You Will Go To Hell!!!!!!!!?

Question

Where did that come from? I don't recall Jesus using that approach when He traveled and taught those who wanted to learn? I understand where the atheist or pagans or whoever come from when they are told that, I would be turned off if someone told me that! For christians to use that approach are just as immature as anyone who mocks and disrespects a person or their beliefs.

haha oh wow people do come from different points of views! and thats OK! Peace and love to yal : D

Jesus is love: Would you like it if someone pushed their beliefs on you using threatening words? No i don't think so, its about respect and if they don't want it then leave it be. I am just saying that Jesus didnt use that approach, instead He showed it since people need to see to believe it right?

Answer 1

I know I'm going to hell. I'm on the VIP list.

Answer 2

That attitude comes from what I call "Old Testament Christians".

Those are the ones that call themselves Christians but don't believe anything Jesus said. They'e still stuck in the old "eye for an eye" mode that Jesus was trying to replace.

Like the Senators who keep trying to put the 10 commandments up but never seem to have heard of the sermon on the mount.

Answer 3

It is our poor buddy and Jesus' cousin John The Bapitist that preached repentance or death. In fact Jesus recognized the validity of the approach for a certain portion of the population. At the same time you are correct that was not and is not Jesus' aproach. I do not remember anywhere in the bible the instruction to follow John only Jesus.

Answer 4

i agree, christians need to try to be more christ like. jesus approached sinners with kindness when no one else did and that is how he got thier attention and respect. the people he spoke with were curious about this man because he was different, he didn't approach them with a hateful attitude. once they became curious then he began to teach them , by example,the way they should live. christians should follow this example, instead of the"you will go to hell" approach christians should have a loving attitude towards people, then once people become curious as to why these christians are nice to them, then through prayer , reading the bible and following the good example of other christians they will begin to change their sinful behavour. no one knows what is in your heart and only god can judge.

Answer 5

There is no fiery burning hell; that's a manmade idea, not Almighty God's.

The long-taught idea of “hell” or “inferno” depends upon the doctrine of a human soul being something separate and distinct from the human body that cannot die; spiritual and invisible, something that we cannot feel with our sense of touch. Common sense tells us if that were so, the pain of fire could not be felt, as fire is an earthly element requiring the physical body to sense. Also, the Bible is very clear in stating that the soul is subject to death, saying: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4, 20)

Pagan religions are noted for teaching red-hot hells. The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Persians, Grecians and Hindus taught flaming hells. The Buddhists teach a hell wherein people cook and sizzle in blazing kettles. Is the Bible hell as hot as the pagans paint theirs? Here is the answer.

Hell corresponds to the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades. It also says that hell comes from the English word helan, meaning “to conceal.” So the early meaning of the word “hell” carried no thought of any kind of heat. It merely meant “concealed.” We have found, too, that the original Hebrew word, usually translated “hell” in English Bibles, is Sheol. Now what does Sheol mean? It simply means “a hollow place.” So the original Hebrew word perfectly corresponds with the original or early meaning of the English word “hell.”

The vital question is, Did the inspired Hebrew Bible writers say that conscious life and red-hot activity exist in Sheol or hell? No, quite the opposite! Instead of blazing fire it is described as a “land of darkness.” (Job 10:21) Instead of a place of soul-chilling shrieks it is described as a place of “silence.” (Ps. 115:17) The Catholic Douay Bible, at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, says: “The living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more. Neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge, shall be in hell [Sheol, AS], whither thou art hastening.” So, since the “dead know nothing more,” or as the King James Version says, “the dead know not any thing,” it would be impossible for them to know conscious torment. And since there is no work in hell, how can there be activity, red-hot or otherwise?

Answer 6

Sweet, kind, loving Jesus had this to say:

"I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3 and 5)

And

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

And

"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33)

Just something to chew on.

Answer 7

While that is not the approach I would use....I think that you may have made Jesus into some sissy kind of savior. He surely did not mince words with people. If he was so nice and kind and soft---he wouldn't have been killed.

Answer 8

No I won't. I live a good honest life and just get on with it.

You seek to dictate and threaten - very unchristian - if God does exist you will have a lot to answer for, for your unchristian views and probably be the one with very hot feet!!!

Answer 9

Boy if you are a Christian, you sure have a funny way of supporting your faith. With a Christian like you who needs unbelievers. Please read the bible, no one is like Christ, we are all sinners, we are not perfect. What are you doing to turn people to Christ. The bible said we are the light of the world, and let your light shine for others to follow..

Answer 10

Thank you so much for that. An educated and thoughtful response from a christian, if I may presume.....

My brother in law refuses to let his kids go to church because he says it is an organization that claims his babies are going to hell. It is easy to see his side when you see so much hypocrisy in religion

Answer 11

I think religion is hypocritical and used as a cover up for evil. I live with high morals and ethics and will never do wrong to another, I am true and honest though religion can kiss my ****!
