Does everyone who's not a Christian go to Hell?

Question

I can't believe that 700 million Hindus are all going to hell, they've got some pretty good rules too! What about Bhudists? they seem ok, and some of them act more "Christian" then those who claim to be. I kind of believe Muslim's are though, 1000 girls and all of them virgins! sounds like hell to me.
So is there a different heaven for everybody? seems pretty unfair to send someone to hell just because they speak a different language.

Answer 1

NO! every religion has thoughts about afterlife or re-incarnation or somewhere they will go after they die. vikings had valhala, eskimo's sent thier dead out on burning kayaks. even ancient egyptians used to put thier most prescious belongings in tombs to be enjoyed in the afterlife. just because ideas differ it does not mean that the philosophy is restricted to christians.

Answer 2

I know there is a Heaven and a Hell where there's one u have the other. I am a Christian since birth was raised in church and have had alot of personal experiences in my life with both family and friends sharing God's word. I know he exist and love's us all and u have a choice that he give's us all from birth that is a will. You can live in his will and way for the path he has chosen for you and you can also live the one you choose. But this can b a very deep subject and go on for ever. I do believe that other beliefs and practices are also good and many of us other than just Christians will go on to Heaven as long as u believe in God and that he died for our sins so we can b saved and try to b a good living soul and help others and yourself along the way. He does love us all and it's hard to say who goes and who stay's only he knows that but it does'nt hurt for u to pray or just talk to him and let him into your heart. He is there for u. God Bless and take care

Answer 3

Hi,

I am a Christian and I believe that hell is a very real place. I believe that there is only one God, who is the God written about in the Bible. The one who created the universe, our beautiful world that we live in, the air that we breathe, all living creatures, and of course, mankind. All of these things didn't just come about by mistake or chance. There is too much beauty and awe to deny God's awesome creation. Just think of the human body and how the heart beats on it's own. Or look at a flower. I also believe that God loves all that He created and that He gave all human beings their own free will to honor Him and accept Him or to deny Him. We are not forced to accept Him, He wanted us to choose freely. But, so many people seem to expect God to give all humankind eternal life, regardless of how they feel about Him, whether they deny Him or reject Him or not. A very nice person who does a lot of good things can still reject God, can still curse His name, can still say, "I don't believe in God" or "I believe there is a God, but not the God of the Bible." Why would God want someone who denies Him or hates Him or goes through life knowing He exists, but does not honor Him or accept Him as his/her savior. God sent His son, Jesus to sacrifice himself on the cross, the perfect sacrifice, no longer was a lamb or other animal needed. Jesus gave His life, so that we could have life. His bloodshed on the cross covers our sins and allows eternal life if we accept Him. This doesn't mean that once you become a Christian, you're this perfect being. Christians are still humans, we're still going to sin. The difference is, we're forgiven and we should do our best not to sin. So is it unfair that God who made all doesn't allow those who refuse Him into Heaven, but allows them to enter Hell? I believe that God wants more than anything for all to accept Him and love Him, but He is not forceful. We all have a choice to make, the most important choice of all. No other decision compares.

Answer 4

I had the same question when I was young. I personally believe that there is no "Hell". That is/was something thought up by man, to bring urgency to the word of God. We all pass from this world to the Spirit World when it is our time, no matter what our beliefs are based on. Some are lost in their misdeeds, and must sort them out before returning to common society in the Spirit World, but it is a temporary place, and more based on ones own guilt. But, there are others there who will help you get through the darkness.

Answer 5

A person who rejects Christ as Savior will go to Hell.

Jesus came to save everyone from every single Race and he also told us to preach in every single tongue.

Today we have Missionary programs in Asia where Tribes people who are Christian go about bringing the word of God to those who are willing to listen.

Some who have discovered Jesus for the 1st time have wished others in their Family had gotten to hear of Jesus.

By the way the Hindus have a caste system and Higher caste is not allowed to marry Lower caste at all in a lot of cases, but when persons from both castes before Christian, then it no longer matters what caste one was born into.

Answer 6

Those who don't accept the Messiah will not go anywhere. They will simply loose their body, and not recieve a new one. Those who do accept the Messiah will receive new bodies.

The issue here is that the soul is the part of God that God gave to Adam when He gave him breath. The soul cannot die. But we are creatures of flesh. A soul without a body is a soul that lives forever, but cannot hear, see, taste, feel .... anything .. forever. That is why Legion wanted the Messiah to put them into the heard of pigs. They wanted to continue to have a body, no matter what kind.

They are right when they say that hell does not exhist. That's the problem. Hell is nowhere. Going to hell is going to nothing .. forever.

Answer 7

christians think that they are the only true religion based on a mythical person ,they like to think that they are special ,i believe in god and i would hate to think what he is thinking about them being the hypocrites that they are,if you try to do the right thing then up you go,if not its down for you,ps by the way all you christians jesus had no intention of creating a new religion ,he was a rabbi and wanted for people to go back to the proper way of judaism,it was the romans who created christianity in its present form as it suited their purposes and christians are resposible for more death and sin than all the other religions put together,so who's going to hell now "eh"

Answer 8

Yeah I thought that to. I asked on here would a good kind hearted non believer who was sorry for all his sin's would go to hell if they haven't accepted Jesus as they're savior and apparently they still would. It doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 9

hell is a pretty widespread belief among christians. but my neighbor is jehovas witness, and they don't believe in hell. they make some excellent points as to why, based on scripture. i'm not sure, now, that i believe in it. i never have liked the concept.

Answer 10

The real question is...do you think that your fav. dog or cat (ok maybe hamster or something like that) from childhood is in hell after it died because it couldnt claim a certain religion or pray to a particular god because they only meow or bark?
