He only saves those who seek Him.

Jesus doesn't sound like a very nice person to me.
That's the way it is for those who don't seek Him.
Are you 100% sure?
Wow.
Too bad he's dead then, huh?
Moses didn't seek him.
Abraham didn't seek him.
Noah didn't seek him.
So were these great men not saved then?
They knew that the Messiah would come to replace the lamb sacrifice, so they believed on the Messiah who would come to Earth, it was presaged in Genesis where God said that the seed of the woman would crush the head of Satan.
I don't think Moses, Abraham, or Noah ever mentioned "the messiah" one time during their life in the Bible. Nor did they ever think about Jesus or get baptized in water.
Also, what about Native Americans who never had access to any of the prophesies of the Messiah coming to earth? They never even comprehended the idea of Jesus existing, and had no way of doing so.

All people admit there is a Creator, or they are lying, says the Bible, and God judges the people who have never heard the Gospel according to how they respond to their consciences, in light of the fact that they know there is a Creator to whom they must answer.
So in this case, Jesus is taken out of the equation. Jesus is not needed.
Also, does God judge people according to how they respond to their conscience, or how they respond to their Spirit? Or are the two the same?
All people groups are aware of the sacrifice system for atonement.
I'd say the human spirit and conscience are just about the same thing.

Yeh, and I'd say the soul is essentially the intellect, while the spirit is more the conscience.
The soul = intellelect. This means that the soul is basically another term for the human brain, or human mind, which provides intellect. The human brain is a part of the physical body. Therefore, the soul is essentially the human body. This means that there aren't three parts to "us," there are two. The physical body, and the Spirit. Logically, this makes sense.
So, assuming the existence of a God which is made up of 100% spirit, when "we" die our physical bodies (and our souls) will die off and become non-existant, and we will become 100% spiritual beings, which is what Angels are.
So in the afterlife, we will be 100% spiritual beings and will have no souls. This seems to be the only conclusion.

M*W: And those who don't seek 'him' don't really care, do they? So what is your point?

M*W: Jesus didn't exist, so as a fictional character, niceness isn't all that important, is it? It simply tells a fictious story, but who needs that kind of allegory?
Hey Med Woman, in your humble opinion, are there any accounts in the Bible which you feel are real history? (This oughta be good.)
