If there is a hell, am I going there?

Question

I am a good person. I don't go to church.
I feel God and I feel connected to Him, but I don't read the bible very much anymore.

Answer 1

no of course not... Angels like u don't go to hell!

Answer 2

Good news! The hell that the churches teach, and the hell that the bible teaches are not the same!

The hell of the bible is the grave. The bible also says that the dead are asleep, "conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all."(Ecclesiastes 9:5)

Just don't believe in the nonsense that false religion teaches, namely that "hell" is some physical location that the wicked are sent to for an eternity of fiery torment. In reality, "hell" is simply the state of non-existance that everyone goes to when they die. It's not a physical location since some die at sea, some are buried in the earth, and so forth. It simply represents mankind's common grave. Jesus Christ can be said to have gone to "hell" for 3 days after his death, yet after that time was resurrected back to life by God.

So "hell" isn't what false religion purports it to be. If you die before the end of Satan's system comes, then you go to what "hell" actually is, mankind's common grave, to await a possible resurrection by God in his due time.....to life back here on earth.

Answer 4

I am not in the position to answer your question. It is God who will decides in the last day.

God has already outlined his law and statues. Since man can not be saved by good works and obedience to the law, he provided a way out through faith in Jesus Christ. The faith that saves is the faith with works. If you discontinue to read the most sacred book ever made, your missing a whole lot of promises to those who love him. Am too is not attending church, because of adultered teaching that finds it way in christian faith. But, I never necglect my duty to read his word. and obey them the best of my ability, as apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through christ who strenghten me"

We have learned from the highest written authority-the Bible-that at Jesus Christ's return He will resurrect those who have died in the faith and grant them the incredible gift of eternal life. Yet only those who "are IN Christ's" at His return will have a part in this resurrection.

We're told in 1Timothy 2:3-4 that "God our Savior ... desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." To accomplish this, God's plan must include another step we haven't yet discussed. We must consider the thousands of millions of people who have already died and never had the knowledge of the truth. Is it too late for them?

This brings us to a discussion of what may be the most amazing aspect of all in God's plan for life and death-what God has in store for the rest of the dead.

Live your life to the fulless, it is your choice that makes the difference, whether you would like to enter eternity or damnation.

Hell is a word used in the King James Version (as well as in the Catholic Douay Version and most older translations) to translate the Hebrew she´ohl´ and the Greek hai´des. In the King James Version the word “hell” is rendered from she´ohl´ 31 times and from hai´des 10 times. This version is not consistent, however, since she´ohl´ is also translated 31 times “grave” and 3 times “pit.” In the Douay Version she´ohl´ is rendered “hell” 64 times, “pit” once, and “death” once.Collier’s Encyclopedia (1986, Vol. 12, p. 28) says concerning “Hell”: “First it stands for the Hebrew Sheol of the Old Testament and the Greek Hades of the Septuagint and New Testament. Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word ‘hell,’ as understood today, is not a happy translation.”It is, in fact, because of the way that the word “hell” is understood today that it is such an unsatisfactory translation of these original Bible words. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, unabridged, under “Hell” says: “fr[om] . . . helan to conceal.” The word “hell” thus originally conveyed no thought of heat or torment but simply of a ‘covered over or concealed place.’ In the old English dialect the expression “helling potatoes” meant, not to roast them, but simply to place the potatoes in the ground or in a cellar.
The meaning given today to the word “hell” is that portrayed in Dante’s Divine Comedy and Milton’s Paradise Lost, which meaning is completely foreign to the original definition of the word. The idea of a “hell” of fiery torment, however, dates back long before Dante or Milton. The Grolier Universal Encyclopedia (1971, Vol. 9, p. 205) under “Hell” says: “Hindus and Buddhists regard hell as a place of spiritual cleansing and final restoration. Islamic tradition considers it as a place of everlasting punishment.” The idea of suffering after death is found among the pagan religious teachings of ancient peoples in Babylon and Egypt. Babylonian and Assyrian beliefs depicted the “nether world . . . as a place full of horrors, . . . presided over by gods and demons of great strength and fierceness.” Although ancient Egyptian religious texts do not teach that the burning of any individual victim would go on forever, they do portray the “Other World” as featuring “pits of fire” for “the damned.”—The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, by Morris Jastrow, Jr., 1898, p. 581; The Book of the Dead, with introduction by E. Wallis Budge, 1960, pp. 135, 144, 149, 151, 153, 161, 200.

Answer 6

Not only will you not go to hell... but you sound like you are on the path to recovery. yipppeee
All you need to do is stop reading the bible altogether. realise that you have never know a 'god' to exist and youll be saved!
Out of the darkness and into the light. dont be afraid

Answer 7

With those qualifications I think that you'd spend an eternity at the back of the queue. Seriously though, no two people can have the same concept of God (like fingerprints), therefore we all have our own internal unique religion - consequently heaven or hell is what you decide to make it.

Answer 8

Jesus said: "I am the way, ...no one comes to the Father, but through me." (Jn.14:6), therefore, is not the Salvation through Jesus, ALONE?

Before Jesus spoke these words, he said; "In my Father's house are many mansions (dwelling places); if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a mansion (a dwelling place) for you." (John 14:2). The above explicit statement confirms that Jesus was going to prepare "a" mansion and not "all" the mansions in "my Father's house". Obviously, the prophets that came before him and the one to come after, were to prepare the other mansions for their respective followers. The prophet that came after Jesus had evidently shown the current "way" to a modern mansion in the kingdom of heaven.
Besides; the verse clearly states; Jesus was the "WAY" to a mansion. It is a folly to believe that Jesus (or any prophet) was the "DESTINATION".

Jesus said; "I am the door" to find the pasture. (Jn.10:9).
A sheep that walks through the "door" will find the pasture.
A sheep that circles around the "door" will never find the pasture.
One who crosses over the "way" will reach the mansion. Anyone that stops on the "way" and believes the "way" to be the end of his/her journey, will be out in the open without any shelter and a roof.
Hot Tip (precise and pertinent)
Jesus said; "Not every one that says to me; `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven." (Mt.7:21).

Answer 9

you neither attending mass and reading the bible is'nt the only basis if you're going to hell or not. I'm sure you have sins, everybody does. The only way to clear them all out is to recieve the sacraments. In that way, you could attain grace that makes salvation possible for you regardless of up to what extent your sins are.

Answer 10

Do not know, but if you are nice to people, and walk in god teaching ,not reading the bible I believe god is not going to forget you.

Answer 11

It depends on your belief system, but I don't think so. After all, you are connected with the spirit or whatever you would like to call it, and you do good things. That's excellent. You don't have to sit in a pew and read a particular book to escape damnation.
