Trauma,
How is that contradictory?
That is what Jesus said. It basically means that he judges you according to the light in your life.
I feel that it's fair judgement.
In Matthew, Jesus compares the judicial system with that of God's. The metaphore went something like this;
"The judge will throw you in jail. And I tell you the truth, you won't get out until you have paid the last cent"....
Could Jesus be talking about temporary punishment? And not eternal damnation?
Read it entirely yourself, it's in the beginning of Matthew.
I don't know where you ge the notion of getting a second chance.
It sounds like you speak about reincarnation.
Now I don't see anything that supports that theory in the bible.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think all who do not bow down to Jesus will go to hell. There is exceptions you know. You already mentioned people in rural places all over the earth who never had the chance to hear the gospel.
God is merciful and I know that he has a special place for them.
(Meaning exceptions)
But I cannot speak for those who are brain washed by other religions. True, if they never had the chance to hear the gospel then God might spare them.
But there are those who hear the gospel and still don't convert.
From the looks of it, it appears that God will shove them aside just like they did him when they heard the gospel....
As for the multiple heaven theory....
I don't see that in the Christian bible........
PS.... Protestant Christians are the only Christians who believe that those who do not know Jesus won't get into heaven....
