OT: Okay, Jar..... 8~}
Since you, a mere mortal - like myself, seem to be all knowing, and assume to speak for God.....
Please explain the concept of "saved" as opposed to "unsaved"....
And what happens to the "saved" and "unsaved" in the afterlife....
How does "saved" v. "unsaved" fit with the lifestyle of Jesus, compassionate and humble?... The NT has been the subject of translation and interpretation too, as have other holy books. The influence of organized religion can not be ruled out. Organized religion's interpretation of certain Biblical concepts [such as "Chosen", or "saved"] have been the source of much divisiveness [hatred and bloodshed] throughout history. I can't imagine that that was God's intention. But this is just my HUMBLE opinion, of course....
