Why are so many people in denial when it comes to eternal life?

What makes you think that you are right? Doesn't the person who believes in another religion or none at all have the same proof or deep beliefs in their faith?  What makes you think that they aren't all the same or that your way is the only right way?

MOST people don't, since MOST people are not Christian, and don't have a clue as to what the question even means. Within Christianity MOST people don't believe that. Where did you get such a weird idea?

Most people don't think of the harm they induce on themselves, and believe that their way is right, and most of them don't even think about giving their life to Christ. Some of them want to be in the "in crowd" or they don't want to sacrifice the things of this world. But we as Christians have to be an example for them, to show them that Christ can have control over their life and they still can have good wholesome fun. And what peace he gives us. And indescribable blessings we receive. We must tell them that Jesus is on his way back SOON and we must be born again in Christ to gain eternal life in Heaven.

Most of the arguments against are faith based.  Many religions believe that you cannot enter eternity if you are not whole physically.  This is the only argument I could think of, other than spread of disease which most are screened for during tissue match.

i believe in god and know that he has a purpose for my life... those who don't believe are afraid to know god because they don't understand what god is all about... and it was harsh  to say that all non Christians will go to hell... only god our father knows that ... i just hope that those who aren't Christians will ask god into their heart before it is too late for them to do anything about it...

When it comes to religion, a lot of people are unable to accept anything aside from what they were raised to believe or have come to believe.  They believe that their way is the right way, and everything else is just bunk.

Its little wonder that people today are not interested in the things of the Lord as we are told that in the last days man will be ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and man will not want to retain any knowledge of God in their minds. These same people are quick to blame God or everything yet don't want to know him when they are not experiencing any problems. From my personal experience the real problem is getting people to firstly accept that they need a savior as they have a condition in them that condemns them to hell and they seem oblivious to this. The condition is called "sin in the flesh" and its this condition which ultimately sends them to hell unless they come Gods' way and accept Jesus as their savior and become born again. Judging from the answers you have already received, it is apparent that the vast majority are still totally in the dark when it comes to this critical issue. Many are content to carry on as though they will be O.K. as they live good lives and do good deeds whilst they are unaware that it is their inner condition which will result in their final destruction. All we can do is keep praying for "all men everywhere"

Hmmm, well; I don't know the details but still I can not fathom why someone would be denied that if they were ready and willing to die for the benefit of their Country. Yes it is appalling, and I'm not Christian so perhaps I'm more open to this than a Christian would be; yet I've found many Christians to be quite reasonable so I find this somewhat baffling. I think I shall look into this a little more.

A, of course, most christians do not realize that they already are in heaven on earth.  When we die it will be all over, the end. We don't even know that once we were part of human race.\n\nSo, don't look forward to be with God in Heaven, this is the only life we have, enjoy it while you can.

You're exactly right, too many people believe in that. Many believe going to heaven is something easy, it's actually hard. You need to fight evil spirits until the end.

in a sense you have answered your question,  denial.  they intentionally deny the existence of something they know is real. their heart tells them that they are wrong so they feel the need to outwardly express their opinion to believers. it makes them feel better about their denial of the truth.

I think that if they are truly Christians, that they have accepted Jesus as their personal savior, they are not going to hell. Somebody correct me if I am wrong about that. \n\nAnd I think, and this is just from my studies, I remember that Christian doctrine says we are all sinners and need Christ. Again, that is what I remember.\n\nIt is not my experience or my belief, mind you, but just what I think is Christian doctrine.

It can not be dispproven, many have tried and failed.\n1) live the life for yourself as God commanded\n2) read the bible and search answers for yourself, you will see.\n\nOnly those who deny Almighty God or turned their backs on Him are trying to dispprove Gods word.  Those who live the life can testify that the bible is truth.

People fear what they do not understand. also, half of these people go to someone who may interpret the bible as such. If a priest/bishop, whatever tells you that only Xtians are going to heaven, are you're one then you believe it. If they also say everyone else is going to burn in hell, then you feel better about yourself, and believe it, while putting the uknown factors down. Pagans are awesome, and don't worry if hell actually exists (which he out so much enphasis on, yet don't even know if its there) you're probably not going to go there anyway.

It's because they ate the forbidden fruit that we have death. But through Jesus and accepting Him as our savior, we once again have another chance at eternal life. IF you are lost and living without Christ, Invite Jesus into your heart and life today.\nJohn 3:16.-18\n\n16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n \n \n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\n \n18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Those who say that there are no absolutes are often very adamant about their belief. If they say that they are absolutely sure, then they are wrong because their own statement is an absolute. If they are not 100 percent sure, then there is a chance that they are wrong and they are risking their eternal salvation by trusting in a wrong belief. God tells us that there is an objective, absolute truth that is not subject to man’s interpretations or whims, on which we can base our eternity. That truth is the Word of God (John 17:7).
