I'd like to think he has greater intelligence than some of his followers and decides to send them to Hell for misrepresenting him. e.g. the ones who use religion to hate, the ones that kill in the name of religion.

To the ones that gave me the thumbs down. How can what I say possibly be wrong? Are you a hater or a killer that uses their religion as an excuse?

To teenager Ryan Evs, because I am a grown up who questions more than what aftershaves a girl likes a man to wear or what turns girls on. If you were an adult, you wouldn't have to ask such trivial questions.

If you don't have a religion, why do you care what happens to the believers, who do believe in God?

Some people do misrepresent Jesus, the same way some football hooligans misrepresent the majority of peaceful fans. That doesn't make football in itself inherently evil, just means that some of it's followers have missed the point. It's the same with anyone who follows Jesus , it's the followers who have got it off key, not the God they follow. The fact remains however that it's not our deeds that get us to heaven, its our acceptence of Jesus.
The bible tells us to rebuke our fellow christians if they are doing wrong, and ultimately that they will be judged harshly on judgment day for the hardness of their hearts. Those that teach killing and hatred in the name of Jesus will be in a sorry state on that day.

I don't know for sure if there is or isn't a God, I believe there is, and I believe his son was Jesus, but I have red the bible,and there is no way, I want to be stood in front of any man,that can condone a whole city to destruction,without Jesus on my side playing my advocate,So I'm going to keep going to church,and hoping for a better world. I hope he is in your corner too love, when the time comes.

Here's a theory for you. If God exists, maybe he depends on human belief in the same way as we depend on food, water, air and so on. That being so, the Devil would be in the same position - dependent on people believing in him. Given that even the Church of Satan doesn't believe in the existence of an ACTUAL Devil, the people who believe MOST in the Devil are the people who see him everywhere, believing other people are "sinners" because they're different. So perhaps many of the televangelists and extremist Christians who continually see the Devil's work on earth, will eventually get a chance to meet him face to face ;o)

Sadly enough, if you read many Holy Text you will find killing in the name of God and also you will find hate being preached in the "My God is better than your God" way. It's all about the people and their personal attitudes toward each other. There is no hell or heaven. There is no reward or punishment.

To doubt the existence of God is to doubt your own existence and that is very serious because it is not by chance that one exist, it must have come from somewhere and the source is God.
On the question of Heaven again to which I believe as a christian, I believe that man is made of body, soul, and spirit and at the time of death they separate. What happens at death is complecated for me to explain, but I believe that Jesus will come to judge the living and dead and it is at this point that some will go to hell or to heaven. So heaven exist for the righteous ones.
Where exactly heaven is, is complecated for me but I believe it is a glorified place. I cannot categorically describe the geographical place or its contents because it is beyond human understanding to explain but we can just believe it as a good place.

The serenity of God existence is unknown but that very fact also suggest we can not know him, for what the majority thinks as acceptable thru teachings and to what Gods will is also unknown, in short, no one knows what god would be like or his affections to us would be, his judgment may just be simple as to you did you best, or you did what I command you to do, so being christian will not truly help you in the afterlife, he may help you cope with human life but that's all and again that is might help you

Guess what? I agree with you! As I have said in my other posts, if you claim to be a believer but do not obey God (in other words, if you do not love all, forgive all, show mercy and judge no-one) you will not get to Heaven. God, through Jesus, has experienced hell on behalf of everyone. How do you think He will react to someone that mocks Him after something like that? Someone who claims to represent Him but acts in a shameful fashion? God is no fool, and will not be mocked. If a person claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ, they must prove it day after day after day. OK, they may slip, but they have always got to repent, accept God's forgiveness, and get back to pursuing a holy life.

Law and Gospel. The Bible is full of references where God cautions us on acting on His authority in the decisions we make on this earth. Instead of a "Hell" where you sit in a pit and burn for all eternity, I believe those who do not live their life like "Jesus with skin on" suffer an eternity outside His presence, away from the home He has waiting for you. This loneliness, this isolation forever, becomes the eternal damnation.
