First, it's a bad idea to base eternal destinations on feelings or what we want. Either you believe God (what is written in the Bible) or you don't. Second, as Jesus told us, there is none that are "good" except God. Now believing that there are many, many people who will be damned because they reject Christ, or fail to place their trust in him, is not politically correct these days. But truth is not P.C. these days.

You are jumping to conclusions Iowegian, I base nothing on feelings, but sometimes those feelings, years down the road turn out to be right when others start seeing it and talking about it, then it becomes more acceptable.

For an example, the first time I remember reading Mark 16:9 through 20, I knew something was wrong with it, but had no idea what until years later when I read that these verses were not found in the older manuscripts, and no one knew who wrote them, typical interpolation as was Ignatius and the 7 short epistles of his which were also interpolated.

This was just a feeling that turned out to have validity.

I hope this explains it a little better, but thanks for your concern, and never fail to tell me if you think I am going to far on a matter like this. JH

I base nothing on feelings.

Glad to hear that. But remember, you were the one that mentioned it was just a feeling.

First, what was wrong with them. And Second, were did you hear that they are not in older manuscripts?

The term you're needing to apply here is 'conviction.' It usually is expressed as a gut feeling.
