i think jesus saying forgive them father for they do not know what they are doing is directed towards the people who were crucifying him. at least thats how i've taken it. jesus also said that the only way to get to heaven was through him. that being said i think that if you truly believe what christ has done than he's reserved a spot in heaven. as far as admiting our sins, i think that as a believer christ, you admit that you are sinful in general. not really admiting every sin to god in order to be forgivin, although i think its part of having a relationship with god. as far as hell, fire is only what society/media/dante/whatever leads us to believe. i assume because it seems brutal and strikes fear in people. the way i've come to view hell as is not being with God for eternity. definitely doesn't sound as brutal, but i think when we're talking about eternity... that's a long time.
the part of god loving everyone and being ok with sending people to hell has always struck me wrong too.
i'm talking from knowledge of the bible and from many convos. i'm not even sure how i stand on a lot of things. especially because i think that having so many different beliefs is good for society.
i dont know, thats a bit lenghty i suppose. we should talk about this stuff sometime though. we have some good talks.
