Faith is based upon knowledge. We cannot just make-up whatever kind of Jesus we think would be nice and then believe in that made-up Jesus. When we believe in Jesus, we abide in his doctrine and in his message. If Jesus taught that there is eternal judgment of the sinner, and we say, "I don't believe that," then we really don't believe in Jesus. We can't believe in Jesus and not believe in the teaching of Jesus. Peace be with you.
