I never really understood this. At least, after I started thinking about it recently.
If Jesus died for our sins, wouldn't everyone be saved? What's the point of saying that his death gave all humans the chance to die if, appearantly, only 8 million people out of 7 BILLION will live?
I could see that his death would mean non-Jews could be saved, but that didn't seem to go in effect until Peter preached to the non-Jew Cornelius.
This, in turn, leads me to question: WHO will actually be saved and what should people do? The Bible seems to give contradictory/different ways to be saved. At one point it says you should confess your sins to God. At another it says to call on The Lord's name. The Bible also gives other ways to be saved. One could say you'd have to do all of those things, but since they're not mentioned in a single sermon, then that would make it hard for pre-Gospel followers to keep track of the requirements.
I still find it sad that many people in the Jecultah's Blindness religion haven't been awakened simply by reading the Bible and actually, JW propoganda-free, independently reflecting on what it says and teaches.
What are your thoughts?
