Are you saying God condemns them all to Hell.

No, we are already condemned because we have broken His law. Try this on for size. The Bible says that we are born in iniquity, and are sinful from conception. According to Romans 5:12, we die because of Adam's sin, and we are also condemned because of it (5:18). Thus, Adam condemned us, and we will all likewise perish, for all have sinned and fall short of God's glory, and the wages of that sin is death. However, God, in his mercy and love towards us, provided a way out, the death of his Son, Jesus. Thus, Romans 8:1 says that is we are in Christ, there is no condemnation.

That said, I want to convince you, but I won't try. You musts make up your own mind as to the veracity of the New Testament. Is it true of false?

Your argument is like refusing to believe the polio vaccination will keep the disease from debilitating a person. How is that fair? What about all of those who had polio before the vaccination was invented? What about those who don't have access to it now? I refuse to take it myself, then, based on the unfairness of the inventions timing, and the inability to distribute it universaly! Hah!
