Why is it that I must burn in hell?

Question

If I dont choose to worship god the way you want me to? Might as well you stick me up with a knife. Why does God have a choosen people? why should I read a book that is so racist and really meant for his CHOSEN people? Why should I abide by a book that encourages slavery? Where does the dinosaur fit in your creation story? Huh?? Someone give me an answer please!!!!!

well, as far as I see, the entire thing was written by Jews for Jews. Why did Paul write, urging slaves to be obedient to your masters...Women must be silent in the church....yeah right Mr. Paul!! You sound mighty oppressive to me

Answer 1

Don't listen to those so called "religious" people, or Christians, who say you're going to Hell. Just say "Judge not lest ye be judged" and ask "Where's that love thy neighbor and enemy crap you all talk about?" Really, they don't follow their own commandments!

Actually, according to religious beliefs and the Bible itself, IF we do burn in Hell for NOT being religious we'll be accompanied by MANY people. The Bible states that very few people will actually make it into Heaven. So, I'll expect to see you there! OH, and expect many of these so called "religious" people to burn there along with us. Because, really, if they're not living a life like Jesus did, full of LOVE for their friends, enemies and those who don't care, they really won't make it.

Answer 2

God wants you to worship Him, not just other people. That is the most important part. God isn't racist, He created everyone. It is never too late for you to come to The Lord. There will always be a place for you with Him. He already knows who will be with Him. If you just take some time, with an open heart and mind, and start reading the New Testament of the Bible, you just might discover something that you never have before. As far as dinosaurs, man's knowledge is God's foolishness. Don't read into all of the science and what they say about Him. God made the dinosaurs, and they have their place, too. You should start thinking of your life and your soul. It is worth more than just this lifetime. Do you think that this world is all you have been created for? That you just evolved from animals, or just became because your parents had sex? No, you are more than that. This life is just a test to see how you will live for eternity. And, personally, I would rather be in Heaven, than tormented in Hell forever just because I couldn't have faith in the one that created me.

Answer 3

Well, God does not have a "Chosen People", and He sent a book to all mankind called the Quran that tells us the Truth of how we can saves ourselves from the fire of hell--simply by believing in God, trusting Him, know that He loves us, and by helping others. The Quran is simply a continuation of the messages that God sent to mankind strarting with the first man Adam, then later with Moses, King David, Jesus, and the last Messenger Muhammad. And, yes, the Quran does explain evolution and how all creatures evolved all from water (a fact that most scientists today support).. The Quran will help you be the "best you" that you can be...But, if you choose not to follow the Quran, God says you will not automatically "burn in hell" as long as you do more good deeds than bad deeds by not hurting others, helping people, loving people, and forgiving people while you are alive--and at the very least, believe that Yes there Is a God.

Answer 4

Unfortunately too many people try to compartmentalize God. I am a Christian but I also believe that if anyone of any faith, or even nonbelievers can go to heaven if they lead exemplary/moral lives.

Many Christians don't take the Bible literally, The world wasn't made in 7 days. There was no defination of day and night until man came on this planet, which was a lot more recently than the planet has been around.....

Don't worry about those with small minds. Just be a good upstanding person and you will be just fine.

Answer 5

You never have to worry about such a thing because hell is only the grave. It is not a horrible place. Hell is temporary, for Jesus is going to resurrect those who are in hell. Revelation tells us that Jesus has the keys to hell, meaning he will open the graves of those who have fallen asleep in death to be reunited with their families and loved ones. [ Revelation 1:18 ]
Revelation 20:13,14 tells us also__" 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. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
We can see here that hell delivers up its dead and then they are judged. Hell and death are then destroyed forever. This will be a wonderful time--no more death and no more graves.
The Bible tells us that the dead cannot feel anything. " For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing--
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
This knowledge brings us closer to the God who gave us life if we know that he does not torture anyone. If someone burned or tortured someone close to you for a long time, how would you feel about that person? Would you respect them or want to be close to them? Satan loves it when the churches of Christendom make God out to be so terrible and sadistic. When the Bible tells us that God is love, that is what it means.

Answer 6

Whan you were little, your Mom probably told you not to put your hand on the hot stove because you would get burned. Imagine that when tell your siblings about not touching the stove, they don't understand why they shouldn't touch it. They could ask 'Why should I get burned just because I don't believe what my sister said?'

It's God who says that certain ways of living lead to death. If you choose to ignore him, you just get the results of your choice. It's not that God is looking to kill people he doesn't like. It's just that some things are fatal and he doesn't want you going there.

Answer 7

you have a lot of questions and opinions on the matter. rather than turn to a book, i suggest you turn to the best source... not the preacher, friend or any of us, but God. in the end thats who we deal with. i think between religions there are so many differences..for instance not everyone believes in hell, some say its ok to drink others dont, some say Jesus existed but he was just a man. millions can 'back' different beliefs and eveyone thinks they re right...but if someone imposes their belief on you and you follow them ... you are not following God, but following man. and face it man wrote the bible and it has been revised, altered and tampered with... in addition, many religions can use the same bible and interpret things differently... but you are responsible for your own salvation. id rather be wrong through my own conviction than wrong because i followed someone who thought they knew the answers and they were wrong. the only one i want to follow is God. thats why i leave my questions for God. And I worship as I please. I think your way to worship and how you choose to believe is your personal choice. its between you and God. so please do your own research (ask God).

Answer 8

If you don't go to Hell, then we might never meet. Don't worry, Hell is the new Heaven ... all the judgemental dorks are going to Heaven, which makes it Hell ... the kool cats go to Hell.

We're gonna have all-night concerts ... rock, blues, reggae, etc.

Open bar 24/7 ...basically it'll be like a Spring Break / Mardi Gras non-stop.

So don't fret ... just enjoy life.

Answer 9

If you are seeing this clearly on your own you are probably ready for a graduate course in reality and human relations.

I suggest that you get a book called the course in miracles. It somewhat exhaustively explains many of the ideas you are talking about in great detail.

It’s well worth the effort.

Love and blessings

Answer 10

To partially address your question, what I learned in church is that the dinosaurs were around the same time as Adam & Eve, but were wiped out during the flood in Noah's day. That was according to my church overseer...

sorry I don't have more for you.
