>>To think otherwise is to believe that we don't need Jesus to have eternal life which goes completely against scripture.<<

No, it doesn't go against scripture. We have eternal "life" with Christ. They go to eternal torment/punishment. Atheists believe that life simply ends and their is nothing after this life on earth. They take your words and live it up now because they don't care to live eternally with God and have no fear of anything after they leave this life. Satan loves the "no eternal punishment" crowd.

Satan loves the "You can have eternal life without Christ crowd" more. Besides disagreeing with scripture it gives rise to all kinds of heresy. Reincarnation for example.

But the worst thing about it is that it takes away our freewill. It supposes that God creates us immortal and that our default position is to burn forever. Thank God that the God of scripture creates us mortal so that we're given the choice of life or death....death or life everlasting through Christ:

Deu 30:19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

The choice has always been the same...life or death. Not life or life.
