It depends if you're saved or not.

God may love you but he must be righteous also. We all live in sin and thus fall short of the glory of God. If God let you into Heaven, being covered in Sin, it would make him unrighteous.
Sin is cleansed through Christ. Accepting Christ makes you completely Forgiven and Pleasing to God.
2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 8:12
Otherwise....bring some sunscreen.

Okay, they didnt' steal the apple, they simply disobeyed. God said eat from any tree but this tree. It was a question of obedience not stealing, or eating or anything else. Secondly, Hell does not exist according to the bible. People who choose to live a life against God's will, will simply cease to exist. Like a dreamless sleep. If you are truly interested in real answers to these questions, study the bible. I have a number of books that will lead you the scriptures addressing your questions.

Do you believe in Jesus as your savior? Are you born again? If you are born again and steal, the holy spirit, which resides in you, will convict you of that theft.
A born again believer does not need to keep an account of every single sin they commit, and they'd better confess every one, or they are going to hell. It's Jesus' sacrifice on the cross that paid for our sins. It's not forgetting to confess one that will condemn us.
That being said, a true born again Christian will not desire to sin, and will realize that sin separates them from God, and will want to remedy that by repentance.

were you starving? the real question is: do you belive it would be wrong? and what do you feel may happen to you. spirituality has a lot to do with you and your beliefs. i think people concentrate on others' practices and beliefs too much. you know what's right and wrong. and i bet you have at least an idea of the consequences of your actions. if you believe stealing will buy you a ticket to hell...well, you better steal something more worthwhile than an apple.

I will answer that ... after You tell me why you asked it. Did you steal an apple? Are you wondering what will happen to you when you die? Are you worried a little bit about HELL ?? Or is this another Mindless effort and accomplishment ??.... Well, tough guy, what's it gonna be ?

God loves us, that's why He sent His son, Christ Jesus to save us from sin.
God is a Holy God and He is True in all His ways. If God says He is going to Bless you, He will bless you, He is a faithful Father.
How would you feel if you do not get your blessings. You would feel sad and robbed right?
Well thats how God feels when we are unrighteous.
So why don't we just do our part so God can do His. Just ask for forgiveness..its a done deal
1John 1:8-10
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Try it and see. How the hell should I know. I think your condescending attitude will get you a ticket to the 24-hour inferno before the damn apple.

Who ever said He loves UNCONDITIONALLY - not the Bible - you do what he says but make mistakes along the way - He will forgive you - deny Him - you can do all the good works one can do - Hell will be your destination!

repentenance is the only way GOD says in ROMANS 2:4-6 or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;not knowing that the goodness of god leadeththee to repentance.But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thy self wrath against the day of wrath and revalation of the righteous judgement of GOD.WHO WILL RENDER TO EVERYMAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS;God bless

Not repenting speaks of deeper problems.
