If Jesus is only a man, and not God as most Christians believe, then that changes everything we have ever thought about existence. If Jesus was not God and was only a man like you or me, then everything that applied to Jesus applies to us also:

Christians believe there is an actual place called Hell and that’s where only unbelievers go — for eternity! However, Believers also may go to the same place as unbelievers, according to Jesus. The following verse is an example of just that:

The lord of that servant (a believer) will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. (Lk 12:46)
