In the thorny and knotty delimmas of their lives, in the shadows of sadness and helplessness, One came to help them. And He stayed with them.
This not an explanation for all believers in Christ. Many of us simply found Jesus in the shadows of life. Or I should say that Jesus found us.

Is it pure evil in the heart of the non Christian that prevents him from accepting Christ as his Savior ?

Originally posted by buckkyIf Christianity were true, it would be great. The problem is, it's a bunch of bunk. To believe in Christianity means to believe in a pack of lies. Don't you think living on lies is not a good thing?
