Most humans are decent people who just want to live their lives in peace. Most people are good people and that has to count for something.
The only destruction we should be cheering is for the evil assholes who have made life harder for everyone. This isn't about scoring the correct religion or living in fear that you might go to hell- in fact I think a lot of the religious zealotry is a product of the cabal to divide us further. Seriously Christians, out of seven billion people and thousands of religions you just so happened to be lucky enough to score the correct one? No. More likely that's how God revealed Himself to you. With the size and scope of the universe, it stands to reason that God has more than one way of reaching people. And if you feel the call to be more pius, that's perfectly fine as long as it doesn't cost you your compassion for other people.
Most sinners are just as lost and confused as all of us and want to live in peace. Jesus says we must love them and remember, there's forgiveness for sin. Not evil. And yes there is a huge difference. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be a distinction.
Our only way out of this is to unite on the common ground of freedom. Most people still believe in it. As the post shows people are waking up to the lies because at our core and despite what some very wrong preachers have claimed, humans are NOT evil. Sinful? Selfish? Sure. Evil? No. Less than 1% of the human population is actually evil and even then most can still be redeemed. Keep praying and keep loving. Don't let the human spirit die out because evil assholes claim it's bad. It's not. If we are God's creation, then we are inherently good.
The Bible teaches that no one is "lucky enough" to "score the correct" anything.
(Emphases mine.)
"As it is written: 'None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.
The venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.'” - Romans 3:10-18
Disbelieve the Bible if you want, but do not claim Jesus was some kind of hippie who only wanted peace and love and forgiveness.
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household."- Matthew 10:34-36
Jesus talked more about hell than anyone else in the Bible.
Jesus: “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." - Matthew 7:13-14
Many who think they will be saved are not.
Jesus: "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" - Matt. 7:21-23
"And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’
In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” -Luke 13: 23-30
There will be representatives from every nation and language in the kingdom of God. God chooses who those people are.
"What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?" -Romans 9:14-24
Jesus taught hard things and following him is a battle every day, but there is joy in it surpassing any earthly pleasure. He came to earth to perfectly fulfill the law of God in our place, and to die to forgive our sins that we might be made righteous and molded into his image of perfect sinlessness. Because he rose from the dead, Christians have the promise that we too will rise from the dead like he did. For us to live is Christ, to die is gain because once we are absent from our bodies we are in his presence and will be forever.
