Personally, I would flat out refuse to set foot in heaven if my belief in Christ as God was required. I don't even like dress codes at restaurants, so I will be roasting there anyways. (According to Christian Dogma anyways) As for my last question, I would not set foot in heaven if I was accepted and the man before me were still condemed. I would join him in hell, and be in good company.

Your soul is matured and literally created by your actions and beliefs.
No religion is the end all be all! Its all a personal belief.
Heaven and Hell are just beliefs of many people.
Your paradise is what you make it. Create what serves the highest good for all the people in your life and include yourself.
Best wishes.

Well if I listen to some others I am condemned to a hell I don't even believe exists. Regardless, I am not one who likes exclusivity so given that fact if indeed both heaven and hell were real I'd choose hell because I can't see a reason why not all could go to heaven because of some small perceived sin.

My First thought was no, then I thought, Christ did it for us now didn't he? he suffered died and rose again so we could also be saved and go to heaven. Any man or women no matter what the sin, if he or she repents asks forgiveness and is born again in Jesus name will go to heaven. Christ payed the price for us all already. if a man or women chooses to live a sinful life knowing they could be forgiven, then that is the chose they made. The wages of sin is death. But like I said Christ paid that price for us already, So the sinner should just repent. Think about it

You are one puzzling person. You seem to have empathy for your fellow man. A positive trait. Yet you position yourself as higher authority than God in terms of quality of judgement. Who are you to judge another man's servant? To his own master, he stands or falls. This trait indicates a need for humility. Recognize that God is sovreign in this area. God will judge every servant according to his word. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all require a Savior, an intercessor to petition on our behalf. God provided one. Only one. So you had better reexamine your objections to Christ. He is the Truth and the Way. Your cavalier attitude about ending up in hell, makes me wonder if you truly believe hell exists. I pray you will not know it firsthand.

You condemn yourself to hell simply by refusing to accept the free gift of Jesus Christ. You talk like going to hell is just a walk in the park. You have no idea what you are talking about! Just because you want to enjoy your sin...which you obviously feel guilty for, since you reject the love of Jesus. Perhaps you just don't really know Him? He is not the religious landlord in the sky waiting to rain hell fire down on sinners. He is a loving God who loved you enough to send Jesus, to die for YOU! Just choosing to feel sorry for another sinner who refuses to repent will not keep you from hell, or make thre sinner feel better because you are there suffereing in hell with him or her.
I wish you could talk to someone who has had a NDE (near death experience) and who went to hell for a moment and came back to tell about it... There are lots who did... It transformed their thinking and faith. You need the same transformation... Give Jesus a chance!

Seeing as "HELL " is merely the common grave of all mankind, the place where they put your body, then I have bo problem going there. It is NOT a place of fiery torment and torture that people think it is. The Bible does NOT support the misconception that people believe in. This is a misconception that false religion has propigated as a way of controlling the masses thru religion in order to keep people under the control of religion and thus under control of the ruling political regimes thru history. If you haven't noticed, politics and religion go hand in hand.

What if there were no such thing as hell or heaven for that matter?The question you're asking is all theoritical. A sort of like asking yourself who would you save if both your mother and wife was drowning at the same time.

Truthfully I might if it were a member of my family. Such as my sons or mother. But I do not feel that will be necessary.May God forgive me for my answer but the love I feel for my sons is a gift from God. But understand I would not trade my faith in God for a physical life. I have to much faith in the next.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.
You mean, that because Jesus felt the exact same way about you that you do about that proverbial condemned man, you refuse to believe in Him?
Well I guess that's a good thing ... you get to know how Jesus felt when that condemned man that you are roasting beside absolutely refuses to believe that you did that for him.

"Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand, and I will do my pleasure". Isaiah 46:9-10 The fool hath said in his heart that there is no God... Psa. 14:1
