He is going to leave all us atheists and disbelievers here to well… you know the whole revelations thing. But picking and choosing people that like you doesn’t seem all that Christian-like and bringing wrath and hell-fire to people you don’t want to take with you seems kindof uncharitable? Why would your loving God do that? I am afraid he is starting to sound more like a tele-evangelist.

Don't complain. As far as I'm concerned, if someone wanted to come to the earth and take all of the self-righteous christians away tomorrow, I'd chip in to cover the cost of the re-location!

Yep. but he preffers Hell-evangelist. He's just as much a jerk as the worst man around. He hurts people, demands to be worshiped, punishes those close to him the most, ignores the requests of those who love him, knocks up some guy's fiance, then lets bullies kill his son, as he cries to him for help. He can take a flying leap into a blackhole for all I care.

i dont want to sound like a tele-evangelist, or an evangelist:
but this is how i see it:
when you were in school and wanted to go on a field trip, u had to sign a permission slip by a certain time.
if u didn't u were left in school, and had to endure the horrors of sitting in an empty classroom, watching educational movies and writing reports about them. (true story)
replace permission slip with believing in God and field trip with 'judgement day'

If you want to go to heaven so much, why don't you just believe in God! You know he is real! God is giving everyone a chance to go to heaven, you're acting as if you don't even have a chance! Well here it is right in front of your face, just accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you can go to heaven. Stop trying to make it seem as if you don't have a choice on whether to go to heaven or hell. Just take your pick!

We see Jesus as a prophet - a human who grew to become into divinely guided. He got here with a messege for human beings to check and obey. In so doing they might sin much less (yet not have sins cleared/wiped away).

One thing I think is hard for a non-believer to understand is the concept of sin! Sin is basically the reason for all the bad things you see in this world. In order to justify this sin issue God had to die for humanity. This includes every one, however if one does not believe Jesus Christ died for their sins, they can not go to heaven. Non-believers have not been redeemed by faith in Jesus Christ. God being a perfect God he can not allow those who are still condemned by their sins to enter in to his presents. Ultimately it is the choose the person makes. Its perfectly fair. He does not want anyone to go to hell, hell was made for the devil and his angels, not humans. He loves us! If you believe that he died for your sins, he will never leave you.

People are only "chosen" in Christ--that is ALL who believe on the name of Jesus and accept salvation through His blood sacrifice will be saved. It doesn't matter where you live, what race you are, what you have or haven't done.
When the end of the age comes, those who have chosen to be "in Christ" will be with Christ. Those who rejected Christ will not be with Christ. That seems pretty fair to me.
The Bible teaches that God is holy and we are not. The only way we can exist in the presence of Holy God is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins. Therefore, those who accept the sacrifice will spend eternity in the presence of God. Everything that is good and wonderful and amazing and beautiful in this world is a reflection of the nature and character of God and a taste of what it will be like to spend eternity with Him.
Everything that is foul, cruel, unjust, hateful, detestable, etc. is outside the nature of God. Remove the Spirit of God from the world, and those things are all that is left. Life outside the presence of God is called "hell."
God calls all people to Himself, reveals Himself to all people through Creation, draws near to anyone who draws near to Him,
and makes Himself known to anyone who asks. We simply choose whether we will go God's way or our own way, and just as we do in life, we take on consequences with our choice.

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed ! What makes believers 100% sure there IS a God?? You are going to have a long wait for him to arrive! When we die,we will all be in the same place,six foot under the earth.! Thats it! No Heaven,no Hell, no After life,just......................................
dead!!

It is not about who Jesus likes. It is about who has accepted Him. He would "do that" because He is thoroughly JUST and gives everyone free will. It sounds like you BELIEVE Him, you just don't believe IN Him. I pray for an increase in your faith, as you DO have some faith. Thank God He chose me and I in turn chose Him. I don't worship Him just to escape Armegeddon or hell, but because He is just so awesome and WORTHY of praise.
