and volunteer to suffer in hell together with the MAJORITY (including those not in your sect and your loved ones)? This is what Jesus did by dying on the cross.

From the below answers, it seem like going to heaven in more important for you?

Jesus died for me. I don't have to go to hell and suffer, pure and simple.
 
Blessings.The prize has been paid for already from the only one , that is able He is the only one that was found sinless to pay for all of the sins of humanity, we all are sinful and full of faults we see that many died for his word and because of hated towards His followers, but this is a different situation ,in these special causes All of Christ disciples died for Christ sake, except for one. And so did other faithful saints, and many are still dying today and have been deeply persecuted for the gospel.
 
no, i cannot save anyone. not one single person on this earth. and it's already been done, the price has been paid by Jesus Christ.
 
Actually Jesus wanted non-believers dead. He asked to have believers brought and be beheaded before Him.
 
No. I know Paul alluded to it, but I will not walk away from a gift from God, it's too valuable.
 
I can honestly say I don't know about strangers but I have thought about this regarding my family and I think if I had the choice (I don't think you get the choice though) I would for my parents/siblings/children.
 
You have the same chance to being in heaven as I do. Not because I could sacrifice myself for you. Jesus did that already, as the perfect spotless lamb of God. He forgave me of my sins, and He can do the same for you. My sacrifice doesn't pay anyone's sin- ONLY CHRIST'S/
 
Well well well! Look whose here trying to tempt us as Jesus was. This question is similar to the one satan used on the Lord Jesus as stated in Matthew & Luke
Matthew 4
5Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and
6said unto Him, "If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down. For it is written: `He shall give His angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.'"
7Jesus said unto him, "It is written again: `Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'"

Luke 5
9And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Well I say to you as Jesus said: Get thee behind me, Satan!
 
I may have sympathy for them but after all I am only human and my flesh hates getting burned.
 
Jehovah's witnesses follow Christ's example of long suffering, as many are in prison and have been and are still persecuted for trying to help others com to an accurate knowledge of truth. Many have died to help the world become reconciled to God through faith in Christ.

Why would I offer to do what Jesus already did.


If they reject the work of Jesus Christ, the son of God and God himself...what can my little contrabution do.


I cannot save you, I can only show you the way.
 
Well, I'm not sinless, so my suffering would ultimately amount to nothing. You forget that that is also why Jesus died on the cross instead of someone else.
 
Why would I do this? God already did and if you won't accept it from him why would you be any more likely to accept it from me?
 
Isn't listening and see non believers to live their lives with disbelief knowing that they will be judged for destruction painful enough??

It is like watching a sibling destroy them self and not being able to do anything about.
