Okay, I am very passionate about this. I think all who are reading this know that. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except thru Me."
Now one has to decide one of two things about Christ, He is who He says, or He was the craziest man on earth. Also in 2 Timothy 3:16 for those who doubt the inerrancy of Scripture...the Bible says that, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking and correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." So at this point, either we accept that by faith or we don't. God does give us the freedom to do so. He will not force one to spend eternity with Him, if you chose not to spend this very short life in His presence. I happen to accept it. I also know, Sweet Honey Tampa that when I stand before God, He will only see me thru the blood and righteousness of Jesus. Not a license to sin, but liberty to be who I am and know that God fully accepts me.
