If that were so, then you would comment on how people act, not their beliefs.
You are a liar.
I've heard christians of some sects hate christians of other sects far more than they hate atheists. What do you say, eladar?

That's why I like you.
Do you think, and this is serious, that the two concepts of 'hate in their hearts' or 'have God in them' are in any way related?
everyone who claims to be a Christian is, because for me if God isn't in someone, they
are just another person with a human label on them.
Our labels divide us, even within Christian groups it is sad that we are divide ourselves
due to human likes and dislikes, and avoid coming together in Christ. He is the best part
of Christianity, the very best part of life, and we treat Him as an after thought at times.
If we allow hate in our hearts, we are walking in the flesh not the Spirit of God, since Jesus
died for all, to pick any reason to dislike another is small potatoes compared to who
units us.

Of course you mean that salvation for all men is *possible* through Jesus, but not automatic, like chaney says, right? The gift still has to be accepted.
If not, then the crucifixion was meaningless, and Jesus is playing games, with "strings attached" to His sacrifice.
He is not that petty.

Why aren't you Hindu? Shiva built this world long before Abraham was born.
Why aren't you Muslim? Mohammad has the latest word from God.
Why aren't you Mormon? Angels gave Joseph Smith fresh print direct from God's angels just a few grandfathers ago!
Why aren't you Amish? They love the Bible too.
