Originally posted by Zander 88i think that if someone rejects Jesus then they are not going to heaven, period. However, i think that you can know Jesus without knowing him by name. if you do everything in matthew 25 and just shine in lovingness (is that a word?). if you think of others before yourself and stick humbly to the ten commandments, even though you have never heard them (apart from the first one, perhaps π) then you do know Jesus and you shall be saved. God is love. if you know love, you know God.
I know it's a tought question, but I feel it's best to answer them rather than avoid them. Thanks for your time.
You do believe God is loving and just. Only problem is you accept that a person can be saved without knowing Jesus, without understanding his message. You admit religion is not needed to go to heaven. You only need to live a loving and compassionate life.
