To tell a child that he will never amount to anything will make him start to believe he is nothing. And if you constantly tell them they will be somone in life they will start to believe that. How could someone call themselves a christians if they tell people they are not good enough for heaven.

If you ever take the time to read the Bible, you will find out, Jesus Christ Himself preached about hell more times than anyone in the entire Bible.
This question is so ignorant, I won't even answer it.

No I do not agree. First of all here are some related facts you apparently do not understand.
1. Christians make mistakes all the time, but they are sorry for those mistakes and ask for forgiveness from those they wrong and from God, who then forgives them.
2. Someone who is doing something that will make them go to hell needs to correct their behavior and may very will need someone to tell them to change and what the risk is if they do not. If you were drowning would you appreciate a life jacket and rope to safety?
3. Long answers are difficult on Y/A so some people just get to the main point of their answer.
4. Good Christians would try to tell the truth and also try to be tactful and loving at the same time.

If Christians properly understand the Bible, they will understand that it is not our job to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. That's God's job. He is the final judge... not you or I. However we do have a task to perform... and that is to tell others the message of salvation... "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel..." Sometimes people who are feeling guilty about the life they are living that they know is wrong, will respond to that message in a very negative way.... guilt has a way of doing that. It does not make the message wrong. The message stays the same... We could deliver it with all the love in the world and people will still read into it in a negative way. So often, we are forced to leave the results up to God... and pray that eventually the message does its work and they realize that the message is given in love, wanting to spare them from the pain of God's rejection. God makes the rules... not you or I... So we are not reallly responsible for a negative response to His rules. All we can do is tell them in love.... because we love and care about them. Anyone who tells another human being that they are not good enough for hell is doing it the wrong way. We are all sinners needing His love and forgiveness. I found His peace and I want everyone else who is feeling guilty and dirty to find it too.

My mom-in-regulation has been well-known to furnish that one up at the back of my decrease back. Like maximum each and every thing else she has to say about me, she might want to not in any respect say it to my face because she is a common "solid God fearing (hypocrite) Christian". I in basic terms report it with the quote from her declaring that my marriage to her attractive daughter will not in any respect very last. We celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of our "Unholy Union" this summer season. And to tutor what a rotten Atheistic SOB that i'm, I signal over part of my wages each and each month so as that my spouse can deliver her a pension supplement.

I remember someone telling me that I would go to hell unless I was a believer when I was young. My mother got so angry that anyone would condemn me. Now, I feel sad for that person- to live life with such fear of failure and punishment. I believe in the inherent worth and diginity of every living soul, therefore, there would be no hell. I also don't believe a god would create souls just to condemn them forever. That is cruel, and while people are cruel, god just isn't.

Absolutely. A real Christian would not say that.
It is nothing short of cruel and criminal to tell a child that he will never amount to anything, and unless the child has a very strong character, it often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Never a truer word spoken.
If you don't boost someone & give them confidence in themselves how will they ever believe in themselves?
I certainly thought christians were supposed to be all about making people feel good & helping them with troubles etc.

It's not a Christian act to tell someone they're going to hell, unless you know for a fact they are. I think someone guilty of the situation you described is certainly no Christian, not even a bad one.

And I can't tell you the number of times I have been told that I am going to hell by Christians

I agree, Christians should be telling the ones who do not believe or walk in sin, about God's amazing grace and love in Christ.
