First of all, there are many different views within Christianity on this issue. It's sad that some people feel their answer is the absolute right one and that there cannot be different details. The fact is, we do not know and can not know what happens when we die and to claim that we do absolutely is to be absent of the necessary humility that I suspect one needs to be with God. Excepting Jesus is great, but even that isn't cut and dry. I understand what you're saying by choice of heaven or hell, and I agree completely. However, I think there are many different ways to accept Jesus, even if you don't accept Him by name. There are many faces of Christ and the sooner people figure that out the sooner they'll start to realize that they aren't God. We need to let God be God. There are better ways to preach than to impose. I fear this is kind of a dangerous method to take.

Amen. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and took our sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 4: 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Reject what He did for you and He did it all and there is only one place you have chosen to go and that is to hell. Believe what He did for you and you will spend eternity in the heavens with Him. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The overwhelming majority of the responsibility of God's effective communication with mankind is God's. There are messages I consider important enough to deliver in person rather than by mail, and the message of salvation is so very important that for God to deliver it by a means other than direct revelation to every human being seems inexcusably irresponsible.

This is a down right lie! I guess you never read Romans 9:21 - 23
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Clearly God created some souls to go to heaven and some to go to hell. That's just the type of guy he is. REALLY LOVING! YEA RIGHT!

Suzi friend, from one Christian to another:
Hell is not the way to talk to people who don't understand Christianity. All it does is scare them away from understanding. There is not a non-believer out there who will spend the time to talk to you about hell. Its frightening to people that don't understand.
If you want to help a non-believer don't talk to them about God. Ask them how they are doing, or how you can help them. Just talk to them. If God wants you to talk to them about God, he will find a way in their answer to your question.
And sometimes, as a Christian, we are not ready to talk to others about God. As our faith is not strong enough. Ask Him to prepare you for such an undertaking and to tell you when you are ready. Often our job is to help others by just walking in faith alone. People see who you are, you don't need to show them.
Also, just because you die and go to hell, doesn't mean your staying there. In the end times, even the people in hell will get a second chance because God is that fair. You can read it in Revelation. You gotta keep your eyes open though. As it is hard to find and understand.

Then could I know why you are praising Jesus. You should praise who sent Jesus to earth.

BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH,....Why are you spreading your dogma to people that don't believe or care about it?...The people that DO believe already think the way you do and the rest just think you are preachy and with out substance. I don't go on here and try to convert people to paganism, I have more respect for my beliefs than to try and throw my sacred ways in front of people that ARE NOT INTERESTED!!!! Think about it!
