His answer means that he clearly does NOT believe all of the New Testament, or all of what Jesus said.
Are you happier, for example, with a Christian who doesn't struggle with the notion of people burning for all eternity in hell while Jesus looks on?

God may have His plan of justice for all of us, but it is not a place called hell.
That said, I realize my 'gut feeling' may oppose what's in the Bible, but I'm okay with that.
Originally posted by chaney3This gut feeling business is what leads to false teaches and false doctrines. Try to establish in your mind what Jesus is looking for. Take some time and read what Jesus preached.

able to be, we are all able too. Not many want it for a variety of reasons, some will play with
the idea, but never pull the trigger, because they don't want to sell out to the One that died
for their sins. Others like their sins over a Lord that tells us to repent from our sins, and
others think they can get by through some other means.
