There is a problem in regards to the level of respect a person of one particular faith may have to a person of a different faith.
If it is true that Christians believe that those of us who do not take Jesus Christ to be their savior are going to hell (and it is true), then mustn’t the Christians of the world (appx. 2.1 billion in ranks), think that the rest of us, (appx. 5.5 billion), are doomed to an eternity in hell?
Doesn't that make you think dearly of your Christian neighbors?
Take note of some of these quotes from the bible:
"He that has the Son has this life; he that does not have the Son of God does not have this life."(John 5:12)
"He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him." (John 3:36)
Those two quotes are threats, nothing more. Take god in your life and you will be okay, dare to disbelieve and you will be punished. Does that really sound like a guy you want to follow?
This seems to me to be a big problem in the discussion among religions, or even in the tolerance of those outside a certain religion.
