I am honest, I believe I treat every person as I would expect to be treated but I am going to Hell or elsewhere why?
I don't think you are going to Hell if you are loving caring and respectful to each other (and me!) as I am to you

Ouch! mclamb63 never would I wish to be self pitying... I hope to be thought provoking with my questions!
Not only for me but for the answerers.
Please read the wondeful answers that I have from the Mosaic based religions if you read them they are all nearly at one within their own souls wouldn't it be beautiful if they could be the same face to face?

60:8-9 "As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers!"
In all honesty, I think anyone could agree to this, same could apply to all. And besides that, only God can judge you, not a single Muslim can call you an "infidel" or tell you which eternity you are destined.

What do you mean? I accept you just the way you are! :) And you have stated some good values there.
Honestly, I believe only God knows where each soul will go. Not all Muslims are good, the same goes to Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. We're all human beings with different flaws and strengths. As another human being, who am I to judge you? (Unless you're a serial killer or something, which I'm sure you're not...)
But as a Muslim, I believe that when God says you are to believe in Him it is for your own good... because He is giving you guidance in your life. What I meant by believing in God doesn't mean that you just say 'Ok I believe in God, I'll go to heaven'. No of course not. You have to follow the teachings in the Qu'ran, what God wants us to do - pray 5 times a day, fast during Ramadhan, carry out alms-giving, etc. All of these things benefit the human body, mind & soul.

no offense, but jews accept you. jews do not believe a person is required to follow the jewish religion, we believe a person is required to do good deeds. and we certainly don't believe in hell, for ANYBODY.
you should read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparing_and_Contrasting_Judaism_and_Christianity
"To religious Jews, Jewish peoplehood is closely tied to their relationship with God, and thus has a strong theological component. This relationship is encapsulated in the notion that Jews are a chosen people. Although many non-Jews have taken this as a sign of arrogance or exclusivity, Jewish scholars and theologians have emphasized that a special relationship between Jews and God does not in any way preclude other nations having their own relationship with God, and does not mean Jews are superior to members of other nations. In this sense, "chosen" means chosen to undertake a duty, a responsibility or a role, rather than chosen as higher status or more deserving." - from the article above

We all accept you as you are. I'll answer you from a Christian standpoint. I am a Christian man.
You can be the best person on the planet, doing good to all and helping everyone in every situation. But this will do you no good when you stand before God to be judged.
You see Mr. B. God put you here to make a choice. When you reached the age of reason, that's when you are able to tell right from wrong, something inside makes you wonder. You start to wonder about your existence and where you came from. You are on the right track then.
This is God working with you. He wants you to decide on Him in your choice making. There is only one God. Jesus Christ is His Word. Its through His Son that you will gain salvation.
You need to read the Word of God. He makes it simple. He has put it in book form. Its called the Bible. KJV
Everything you will ever need to know is contained in it.><>

i love u as much as i love my brother. u havent harmed neither me nor my family nor my country, so why would i bear grudge against u for no reason. freindship, love and respect shouldnt be bound or limited to religions, faith. and u are not going to Hell just because u are from a different Faith. each and everyone of us will be judged by our DEEDS. so hope to see u in Heaven sometime. Allah has always brought those Righteous and honored them.

God has to judge sin. we are all born sinners by nature and need to be redeemed by Jesus. good works do not do it. Grace is not earned or deserved but is a gift from God. God did not create hell for humans, His plan was for man to live sin free but Adam and Eve used their free will to accept the lie and become like God so they were told. Here we are still under the curse of sin and without repentance there is no possible way to enter heaven. read the book of John to get more info. hope this helps with your question.

In order to get to the Christian Heaven you must follow the rules of acceptance. No follow rules, no acceptance. Simple as that. Being a good guy just doesn't meet the requirements.
The jailer said to Paul, What must I do to be saved? Paul replied, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
T'aint no other way.

first there would have to be such a place besides in your dreams ...so allow me to abate your fears .. no-one should place their good faith in superstitious threats .... keep your sanity and let the religiously challenged keep their fantasies it won't hurt any anyone and they need the crutch to vent their hostilities . so consider the source. You will be respected in this life but In all honesty no one can promise life after death . enjoy

Look the holy scriptures tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of god Romans 3-23,and our lord and savior Jesus Christ also reminds us that I am the way the truth and the life and the only way to the father is through me john 14-6,because the holy bible tells us that the only one who is good is our father in heaven which means your not as honest as you think,because we all need Jesus Christ, so open up your heart today and invite Jesus Christ into your heart to be your own personal lord and savior because I did.

A number of answers here should tell you all you need to know: It doesn't matter how kind, comnpassionate, or considerate you are. Neither Christians nor Muslims consider you heaven-bound unless you are marching in lock-step with them. Their gods don't care about quality...just obedience.
Edit: My point has been made by the answers following mine. Note the supreme arrogance in their answers. "I'm saved, you're not! Nyah, nyah, nyah."
