How can you really believe that someone that has dedicated his life helping others however does not belong to your religion, hence, does not BELIEVE IN YOUR DOCTRINES,(YOU CANNOT FORCE A BELIEF in your head in case you were unaware of that), behaves like a loving ,caring human being , will be punished and judged by God AND SENT TO HELL just because he did not believe in Christianity? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE MAKING A MOCKERY OUT OF GOD?

No one goes to hell simply because he is not a Christian.
God judges a person by the good they do in light of the knowledge that they have. His judgments are fair.
For the primitive bushman who has only the light of his conscience to go by, God judges him by that.
If he chooses the good and the true over selfishness, then he will be saved.
Although it is by Christ that anyone who is saved is saved, one need not have an explicit knowledge of Christ if not having that knowledge is not that person's fault.
For in loving the good and the true, he really loves Christ, since Christ is the infinite good and true, and hence has a love for Him without an explicit conscious knowledge of Him.

was there ever a time when you really thought about God and Cristianity and reserched its teachings. what do you really know about real Christians and Christianity. its time you stop hating it without knowing what it says.
God loves you very much and wants to have a meaningful relationship with you.
there is a problem though God is holy he is without sin. how then can he associate with us who are sinfull. the answer is Jesus, God's son who came to earth to suffer and die as payment for our sin. now all we need to do is put our trust in his accomplishment and ask and he will forgive all of our sin.
Jesus didnt stay dead though he ressuected from the dead and
asended to heaven. he didnt leave us alone though he gave us the holy spirit to guide us.
to answer your question its not about what good things we have done because none of it is enough to take away the bad
ex. a murderer can never do enough good to take away the crime he commited.
if your honest you will admit that the bad things all humans have done can never be paid for without Gods mercy and forgiveness.
thank you for the question and i hope you dont dismiss the answer and really look at what Gods word the bible says.

God is about covenant.
People enter into covenant by choice. A marriage is a covenant. I personally have never attended a wedding where either person was coerced into the covenant. Both are there by choice.
God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, as basically a marriage proposal to mankind. Whosoever will enter into this covenant can enter in. A person can choose to accept or reject God's marriage proposal to mankind.
If a man owns a house and proposes marriage to a woman, the house becomes hers when she enters into the marriage covenant with him. If she rejects the marriage proposal, the house the man owns will not be hers. It really is that simple.

How long will it take you to realize you are making a mockery out of God? There is only one way to get to heaven....the door is available to all but only the few will pass through.
Also during the Tribulation, others will come to believe and be saved...it is not for us to determine who goes to heaven...guidelines are given and that is what Christians follow...
Sorry for the first part of this, new arguments must be presented on here because this is really getting boring with the same old stuff presented over and over again.

Yes. We can believe this because ALL have fallen short of the glory of God. God's standard is perfection so unless we can meet that standard, we imperfect beings cannot be joined with Him in His perfection even if we do some really good things too. In other words, we don't believe that your hypothetical situation of a really righteous person (by God's standards) really exists.

Well as a christian I believe that you are free to choose whom you worship just as God has given us ALL free will :-) The only job I have is telling you how to find Jesus. John 3:16 for whomsoever believes in him(JESUS, doesn't say Christian here) shall have eternal life.
I don't find anywhere in the bible that is says you have to be of one religion or another to believe.

I'm Christian, and I certainly don't believe that all non-Christians are going to hell.
