God created us all sinners, only two men were created without sin, Adam and Jesus Christ. Through one man, Adam, we all fell, and through another man, Jesus Christ, we all can be saved.

God made you a sinner, which you have no control over, therefore he is offering you a salvation that is free, just to believe that God's son, Jesus Christ, has paid the price for your sins (past, present, and Future sins).

Just realize that you are a sinner, and that you need a savior. And that you believe upon Jesus Christ as your savior.

And that's it, sin is no longer the issue in your life. Now if you want to go on sinning, that your prerogative, it not the issue in your spiritual life. God knows that you are going to sin, so be it.

The bible says after you have been saved, "If you, name and site your sins (to God), then God the Holy Spirit is faithful enough to forgive all your sin and cleanse you of unrighteousness."

Before salvation God will treats you as Judge, after salvation God treats you like a father would to his own children. And he won't send his own children to the lake of fire and brimstone.

God created all of us. Homosexuality is a perfected blend of the masculine and feminine. Most artists and dancers are gay. There is a connection between art and gayness. Look at the briliance of Andy Warhol. He was the most influential artist in the late twentieth century. Or what about Freddy Mercury? I absolutely believe he is in heaven where he belongs. Too bad about his tragic death. He followed a mixture of Christianity and Zoroastrianism, I believe. Very wise man. All of us are equal and Christianity has been misused to persecute Muslims, people with epilepsy and schizophrenia, illegitimate children, the poor, African-Americans, and so on. As for street people and sinners, I believe God is merciful, compassionate, disciplined and just. He favours self-reliance, stoicism and individual effort. He doesn't judge, hate and outrightly punish. That isn't HIS kind and forgiving and helpful nature

I don't believe in Hell as a punishment place that exists somewhere 'down below'. I think Hell is what some people experience in their day to day lives, due to situations they have created themselves. Heaven is when those same people realize how to find peace and love while they exist in this place.

In other words, Heaven and Hell are both right here, right now. The one you experience is based on what you expect to see, your own perceptions of your reality.

2 people can witness the exact same event, yet each one will take a totally different experience away from that event. One person may have perceived it as a wonderful thing, while the other person perceived it as a horrible thing. The event itself was the same, the difference was the perspective of the two that witnessed it.

Heaven or Hell, is of our own creation, based on our choices and perceptions. Choose wisely!

There is an old Native American story that goes something like this:

Grandfather tells his grandfather that 2 wolves lives inside of each man. One wolf represents love, kindness, joy, peace, understanding, tolerance and so on. The other wolf represents fear, distrust, anger, hate, judgment, and so on. The grandson asks his grandfather which wolf will survive/win. The grandfather replies, "the one you feed".

OOPs, I seem to have gotten a bit off the question.

To answer your question: NO, I don't think God sends anyone to Hell. People right here on earth do a wonderful job of creating Hell for themselves. God IS unconditional Love (I believe). The emphasis being on "unconditional". God does not need to punish us. God patiently waits for us to wake up and remember Who we really are, and to treat each other accordingly.

Many cite this verse to suggest that individuals in the categories you mention will be punished by not being able to enter the kingdom of heaven (which is slightly different than being sent to Hell):

Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Another way this verse might be viewed is to see it not as a list of criteria for who will be excluded, but rather to point out the types of lifestyles that are not part of life in the spirit realm. Spirit beings do not have sex, so there won't be any of that sort of thing going on -- and given our transformation to spirit composition, we are no longer tempted or feel the need to lie and steal or drink our stress and trouble away...the verse may be telling us more about the freedom from the pull of earthly desires than it is a list of who to condemn.

Another way to look at the verse, if the above doesn't feel right to you, is to understand that we all fit into the above list in one way or another. Most of us have lied in one way or another, we have stolen (and there are many ways that stealing can happen besides lifting someone else's property, we commit llust and covetousness (and live under the burden of credit card debt from all that we covet and feel we need) and ---well, the sexual sins--perhaps they are not so much an issue about physical acts but more about faithfulness in relationships with one another.

So, there are ways to look at this verse that do not point fingers at others so much as cause us to look inside ourselves.

that's an exceedingly huge reason that I grew to become an atheist. A god who forces human beings into existence even whilst he's conscious before everything of time that they are doomed to hell is a Cosmic Psychopath who merits to burn in his very own hell. And the reality that some insecure non secular nut is going to offer this a thumbs down ability i could desire to be so lots greater vicious in renouncing Christianity interior the destiny.

if you actually pick up the bible and read it, it tells us not to judge those who have b not been born again but those who have. If you see a brother or sister in christ doing something wrong then yu should tell them and they should be able to handle it and pray like you should if someone told you something that you needed to work on. When you get saved you dont have stuff that is YOUR business anymore. You should have nothing to hide. No you can not keep on sinning. Read 1st John chapter 3 "If any many sinnith then the Father is not in him." If you think your a born again christian and and you sin every day your not sanctified. The Bible clearly teaches sanctifiction.

That is what the Bible says. In Revelation 21:27 it says this:(now this takes into account all of the things up above.)

"And there shall in no wise enter into it (the holy city/heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

Let me clarify this though. God will not send anyone anywhere unless it is what they want. The choice of each individual person will determine where a person goes. God will honor the wishes of that person. In other words we will send ourselves there, not God.

No - I don't think God has room in heaven for people who judge other people and think they have the right to say who should be allowed to have everlasting life. In my opinion it is a very serious sin to judge others. Only God can judge us. What he wants from all of us more than anything is to love one another as a brother or sister and to treat others as we would like to be treated. He asks that of us continuously throughout the Bible. It sure doesn't sound too difficult does it, I wonder why it is for so many?!

NO THAT ISN'T WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ONLY MEN TEACH THAT. FOR THERE IS A FIRST RESURRECTION FOR THOSE WHO OBEY GOD NOW AND A SECOND RESURRECTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE. IN THE SECOND RESURRECTION THEY WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO OBEY GOD WITH JESUS ON THIS EARTH.:
Re 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years
THE SECOND RESURRECTION
Re 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Re 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Re 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
IF PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT HARD HEADED THEY WILL HAVE THIS CHANCE TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND LIVE OR BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BE NO MORE. OR NONEXISTENT.

No not every sinner. God is a very loving, and understandable being. Putting us into hell is the last thing he wants to do, but he would if he thinks it's necessary.
