Here is the rest of my proof as based on the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
Does that actually qualify as proof?
Romans 5:8
BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE
WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
If we accept the Bibles word, which is almost a "friend of a friend" situation.
1. God loves the world so much that He made a way for us to escape Hell when we die. Don't ignore God's love for you. Don't reject the only way of salvation.
So the Bible says...
2. God sent His Son Jesus to the world with a command: that we (the world) should exercise faith in Jesus Christ for salvation from sin and separation from God in Hell.
So the Bible says...
3. God's will is that we believe in Jesus Christ so that we can have everlasting life. That was His whole purpose for sending Jesus to Earth. To die for our sins, and rise from the dead so that we could have everlasting life.
So the Bible says...
4. God doesn't want ONE PERSON TO PERISH IN THE LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER.
So the Bible says... though it is illogical. If God didn't want people to perish in the lake of fire the lake of fire wouldn't exist.
5. God desires for all people to be saved.
So the Bible says... even though many more would be saved if he offered them proof, and pointed us towards the correct religion.
6. God shows His great love for us by sending His only Son to die for our sins while we were still sinners. God didn't wait for us to start being good before sending Jesus.
Holy Repetition Batman! You do realise rewording previous points doesn't actually make them new do you?
7. God commands us to believe on Jesus because He wants us to be saved. God also commands us Christians to love one another.
Which is why there is such passionate division amongst the many sects/denominations and why God has made no obvious sign to the people of the earth to say which are the correct Christians.
