Lee, upon what authority, and whose authority, do you make such statements?
Are your statements in agreement with the Bible, a Book which you claim to
believe in? Sadly, the answer is "no".

Exactly what is the criteria for determining whether or not one is damned, or
to say it in another way, judged? The answer is clearly found in the
Scriptures, and Jesus answered it Himself when He said:

". . . I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me."
John 14:6, KJV

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
John 3:36, KJV

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire."
Revelation 20:15, KJV

There's your answer, straight from the Bible, Lee. If one rejects Christ,
eventually, there will be an ultimate price to pay for his or her unbelief,
whether they are Jewish, Muslim or any other belief system, or even if they
don't have a belief system, such as atheists.

I agree that not all Christians who say they are Christians, are really
Christians. Hypocrisy is no stranger to Christianity or any other religion.

Lee, I understand what you are trying to say, but to claim that there are now
no unbelievers in the world, if that is truly what you are trying to say, is
a bit ludicrous. Just visit the HOLYSMOKE echo. Some of those folks certainly
aren't believers in God or in Christ.

LL> He made even more believers after He had risen from the grave, scaring

True indeed, but not everyone believed, not then, and certainly not now.

LL> So who are we to say who are "non-believers"?

I already answered this above with three important Scriptures. I gave you
Christ's straight answer, not mine. :)
