Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross. He offers us the free gift of salvation. There are many who will not accept that free gift for a variety of reasons (which are mostly pride-related).
These are the people who will go to hell. There is no degree of sin. When the cashier gives you a penny too much and you keep it, that is just as sinful to God as the person who shot up the theater in Colorado.
But, prideful people will refuse to see sin as God does. They will insist that they know better.
Jesus cleansed us of the original sin and gave us an opportunity to go to heaven if we live the right way. He basically reset everything and now we aren't persecuted for something that happened in the past. So he cleared the slate and we are now in control of whether we go to heaven or not.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
