Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, and so many other ambassadors of peace have done wonders for the world. Did God work through them, or are they hellbound even though they have done so much good for the world?

Quoting the bible is great, but please explain why the quotes are relevant.

I am a Christian in the sense that I try to live like Christ did. He was kind and loving to all people and forgiving of those who did not act appropriately. He made no judgements, just offered his teachings and suggestions. GOD did not create religion. PEOPLE did. Mix in the human need to compete, and you now have many different religions. RELIGION doesn't matter to god. IT's what is in your heart.
I can not believe that God would create millions of people just to let them "go to hell"
SO YES, God works through all people.

Being a Christian does not guarantee you will go to heaven. In fact, if you believe that Jesus is the son of God, you're in a lot of trouble with God. God does not have children. One must believe there is only One God who does not become human or has children, is neither male or female, who created everything and everyone and who never sleeps or rests. There is no god except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Once you have this belief, then you can start working for heaven, until then, all your deeds' will stop benefiting you at the time of your death.

Both. God can use ANYONE but He requires faith in His son to get into heaven.
In the book of John, Jesus says, "I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME."
He's the only way. If you have more questions, email me.
Best, G

non secular human beings have self assurance there could nicely be no morality without faith. inspite of the undeniable fact that, the comparable forces that are in the back of evolution (aggressive benefit) be conscious to morality. positioned purely maximum folk have morals because of the fact there is an evolutionary benefit to society to be that way. Morals have no longer something to do with faith (if it did slavery and genocide could have been banned in Roman circumstances .. yet have been condoned). working example, homicide has consistently been seen immoral because of the fact it reduces the style of hunters or childbearers or regardless of (based who became murdered) in a tribe. homicide of outsiders (throughout the time of conflict, working example) became justified because of the fact there became a hazard to protection of the tribe. faith on the different hand considers issues that threaten that faith to be immoral (or sins). working example worshiping graven photographs, or putting yet another god till now the god of the religion in question. those are no longer sins different than in the context of retaining the religion. further regulations around thinking monks edicts or the classes of the church are no longer morality matters they're administration mechanisms. on the different hand Christianity (working example) did no longer declare slavery immoral because of the fact society in those days practiced it. So, jointly as you question could make some experience on your concept equipment, whilst uncovered to the mild of rational argument this is nonsense. you're welcome!

John 4:23-24
"23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

If the Dalia Lama is going to hell, I will get buried in an ice chest.

Examine Yourself
[18:103] Say, "Shall I tell you who the worst losers are?
[18:104] "They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray, but they think that they are doing good."
[18:105] Such are the ones who disbelieved in the revelations of their Lord and in meeting Him. Therefore, their works are in vain; on the Day of Resurrection, they have no weight.
[18:106] Their just requital is Hell, in return for their disbelief, and for mocking My revelations and My messengers.
[18:107] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, they have deserved a blissful Paradise as their abode.
[18:108] Forever they abide therein; they will never want any other substitute.

Gods goodness is always available to us, is permeates the whole world and we can choose to cooperate with it or not, and we are free also to choose Heaven or Hell.

apparently we are going to hell.... so we atheist are going to stop caring about the earth and it's preservation. I "HOPE" you creationists can talk to your creator and tell him/her/it to preserve it better than we can. Good luck with that. Since all us non-believers are going to hell, we're not going to help you save the very planet that "GOD" created and sent into hiatus.
See how that works? you theists tell us to go to hell one more time, and i swear to the ocean that I won't ever do a good deed for this earth as long as we both shall live.
Treat others with respect, as well as the earth. No hell has to be involved.
