  So, from reneeisorym's reply:
  
  "What we really think is that if you do not trust in Jesus Christ, you will be eternally seperated from God's love.
  
  I do not personally think that hell is literally burning fire. I just believe hell is seperation from God."
  
  This is saying that all who do not trust in JC (Jews etc) will go to hell (whatever "hell" may be).
  
  It seems like there are a lot of weasel-word-ish ways of getting around it or phrasing it in a non-confrontational way but fact is- not accepting/believing in Jesus = Hell
  
  And that includes Jews. Yes or no? Yes.
  
  Please do not try to wiggle around this. If you are a born-again Christian you believe Jews, along with many other decent caring people ARE going to Hell.

  I am not trying to be mean or troublesome, and I don't have a problem with Born-againers believing what they would like.
  
  I am just wanting all of us to own up to what our faiths ACTUALLY teach us. Perhaps it can be eye opening.
  
  When I was a JW I avoided thinking about what I ACTUALLY believed- like god going to wipe out every non-dub person even if they were good people.
  
  When I took time to think about it, I changed my life. -Perhaps some of us need also to examine their faiths and decide if they REALLY accept what their church teaches...
  
  I really mean no offense to anyone.
  
  Respectfully to all,

  Have you stopped to think that perhaps they are telling you as much as they know?

  I'm sure that christians (not "born againers" please! ) are well able to read from a vast selection of scholarly works and then make up their own minds.

  Perhaps you are expecting the christians to be in a similar situation to the dubs where they have every belief spelled out for them and they are told what to believe. Christians have freedom and the position is as simple as I expressed inan earlier post.so let me spell it out: separation from God or fiery hell

  Personally I favour separation from God as an 'interpretation' (as reneeisorym also does) but I cannot criticise a christian having an alternative view.

  1. There's no such thing as a non-born again Christian.

  Yes there is.

  Here's where I am coming from. 1 John 5:1 NWT "EVERYONE believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God. Pub
