I would hope another way I could be saved is if God understood that my critical thinking skills did not allow me to always understand/beleive the Bible and the Ransom etc (as mentioned in the thread) that they would look to see if I lived as a good person. I would hope being a good person ie. basically MOST of the 10 Commandments as an example, would have me saved.
Saved from judgement for the times we are less than stellar people (see page 6). Saved from Adamic sin. The scope of this thread is Christianity and the Bible mentions Adamic sin whether we like it/understand the concept or not.
(I understand 10 Commandments was old covenant but it is still a good way to live by and a good example in explaining what I mean)

Yes they gave the best option, but isn't there a possibility there are others? If they used the word "only" I'd understand.
Not being difficult, just thinking out loud and I agree, I've always had a poor knowledge of the Bible.

That passage mentions A way to be saved but doesn't say it is the ONLY way

Just like I would ask a family member for forgiveness for showing those qualities towards them, I would ask forgiveness to God.

From the times, like all humans where I'm a less then a stellar person.
All humans are at times ungrateful, angry, greedy, unkind, disloyal, dishonest etc.

Those on here can perhaps point me to resources where they beleive these facts are. What's wrong with asking and having a discussion on a discussion forum?
However, to one person (when it comes to religion) their beleif is fact and the other person's beleif is wrong and is an opinion.
So I guess I am technically asking for both?

As I've stated, this is a group of like minded individuals who went through the same thing.
Many here also probably read the works of scholars and theologians as they went through what I am going through now and can share what they've learned.
I'm not sure what the objective of your posts are.
