That's all us non christians hear out of most of you people. I thought you were supposed to be Christ-like. So really, is that what Jesus wants? It seems to be what you that condemn want.

During Jesus' earthly ministry, he spoke more of hell than of heaven, because He didn't want people to go there. 2 Peter 3:9 says "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, but is longsuffering towards us, and is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." From our human perspective, Christians should not condemn anyone, but witness to them in Christ-like love. From God's perspective, He has chosen before He even created the earth who will and will not go to heaven. Of course, we cannot tell which is which, so we preach the gospel to all. Any Christian who is proud or quick to condemn should evaluate the authenticity of his own salvation.
Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me via my 360 site.

If Jesus really wanted everyone to go to hell, all He would have had to do would be to stay home with His Father, true? Why would He bother to come here, live among men as a Man for some 33 years, and wind up hanging on a cross to pay for sin, if He WANTED people to go to hell?
(Just to keep the record straight, I don't believe in the usual Christian notion of hell. Death and Hell are BOTH scheduled to be destroyed, in the Lake of Fire, according to the Book of Revelation...that is the SECOND DEATH...no coming back from that one. Why would anyone CHOOSE to die, when they have the choice to live? Seems rather ridiculous to me....)

Christians condemn the world beause it is indeed evil. Jesus died so that everyone in the world could have salvation, but not everyone is going to choose him and be saved. Therefore we sift through the people offering the Gospel as we go an whoever wants to jump onboard and be saved can.

Jesus wants your heart, mind, and soul. Jesus wants your life. He wants YOU.
Seek a relationship with him to find out what he wants. If you keep asking people, you are merely prolonging the moment when you will come face-to-face with Christ. That moment will arrive. It is a question of whether you make the choice to enter into the relationship now, or whether Christ will be in front of you and you will be asked to account for why you refused when you had ample opportunity.
Christ came into the world to save you from Hell. You must accept his gift of salvation if you wish to avoid being eternally separated from God. It is really simple. If you choose to be separated, God will respect your choice and will permit you to be separated from him forever.

I don't condemn you or anyone to hell, but the truth is....you will go there and so will everyone who dies, because the word hell just means grave. So you will go, I will go every one will go there when they die. What happens to you, after Jesus comes back is not for me to judge or say, because I'm not the one who judges.

No, exactly the opposite. Jesus calls all to the Father... therefore He wants all to be saved and came that all would take part in the inheritance of eternal life. That was his purpose.

Jesus loves every one. He does not want to lose anyone. The perfect love is with choice. You have your free will. If you end up in hell, there is no one else to blame than yourself.

Jesus doesnt want anyone to go to hell, that is why he gave his life on the cross.

You have been told the truth in love but have rejected it.
God loved us (all) enough to send His only Son, so that we might be saved. John 3:16-17 “For God so loved y the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes b in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Hell was created for Satan and the fallen angels. However, anyone that doesn't believe in Jesus, repent their sins...will with go with Satan for eternity. In Revelation, it talks about Satan being thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternity.
God has given you free will to make your choices.
I hope you make the right one.

Where are you hearing the condemnation from, Christians or those who claim the name?
Please define, don't generalize.
