I'll make it very clear for you, Bill. Jesus came to take away your death sentence, that by His sacrifice you might live on for eternity in paradise, with God, free from your labors, free from pain, free from loss, from longing, having every need met, shining like the stars forever.

Jesus wants to take away your wasted life, and give you spotless perfection so that you too can enter in to eternal life with Him.

He wants to do this for everybody. It's why He came ... to die as a substitute, to be the sacrifice the Jewish people used to offer up every day, to take away sin. Jesus did this willingly, in love, to save that which was lost by the fall of Adam and Eve, to save men's eternal souls from Hell.

That is what my "religion" teaches. It teaches that we all need Jesus Christ, and that without Him we already stand condemned, lost in eternity, on the road to Hell from which there will never be any escape ever.

If you ask Him to forgive your sins, He will, Bill, when you ask Him from your heart. This is true of all people on the Earth. No exceptions.
