If I don't accept Jesus as my savior, what will happen to me?

Question

Just curious to see what people have to say.

Some of the answers on here are unbelievable. I do believe in Jesus and have accepted him.You don't have to be a Christian for that happen. I just wanted to see what some of the ignoramuses would say.

Answer 1

You'll be fine. God doesn't care. He just wants you to be a good person who takes advantage of the opportunities for learning that you encounter on earth. He doesn't have such a big ego that he needs us to follow a bunch of trivial commandments in order to win his approval.

There are many wonderful people who do his work in all different religions, or do not practice any religion at all. The whole "gotta accept Christ to be saved" is a tactic devised by Christian churched to get converts, out of a fear of going to hell, which is an awful reason to develop a relationship with God in my eyes. If God is really the most divine, most loving being, he would act that way. He loves us more than our own mothers and fathers, and whose mom would base her entire acceptance of her child on one belief? No one's would.

God wants us to use the brains he gave us to discover the real truth, the one that meshes with what our hearts believe, and with what science and nature can show us. He doesn't us to follow like sheep. That's why he gave us intelligence and analytical skills.

This is just how I feel in my heart, and what I have learned as a result of studying many world religions.

Answer 2

nothing the world will just go on as it always has
billions of people are in that catagory .and they have not been zapped by lightning .or have faced spiritual breakdowns .
just relax .
become a Pagan and life is much simpler .you are allowed to have fun .and do a lot of gardening and like animals .
you may have to sacrifice some thing once in a while ,but that is nothing compared to the wholesale slaughter of inocent women and children on the other side of the world ,so you will be able to sleep better at night
and are spared all these theological confusions ,that the folowers of Jesus suffer from.

Answer 3

if you ask a Christian, when you die you will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Obviously you have heard about Jesus, and thus why you should (by Christian standards), so you can't claim I didn't have a chance or I didn't know. You are on Yahoo Answers, so I will assume you are at least 12 years old or older, thus you would more than likely not fall under the 'age of accountability' factor. By Christian standards, you would most like be cast into the Lake of Fire (Hell). Though, I try not to judge such things. I might fail, but I try not to. If you have questions about Salvation please send me a message.

Answer 4

You don't *have* to accept him if you're not ready. It's your free will. We can't really judge others or who will go to heaven and hell, all that's up to God himself. What's more important is what you've done all your life and what you deserve after you die.

What'll happen to you? Nothing, in this life. As for after you die, no one can really tell, right?

For me, the best way to get closest to God is by accepting Jesus as my savior, for others, it doesn't work like that.

Answer 5

God will love you anyway. You will continue your spiritual journey throughout many lives, eventually ending up in the bosom of God.

In time another age starts and the cycle begins all over again, manifesting differently only in form.

Try to enjoy the ride. It seems to go more quickly that way.

Answer 6

The christians say : You ll go to eternal hell
The moeslems say: it's okay but If you don't worship God, you go to eternal hell
The others monotheist say: it's okay but remember the God or you go to hell
The Buddhis say: whatever your religion, you believe Jesus or no, you will be born at hell if you have so many bad karma(actions) but hell is not eternal. No need eternal punishment for 80 years of life with bad actions, it's not fair

Answer 7

Depends on wheather you are a Christian or not, but to be a Christian who hasn't accepted Christ is an oxymoron, so whatever.

My answer is, nothing, unless you think you should, then you will go to hell.

Answer 8

You are asking questions, and that means that maybe you are searching for the truth. That is a good place to start, and a good state of mind to be in. Sincerely look, and you will find what you are searching for (Matthew 7 verses 7 and 8).

I'll start at the end and work my way back. In Revelation 20 verse 15, anyone's name who is not found in the Lamb's Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire. To have your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life, you must accept Jesus Christ, the Lamb, as your personal savior.

If you read in the Book of John, chapter 14, verse 6, you will see that Jesus is the only way to get to heaven (what He means when He says that no one will get to the Father-who is God- except through Jesus Christ). So if you do not accept Jesus, you will not get into heaven.

The alternative to heaven is hell. Everyone goes one place or the other; there is no in-between. To understand a little bit about hell, turn to the book of Luke, chapter 16. Start at verse 19 and read through verse 31, which is the end of the chapter. Hell is a terrible place to be. The rich man begged for a single drop of water on the very tip of his tongue to ease his pain. And he could see the other side, Abraham's bosom, which is heaven or paradise. He could see how good he could have had it, but was experiencing suffering the likes of which he had never in his mortal life imagined.

Hell is a terrible place, and God weeps for each and every soul who enters there. But, we have a choice. What you believe about Jesus Christ determines what will happen to you. If you believe in Him, and have Him as your personal savior, you inherit the kingdom of God, reap untold riches, are allowed to judge and have authority over angels (I Corinthians 6:3). One day you will live in a city of solid gold (Read Revelation chapter 21, verses 10 through 26)

Continue to search, but do not wait to long. Our life here is of unkown duration, but the future of your soul is unending. Chose pleasure over pain, salvation over damnation, right over wrong.

God bless

Answer 9

No one really knows for sure. Religion is a matter of faith. No one and I mean NO ONE can tell you what will happen to you after death. There is no proof whatsoever of a life after death and no proof that there is not life after death. It is perhaps the greatest unanswered question humanity has ever asked.

Answer 10

Nothing! Jesus isn't your savior! YOU are your own savior. If you believe in heaven and hell then you know what to do to go wherever you want to go.

If you're still confused, consider Islam...
