Your beliefs on Christianity are interesting, and I must say rather unique in my experience.

I am fully prepared to accept the fact that their may be a place of eternal punishment, but In my years of debating and pondering the idea with myself I feel that there most likely isn't. Is this based on a numerical calculation, or some sort of proof? Absolutely not. It is simply based on hundred of hours of soul searching, and following my heart.

As a Christian that follows the teaching of Christ how do you negate some of the more barbaric and close minded statements in the bible?

What bible do you believe to be the "true" version of the bible?

Do you believe in a literal physical eternal hell? If yes, How do you explain the "Condition" of one must accept Christ to be saved from hell, from a God who allegedly loves us unconditionally?

You can go to heaven IF you accept christ....is that not a condition?
