if god is all knowing and the most intelligant person in the universe than wouldn't he be able to understand that some people don't believe in him? if a person lived a good life and was a good person would that person be sent to hell just for not believing in him? i'm sure god has to be more mature than that.

Living a good life does not qualify you to enter heaven. It's the acceptance of Jesus as Savior that redeems you from the curse of hell and death.
You don't have to believe in Him; He's 'mature' enough to accept that. His concern since the fall of man was that you didn't needlessly suffer for an eternity. He came to our aid with Jesus that He might save us from the consequence sin, so believing in Jesus as the Savior of our soul is a choice that we all have. It's the decision we make that keeps us out of heaven...not God. In His love for us He's done everything He can to provide us with a way to get there.

Hi. We all have a choice to make. For him or not. He gave that to each and everyone one of us. I'm not the person to say if God will send anyone to hell. I only know what the bible says and it's not by how good of a person you are, you have to believe in him. Maybe, this will help you find the answers your looking for. Refer to a bible

Yes, I believe that if you lived a good life and was a good person and did wonderful things for others all during your life, but you did not believe that God sent Jesus to be born of a virgin and to suffer and die for our sins that we would have everlasting life, etc. you would burn in a fire of eternal damnation (hell). God does care greatly for everyone on earth. He knew each of us before we were even born...he loves each of us greatly. I believe there are evil people in the world who have the spirit of satan in them. God has surely dismissed them, but for all others He is constantly yearning for them to believe in Him and to believe in His Son Jesus. If you have any desire or question that this might be true, it is God's Holy Spirit working in you wanting you to come to Him and be forgiven of your sins and have everlasting life!! Don't let the opportunity pass you by. I don't think there is too much time left before God will return to the earth and gather His people.

It is my truth that God does not care what we believe. The Creator gave us the wonderful gift of choice so we choose what to believe, how we conduct ourselves, how we wish to survive. There is no judgement of us. We can choose to live a good live or a bad one, it's entirely up to us. But don't look for any prize at the end of the game!

Well, the people that believe in god will tell you that it does matter if you believe in god or not when you die, but I believe that god would be nicer than that. However, I don't believe in god or the devil, so I say- be a good person, and that is all that matters.

I believe every person is given an opportunity to search for him and seek his word. It's called freewill. His judgements and eternal rewards are just. Good unbelievers will be sent to Hell even People who call themselves believers. God is looking for those who will worship him in Spirit and in Truth. God bless you. ((Hugs))

GOd is all knowing and He is smart enough to know that YOU know better but you choose to ignore Him and go your own way, It isn't a matter of sending you to hell because you make choices and then want to blame God because you made them. The bible says the wages of sin is death.

Yes God does care we believe in him and he does care we read the bible, go to church, do good things. Hes here for us and i think in return we should show the almighty we have respect for him, after all the things he did for us.
