Why would Any one want to go to Hell after Jesus piad sin's price on the cross?

Question

I regret seeing a lot of the reponses, I'm sorry most of ya'll feel that way.
To some of the one's who responded, i have only to say that there is only one Hell, and that it's not aplace of fun and games, but of everlasting burnings in darkness where there shall be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. the Bible says, "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God."

To Naru S.: the Bible also says that some (people) are saved through fear, pulling them out of fire, and others in compassion, making the difference. They need to know the truth about who they are and where they're going

To Joa5: The Christians aren't the ones who burnt people at the stake, the Catholics are, There is a difference, a big one at that!

to Kithy: IF there was a three-headed dog in Hell, ain't no one gonna' bother throwing sticks @ it, There will be more to worry about, if you know what I mean

Answer 1

i dont know, thats pretty sad, though

Answer 2

There will always be those that choose not to believe. First, to defend Chrsitianity, I am sure many people have run into bad expierances. Perhaps someone pointed the finger and said "you vile sinner," or "you're going to Hell." Let me point out that this is not Christian behavior. We are to disapprove sin, but we are also to be compassionate and kind to the sinner. We are to listen, and be kind to those struggling. Pointing fingers and being cruel is definatly not something you should do.

Onto your question, many don't believe in Christianity. Others don't want to give up whatever lifestyle they are living.

PS: I have no intention of "burning at the stake" as someone so put it someone who does not believe the same way I do. I will be saddened, but ultimately that person chooses what they do with their life. I can talk to them, befriend them, and pray for them. But I would never use scare tactics or finger pointing to witness.

If you don't understand this basic principle, you need to open your Bible and study. That would be much better than someone trying to explain it to you. The Book of Romans is a good place to start.

Jesus loves you and died for your sins but to get that Redemption you have to acknowledge you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died on the cross as a substitute for you, and that He rose again, confess this belief to others, then turn from your sin (repent) and follow His teachings. This is the "plan of salvation". A lot of people are hard-hearted, stubborn, and prideful and don't want to admit that God even exists.

God bless you

Answer 4

Are you asking why more people aren't Christian? It's because there are 6 billion people on this planet who have different ideas and different agendas than you. All I can say is learn to accept it and respect others' decisions.

The last time Christians wanted everyone to believe what they did, people were hung or burned at the steak by the church.

Answer 5

Do you mean Hades? I've always wanted to go. That 3-headed dog guarding the entrance sounds like he'd be fun to mess with. Throw 3 sticks in 3 different directions. hehe

Answer 6

You confused. When you go to car dealer there are 2 option. Buy or Lease.
God leases you the sins. Its temporary. He does nto seel them to you.
Jesus died so he can get nack all the sins. But he does leaves something to remember. The punishment.
You got what you paid for it. He forgives the sins but leaves the punishment. Cute.

Therefore GOD exists

Answer 7

No one wants to go to hell. Sin is an aramaic term meaning "miss" -- it's an archery term.
To sin from a theological standpoint actually involves 3 things to be considered as such:
1. Malicious
2. Done with full knowledge of it's effects
3. Intentional

That being said there are a lot of things that ae simply a result of being "imperfect" which we are and are meant to be. Being imperfect, means that we learn, not just about our mistakes, but we learn about our limits and ourselves as individuals and human beings, our weaknesses and our strengths and what we must work on.

Jesus' death on the cross is considered to be the Ultimate sacrifice - because he died without a fight - "Forgive them for they know not what they do."
Jesus forgave those who killed him. Those people did not realize because they prevented themselves from believing in the possiblility of Jesus divinity.

Jesus' retaliation or any act of war against them is non-divine, and Jesus had t die as a result. Even his mother, whom Catholics believed is born -conceived without the stain of original sin- did not harbour the ability to be angered. She could not retaliate or hate those who killed her son, and therefore suffered as a mother as well. (this is the reason she is revered, because of her total obedience to God, - when she said yes - it was for life- an exaple that christians in general would do well to follow)

People are small, individual and weak without other's. They can only fathom so much alone, but in great numbers can to great good or great harm. We are limited by what we are and most people have struggles that keep their attention away from morality or immorality. Many are too busy with their lives, surviving, working, struggling. There really are few who seriously take these particular thoughts into account, but there are many many people who try to do the right thing.

Remember He said "I am the Truth, the Way and the Light."
Those who have never heard of god, but do their best to be the best human being they can, the best mother, father, son or daughter, do God's will by sheer freedom of will, by their conscience. So they do God's will nonethless-- only throught me (the truth, way and light -- which are nterchangeable) can one enter the kingdom of heaven.

There are people who are not Christian, but live better Christian lives than other Christians. It is a fact of life. There are good people and bad people, there are people who do their best, and there are those who don't care. Being a believer doesn't automatically make someone a good person.

Only God knows what goes on in the heart of man, therefore He is the Judge. Only He can say for sure where someone will go in the end. And we do not have the right to judge others based on our own limited observation, no matter how well we think we know someone. If we judge, we put ourselves in His place and act as god, meaning we use his name in our Vain and we replace him with our ego. But remember, You shall have no other god's besides me -- (this doesn't mean that there are gods per se, but that if you put, ego, money, power, personal gain, AHEAD of your trust / faith in God (or for those who don't believe in a higher power TRUTH which is NEVER contradictory except in semantics) you lose...it's anautomatic sin.

Therefore, contrary to popular, unfounded belief , a girl who has an abortion, let's say, is not necessarily responsible for the sin killing of a life, especially if she was coerced, did it in fear and was not fully intent, or really did not know the impact it would have on her life. Sure it is never a good thing to kill something off, but only God has the ability to have experienced suffering through her to know what she has been through.

So we do not have the right to judge or anticipate someone's descent into hell. Othr wise we do sin, in such a way that it hurts others' capacity to be a whole, happy, spiritual human.

Even Yoda in star vwars e.3 realized that it was his lack of compassion, and the Jedi's rigid codes that pushed Anakin to confide in someone else -- Palpatine, the devil.

Answer 8

He actually took out a loan for sin's price. I don't think he realized how much it actually cost. I mean, God doesn't give him that much of an allowance, and Jesus has other things he likes to spend his money on, like iPods and running shoes. I think that he'll have it paid off in a few thousand years, though.

Answer 9

I don't know anyone that says to themselves "Gee... here I have this perfect chance to go to heaven, but I think I'd rather suffer for all of eternity instead."

Some of us simply don't, or can't, believe the way you do.

Answer 10

People believe different things. That's why God gave us FREE WILL.

Answer 11

Some people would do anything to avoid those who call themselves Christian. There is no doubt that Jesus is amazing, but His people can be less than stellar.
