Message

I represent a hearer a few years on from the young person in the book who is still grappling with this and learns from evangalising to friends, family, anyone! This book is excellent in that it dares to approach this chilling question. However I have a fundamental question for the author. He says 'Every person who is not a real Christian is in great danger, lost and hell bound'. There is no 'back door'. Obviously Christ is the only gate to heaven. Christ is surely the only possible way. However what did Christ mean when He said 'Forgive them Father for they don't know what they are doing'?. Who was He refering to? Was it just the pharisees? OR Those that shouted "Christ crucified!"? OR Those that persecute Christs Church now? We are after all Christs body, one with Christ - Do Those that persecute Christs Church now 'not know what they are doing?' Can anyone help my questions?
