May I respectfully ask you a question or two?
DId you, at some time, hear or read the message that Christ died for you on the cross?
When you heard it, did you feel drawn to to Christ? DId you feel, no matter how hard you tried not to, that the message was true?
DId you shut this feeling out for some reason?
If you answer "yes" to these questions, then you will someday stand before God without excuse. I wish I could tell you some softer, gentler version of this great question, but I cannot. God's word is what it is whether we like it or not. If God draws you to Himself again, follow. Your soul is going to live forever. The only questions are where and with whom, and you alone must decide the answer to that.

Accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior is nonsense. Nowhere in the bible does any prophet or messenger ever make this baseless claim. The belief that proclaiming Jesus as your personal savior is enough for salvation, is false. There's a lot more involved than that.

Yes...in fact, not only you, but anyone -- no matter how sweet or how vile -- will be thrown into the lake of fire and be tormented for eternity...without any hope of ever escaping. See Rev. 20, 21.
Jesus said the ONLY way to glorify the Father is through faith (trust and obedience) in Him. Jesus made the way for us to return into fellowship with the Father by living a sinless life, and dying a sin-bearing death as a sacrifice for us all. According to Rom. 3:23...all of us are sinners, justly deserving the lake of fire.
When you accept Christ into your life - sincerely - you have a life changing experience. It's not about feelings and goose bumps...it's about what God has already done for you through Christ...through love. It is about accepting Jesus as your Lord...and Saviour. Your life becomes a quest to be more like Him...to understand God in your life...to follow Him...and let the love from God reflect through you to others as a great light in a dark world...wherever you are. At that moment of faith, you are justified before the Father...when He sees you, He sees the righteousness of Christ. You are an adopted child of God, bought with the blood of Jesus, worthy to enter into eternal fellowship with God for eternity. It is a high calling...and one that many will mock...consider how Jesus Himself was mocked and crucified.
It's all about faith in Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Read Hebrews...it talks alot about faith.

Yes! Hell is a very real place. Revelation 20:14 & 15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
People who never make Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior go to hell when they die, their first death. Then on judgement day they are cast into the lake of fire, their second death.
This thought should make any person really want to know the truth. It will be to late to say to God after we die, "God I believe in you now".

If you don't follow God's instructions you have sinned. The christian bible states that the wages of sin is death, that means if you practice sin then you will earn your death. If a person is being tormented in hell then that person is obviously not dead. If that person is being tormented for an eternity then that person has gained everlasting life. Your fate is simple, life or death. You either gain an afterlife of everlasting peace or you die and never live again.

YES. The only way to the Father is through the Son. Jesus is THE way,THE truth and THE life. Do you see that it isn't that Jesus is a way or a truth or a life but THE.
I do not recommend that you play Russian roulette with your spirit. Jesus paid the price for sin that who so ever should believe on Him would not perish but would have eternal life.
Therefore those who do not believe on Him will perish and will not have eternal life.

Thou shalt shut thy gob when politely asked, and not drone on endlessly.
Thou shalt not use circular arguments, such as "God exists, because the Bible sayeth so, and the Bible is True because it is God's Word."
Thou shalt notice when thy audience is bored rigid. See Commandment 1.
Thou shalt not use a cop-out such as "God worketh in mysterious ways" when backed into a corner by thine own convoluted logic.
Thou shalt use thine own imagination, and not just quote from the Bible all the time.
Thou shalt not tell atheists what they believe, nor that thy God loveth them.
Thou shalt not get upset by jokes about thy God. He is big enough and old enough to looketh after himself.
Thou shalt not define how thy God worketh. Thou canst not know.
Thou shalt not state that the Bible is consistent and hath no contradictions.
Thou wouldst be a fool to doeth so.
Thou shalt not say Grace without also thanking the farmers, truck-drivers and shopkeepers that actually did the work required to get your food to the table.

In a word, yes. There is but one way of salvation, despite what our society likes to say. Please understand that this is not meant to be intimidating, as many take it to be. It is an invitation to an eternity in Paradise, not a threat.
I must also add that the person who cited Ecclesiastes 9 took it out of context. Heaven and hell do exist and one will be active in heaven. The context of that verse is speaking of the human body in the grave, which, of course, is only decay.

John 3:16:"For God loved the world(of mankind)so much,that he gave his only begotten Son,in order that everyone who exercises fath in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."
The concept of a fiery place of torment is not a Bible teaching.

Only through Jesus Christ do experience forgiveness of our sins and salvation - John 3:16. For those in the past who never had an opportunity to know Jesus or hear of Him will be winked upon because of their lack of knowledge but will also be judged if they followed the promptings of the Holy Spirit to worship God and live right. Jesus made a sacrifice to save us and the Bible says no man cometh to the Father but through Jesus Christ.
Because of sin, we are witnesses of the reality of sin and what it does. That is why God had to die to redeem us and he will come again and save us and rid the universe of sin, sinners and the devil Satan forever.
Before there was sin, no one knew really what it was it was just a bad thing. But sooner or later it would arise and Lucifer initiated it and therefore in God's infinite wisdom sin is allowed to be played out so that the character of God will be seen and that all the warning before was warranted.
Sin will never again rare its ugly head because God will not allow it again and we wont either because we see what it causes.
Even God had to pay for sin by the death of His only son, which was no ordinary death - no man or woman on earth every had that death - he died for the world everybody who died already died for themself.
