Answer 2

Hell was made for the devil. God does not want anyone to go there. He did not want it so much that He sent his Son, Jesus to die to keep them from going to Hell. There are only two sides, Gods and the Devil. The Devil and his side are going to hell. Jesus is preparing a mansion in heaven for His side. Every person is allowed to choose what side he is going to be on, but if they don't choose God, it will be the devil by forfeiture. God Is Love. The devil is evil personified. He is a deceiver who will promise you every joy in life, but when you accept it, you find it is not joy, but the grave. I am praying you will choose the side I did, as I am happy and secure in the love of God. You'll never regret choosing God, but the other choice, you will regret eternally.

Answer 3

The self-righteous, like Zachary C, are probably going to hell. Believing in Jesus is one thing, but part of being a Christian is having humility and showing love for mankind.

Answer 4

So, even if a person is Christian and is an awful, cruel human being and a non-Christian is the kindest, most thoughtful being on Earth, the first one will go to heaven and the latter will go to Hell? That is unjust. If that is the way things work, then I am proud not to be Christian.

Answer 5

the bible says ".............that whosoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life" .Read, "john 3:16" in the bible. If u don't believe in the of Jesus and accept Him into ur heart, you're as bad as the worst sinner that ever lived because you are still going to hell. so the only way of escaping hell is by coming before the feet of Jesus Christ. pls when u read this message, send me ur email, mine is [e-mail]

Answer 6

Heaven and hell is in your mind only. These concepts are not as simple as many religions say about them. Remember thousands of years back people had trouble understanding complex ideas. They needed something comparable in this life for them to compare after life. So nobody is going to go to hell. Some people are so mentally deranged that they think people belonging to their religion will go to heaven. God is not a tyrant. God is very forgving and loving. You and I both are going to heaven. I will say Hello to you over there.

Answer 7

No one goes to hell. There is no hell. This is a legendary place, invented to scare superstitious and silly people. The religious leaders try to get more and more followers by promisses of reward (heaven), and threaten to everlasting punishment (hell). And these strategies work very well.

Answer 8

I think that anyone that strives to be a good person and do good deeds and trys to rectify any misdeeds he dose to his fellow man and strives to develop a personal relationship with the Creator will have little to worry about when he dies.

for almost all others they will receive another chance or a way out.

only those that are truly evil and have corrupted there souls will not see salvation

Answer 9

Only those people that believe in heaven and hell. Religious people from past and present have always scared the masses with thier idea of heaven and hell. tsk tsk...
For me, there is no heaven or hell so no one goes to either one.

Answer 10

You answered your own question, You will go to Hell if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
