Satan would think so. But this christian has made Jesus Christ her Lord & He gave her everlasting life. No hell for me. Hell would be separated from God. Jesus made the way so I can pray to Father God 24/7. No longer seperated from God.
The Lord has let me know that hell is a terror for terrorists. That is where they go.

Strictly speaking, Christians do not 'condemn' anyone. However, the aggressive and insistent dualistic nature of the faith, coupled with the inevitable factionalism, means that it is functionally impossible to claim that any group is the "one, true faith".
Thereby leading to the inevitable logical conclusion that every human who ever lived is going to hell.
No, I'm not kidding.
Consider:
1. The Protestants can't be completely correct, because (among other things) they have no formal recognition of sainthood. But the Catholics can't be completely correct, either, because the whole point of Jesus' sacrifice was to COMPLETELY tear down the barrier between humanity and the 'holy of holies', so there is no need for a priest to intercede between humanity and God.
2. The Christians can't be completely correct, because the Jews have followed the laws of Moses and Abraham which Jehovah promised would grant entrance into heaven. But the Jews can't be completely correct either, because Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew and claimed that "no man comes to the Father except through me."
... And there are hundreds of other conflicts between doctrines.
Thus, we have to consider the possibilities that either
A) humanity still hasn't nailed down what happens when we die, or
B) we've all gotten it so wrong that we're all going to be punished.
Now, in the interest in keeping you reading, I reiterate that this is all based on deductive logic, which is just as likely to produce a false conclusion as a true one. But it still raises the most interesting question, doesn't it?
Let us ponder that wonderful bumper sticker: "If you think that there is no hell, YOU'D BETTER BE RIGHT!"
Well, what if I, speaking for those who do not believe that hell is as most Christians claim (which, interestingly enough, are NOT spouting their own dogma accurately
http://bible-truths.com/), actually have it right?
What if you Christians (or any other religion, including atheists) are wrong?
That surge of anger or disgust or contempt or pity you're probably feeling right now is a none-too-thick cover for an elemental Fear (use of capitals deliberate and for emphasis): that you are wrong.
Let me state at this point that I obviously don't know "The Truth", not having been truly dead. But the question remains valid, and admittedly has far more than two edges: what would you do if you found out that your faith really was wrong?

There are all kinds of Christians, which ones are you refering to, there are true Christians, so so Christians, and wanna be Christians, True Christians follow the word of God and try their best to do what is written. So_So Christians go to church on Sunday, put up a front for others, in other words talk the talk, but can't make the walk. Wanna be's listen to this crazy evangelist on tv, and repeat what they say without investing any time in the Bible to see if what they are saying is true. But that want what they see on TV, which is fake.
A true Christian will NOT go to Hell
And for your information only God can condemn someone to hell, not a mere human being.

It would be nicer if the lost people repent and ask Jesus into their hearts. I am a Christian and I do not condemn anyone at all. I am NOT a Sunday hypocrite, I try every day to live for the Lord, and to witness to lost people. I am not better than them, I too was once lost and headed for hell. A true Christian will not condemn anyone, there may be people that do, and if that's the case they may be calling themselves Christians and don't really know Gods words. We love everybody, even the ones that put us down. God wants us to love and forgive people. Now think on that. Is that really a bad thing? Being a Christian is hard thing and Jesus even says that we will be persecuted. We do not want anyone to fall into Satan's traps, even Christians fall and backslide time to time. We are not perfect and do not claim to be. That is a Christian. If one has told you that you headed to hell if you don't believe in Jesus, well they told the truth. But they should also tell you of Gods love for you and that Christ died for our sins. We all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Only by believing in Jesus is the son of God and that he died for you then you be saved from hell. Satan uses lies and everything he can to pull you into damnation with him. Why is beliving in God a hard thing to do. Once you have accepted Christ you will see and feel him in your life.

It would be nicer if they could grasp the patent absurdity of a God of love being an eternal torturer of his powerless creatures.
It would be nice if they could see the illogic of an all knowing Creator having an ego so fragile that he demands his creation tell him he's pretty for all eternity.
It would be nice if they asked themselves if they would eternally burn someone like a campfire hotdog for offending them, and if their answer is yes, to point out the section of the gospels where Jesus sets the scribes and pharisees on fire and tells them to never forgive someone for offending them.
It would be nice if they could explain why a deity that ordains eternal torture for the commission of a temporal sin is a God and not a devil?
It would be nice if they explained why their child should be popped into an eternal blast furnace for stealing a cookie or misunderstanding a scripture, and what is the attraction of such a monstrosity that anyone would be compelled to other than spit at the sound of its name?

Hey that's not very nice. Not all christians condemn others. I for one don't tell anyone they are going to hell if they don't believe in God. I just tell them how my life has changed, I love them as people and I tell them how being a christian could benefit them. But I never actually talk to them about hell, that's a scare tactic. And using scare tactics bases any decision made on their part, a decision out of fear and that is not reason to believe, just out of fear. If you believe, it should be because that is the choice you've made and that you are fully aware of this choice.

I think you have a serious problem and you need help. God help you. I am seriously going to pray for you. Besides, Christians don't condemn other people to hell, it is God that is going to send the people who do not put their trust in Him, there.

Christians dont condemn people to Hell they condemn them selves for not choosing to follow God.
