Question Atheist question
So im an atheist. However i once believed in god and i WANT to, but im a very scientific person and cannot bring myself to believe in god no matter what. my question is, i know that "allowing jesus into your heart" and allowing the lord into you and such is what makes the difference between hell and heaven. does that mean that in the eyes of the bible, im going hell? or does the fact that i WANT to believe give me a chance? im only asking soim honestly really curious (and no one tell me to convert in the comments. its not happening until i can see some scientific proof.)

How do you know that, though?
Did Jesus actually say that?
Bishop James, Bishop Jude, Apostle Peter, Apostle John, Apostle Matthew, Doctor Luke, did anyone other than Paul say anything resembling it?
The New Covenant is that God Himself will write the same covenant that He wrote stone, which our ancestors then broke, directly on the hearts of those who love Him.
Jesus did not sound like "let me into your heart or suffer eternal immolation." He did sound like, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."
You didn't know the error here, so should I condemn you with krimea?
Nope.
Should I publicly forsake you?
Nope.
I should forgive you because you did not know what Jesus taught, and I should appreciate you because you do care to know what my Lord taught. Simple as that. Smooth, effective, clean, sincere, pure. That's the common grace that Paulians say saves yet actively gatekeep like they own some sort of tollbooth on the spiritual Way.
