I wouldn't condemn any to hell based on this "sin." They have taken the name of Jesus in vain, but that isn't necessarily a sin that would send a person to hell. It would be an expression of stress or pain.

I doubt if Jesus would object and I'm not sure what he'd say if he burned his hand on a stove. But I think he'd understand in this situation.

If any of these are condemned for that sin I will need nothing more than a swim suit for where I'm going when I die. And it better be made of asbestos.

Clever. Sarah is the answer. Satan puts thoughts into our minds all the time. None will go to Hell as long as they repent and ask Jesus for forgiveness. However if none of them truly walk the walk a Christian needs to in order to follow Jesus, then they will all end up in hell.

When you exclaim "Jesus Christ" you aren't being literal. It's like saying GD. You aren't wanting God to go to hell, you are just using an expression. You don't mean it.

Almost all people (men and women) are going to Hell.

All have sinned. It isn't who sins worse that decides who goes to Hell.

ALL are headed to Hell as we are born.

the ONLY ones who ever escape this certain destiny are those who, during this lifetime on earth, find and embrace [obey] Jesus and His Gospel of forgiveness and salvation.

so, it could be both Sally and Samantha are headed to Heaven, or they might both be going to Hell.

It isn't whether they sinned or not, it is whether they are forgiven or not.

Keyser Söze of course for creating the conditions where Samantha, Sally and Sarah said or 'unsaid' what they thought. You can't play God, even if you are the Kaiser! ;)))

I couldn't guess why God and/or Jesus or whatever would get his nose out of joint about his name being taken in vain.

If any girl whose name started with the letter S called out 'edsawyer!' after burning her hand, I wouldn't be insulted. I'd be kind of flattered, actually.

Maybe Sarah because she is not confessing her sin alound .Or maybe all for not asking for forgivness. Or maybe no one because burning your damn hand is not a sin.Or maybe calling on jesus in a time of pain is not a sin at all. Or maybe their families for not stopping them. Or maybe you for asking this question, Isn't thinking of sin a sin. but i really don't know so you tell me.

None of the sins are greater than the others and if they all believe in god and ask forgiveness then none will go to hell.
