I think that I might have given some people here some wrong impressions in the past. So, I'd just like to clear a few things up.
1. I am a Christian.
2. This means that I believe in one God, who expresses Himself as a Trinity of people - God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. This also means that I believe all other gods/godesses/deities-of-any-description are fakes, invented by humans or by Satan to trap people and keep them away from God.
4. In addition, I believe that everyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell.
5. Understandably, I would really rather all you people didn't go to Hell. Hence, I'm praying for you. And I'm going to keep praying for you. Even if you ask me not to.

So, there we go.

Uhm, I remember a passage about God saying He would 'spit the lukewarm from [His] mouth', or some such, as the day of judgement drew near.

*looks at bible.gospelcom.net*

Aha, that'd be Revelation 3:16, then.

Though that's addressed to Christians.

True, but I couldn't think of any directly relavent examples off the top of my head. Feel free to do better :).

That's a letter to a church however, and is for people who have known about Jesus, but aren't changing their lives because of it.

And this is wrong, academic knowledge of Jesus doesn't mean much in salvation terms. (Paul: "work out your salvation with fear and trembling").

However, this debate is about people who have never heard of Jesus.

And I think God is still looking for people passionate about him, to say "I think there's a God" and just leave it at that isn't enough. It is specifically Abraham's response to God, his faith, that the bible says makes him 'right with God' (to paraphrase slightly).

So, that all said I'm not sure I completely understand the point you're making.

I do agree that being Christian is much better than not knowing about Jesus atall.

What do you think will happen to those people who have never heard about Jesus, through no fault of their own?
