IWill I go to hell?

Question

If I create the cure to AIDS, or Cancer, or do some other amazing humanitarian act to save thousands of lives, but dont believe in God, will I still go to hell?

Answer 1

Yes you will along with everybody else, including Christians. All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church. Look at below website for many other anti-church / pro-God topics.

Answer 2

I don't believe that if there was a god he/she/it would want to send people to "hell." I think that hell was the invention of the roman catholic church to control people and to bring in profit, and it is a blatant exaggeration of the biblical story.

If you cure cancer or aids you will help a lot of people, and I wouldn't worry about the whole hell thing. Just have a good time while you're alive- no one really knows what's up or out there, and don't let anyone else tell you any different.

The important thing is that in the end you leave more good than bad behind you.

Peace out.

Answer 3

That is a really good question.
I do not think anyone could create a cure for AIDS without God being in the picture somewhere.
Great inventions, great cures, are all related to an unknown force we think of as God.
I think the godless person that manages to accomplish great things will realize after-the-fact that it could not be acheived without divine intervention and would ultimately believe in God.

Answer 4

Well since I do not belive in the god/hell stuff, I would have to say no, your not going to hell. Now if the god people are right, and the bible is right, then yes. No matter how much good you do in the world, how many lives you save, poor people you feed, your going to hell if you do not belive in god.

Answer 5

For god sake!!! The hell and heaven does not exist, I can't believe the ignorance that the church teach to many people, the hell and heaven are on real earth, if you behave badly, you know it's wrong and you will pay for it here on earth! The hell and heaven is just some place the church invented to control people's desitions, to have the power, and control minds... Don't believe that crap....

even if there was no g-d what will you do the rest of your life? but i am going to answer you. every little detail and newaunce has a purpose. right now your mind is teling your diaphram to open and close, to breath, to pump your heart, etc..., every single milisecond.how can you not say theres a g-d. if your going to do all these wonderful things and say there is no g-d then you have a lot of priorities to straighten out. how do you get sick? because a little tiny bacteria went in? it is not comprehensible to say theres no g-d to tell it to go there and to give everything a purpose.

Answer 7

No, you created a CURE. Although it SAVES people, which is good, God should not ban you to hell for saving people, you are doing something good, not bad, you will go to hell if you kill people, bad stuff is hell no good.

Answer 8

its not by what we do that gets us to heaven but a relationship with God through prayer and the Bible

FALSE~~~~~~
Every religion that believes in hell says that everyone that is not a member of their religion will go there. So chances are you're gonna fry for all eternity.

i believe that any 'religion' that belives in God and serves Him, will go to heaven

Answer 10

Going to heaven requires faith. We cannot achieve eternal life through our actions, but we all come up short of the standard that has been set for us - and that is perfection. If we are not perfect, we cannot achieve heaven. However, we do achieve that perfection by faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior, who died for the sins of all, that we can be reconciled to God.

Pretty simple, actually. And a good thing...

Answer 11

No, there is no heaven and there is no hell. You will go to the ovens or to a 6' deep hole in the ground just like the rest of us.
