none of the above. Ask for forgiveness. If you killed something out of hate, then you must know that what you did was wrong and admit it to God. You don't go to hell for those things,
"For GOD so LOVED the world, he gave his only begotten son so that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM shall have eternal life."
Does anywhere in that vers say "except the person who murders"? NO.

You won't risk eternal damnation for "offing" any of the above, but your karma will be heavier for those listed with the higher consciousness (humans), regardless of your reason for doing so. The lower on the chain, the less karma created, but there is karma created for killing any living thing. Each living thing has it's time to spend here, and it is not your place or duty to decide when it leaves. Your intent (if malicious) also creates heavier karma ... the smashing the gerbil thing. The way you pay could be the difference between a hard slap on the face vs. a severe beating (metaphorically speaking.)

There is no such thing as eternal damnation. One only goes to hell as long as their Karma (reaction to past sinful activities)is. The eternal part is a concoction of the Catholic Church and King Constantine who wanted to control the citizens. As far as suffering for those activities yep. What goes around comes around. Karma is a very complicated matter and it is not for us to judge. There is a whole Hierchy of Gods superintendants who decide all of this. If one fully surrenders to god then He takes away all Karma. One can atone for their sinful actions but it doesn't mean hey wont get the reaction. It's the law of nature. So if one acts like an animal they can even become an animal in their next life. One has to understand Karma and Reincarnation to understand Gods all loving Merciful nature. Read the Book Reincarnation and Karma: How they really affect us on stephen-knapp.c

You may kill all of these and not receive eternal damnation. Everyone that has kept their first estate (Living/live on this earth) will receive a glory of god. Unless you become a Son of Perdition, you will receive a glory of God after your life ends. So kill away! You can take that to the bank . . .

You can't get put in hell by killing things silly! And definitely not animals, true they are sins, except the accident, animals, and protecting of a child getting molested. but those things cannot get you out of heaven! LoL you make me laugh... even though some of that stuff is kinda sick.

You will not go to hell for killing but you will send youself to hell by rejecting the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins. Luke 16: 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, Mark 9: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

If you believe killing is wrong then all of the above. Some consider taking a life is wrong, any
life. You sure do have sick thoughts. Get some
therapy.

I find the gerbil thing a little intense. If you have a real question feel free to ask it.

don't worry about the dog, gerbil, or roach. they have no soul that is not a sin unless it was someone elses pet. the rest is not for anyone to judge. If you go to hell, it's between you and God. No one else should care so stop asking. you should still GO TO CONFESSIN AND NEVER DO THEM AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
