Say the innocent Iraqis who are killed every day, the heroes of 9/11, or our soldiers fighting over there.
If an insane man walks up to you and blows you up, do you go to hell with the bomber unless you accept Jesus as your Lord?

Don't be fooled by the false dichotomy of the saved and the unsaved. "Accepting Jesus as personal saviour" is an evangelical slogan, and not in the bible. Is there an impersonal savior?
Sir. 35:19; Luke 23:41; John 3:19-21, Rom. 8:13, 2 Tim 4:14, Titus 3:8,14, Rev. 22:12 - these verses teach us that we all will be judged by God according to our deeds. There is no distinction between the "saved" and the "unsaved."
Matt. 25:31-46 - Jesus' teaching on the separation of the sheep from the goats is based on the works that were done during their lives, not just on their acceptance of Christ as Savior. In fact, this teaching even demonstrates that those who are ultimately saved do not necessarily have to know Christ. Also, we don’t accept Christ; He accepts us. God first makes the decision to accept us before we could ever accept Him.

That is a good question. I'va wondered if Christians believe that people in another country who have never even heard of Jesus, and have never had the chance to accept Him or deny Him go to hell because they haven't accepted Him.
How fair is that?
But, Most Christians believe (NOT ALL, MIND YOU) that if you haven't accepted Jesus as your savior, then yes; you are going to go to Hell.

All sins might want to be forgiven except sinning adversarial to the Holy Ghost. Why do you need to be so in contact with something reliable occurring to someone that you imagine is undesirable? in my view i imagine reliable issues occurring even to undesirable human beings are nonetheless reliable issues. each body who ever killed all people in the international change right into a son or daughter to someone. They were all nonetheless human. Do you imagine it is previous your nature to kill or rape? to settle for Jesus Christ as Lord ability accepting his commandments, to love God and keep his commandments and to love thy neighbor as thyself. A man or woman who maintains to kill or rape, nicely they are not precisely doing what's needful of accepting Jesus. So, actual you're asking what takes position at the same time as that is a Tuesday and a Friday mutually. nicely, it is purely no longer a possibility.

There is no hell so no, the innocents don't go there. Everybody goes to the same light for judgement of whether or not you have been good or bad. Jesus was just a regular guy that was taught some cool metaphysical stuff and dazzled the ignorant. He stayed in the best homes as a guest and traveled widely to learn from many "wisemen".

On earth, if you do good but say you have not accepted Jesus as the way shower, you deceive yourself, because you follow Christ in your heart.
If a child says sorry, but repeats the offense, the child is punished again. If we say we are sorry to God, and sin again, we will be punished as long as sin remains. The product of sin is sure and calculated, being death. Death will go on forever until each person conquers sin for him or herself, by turning from it. Jesus does not do this work for you. He showed us the way and expects us to follow. As this is thoroughly understood, it gives a life on earth new meaning and direction. Questions and correct views put darkness behind us, and we move on to higher ground.
The answer is no, victims don’t go to hell, they keep working on their inner being just as you do.
The image of God does not go to hell, so the question becomes, what are you right now? Are you really a lie or are you made of a better substance?

Sorry to say but yes, if you do not accept Jesus as your Lord you will not go to heaven and there is also nothing in the bible that says that this is not so. But all those people already had a chance to know about God. Now we who are alive still have a chance to repent. We should be thankful we are still alive.

No. The bible says that even if you Dont accept Jesus as lord, he will still save you because of his kindness towards man.

yes if you give your life to save a child or a nun or something and you did not believe in Jesus then you will go to hell and burn forever. But on the other hand if you kill a bunch of people and then later in life accept Jesus as your savior then you get in to heaven. So that means if Adolf Hitler asked Jesus to forgive him and if he truly believed that Jesus was God then Hitler would be in heaven! Outrageous? I think so.

I think God will give you a Free Pass if you're the victim of such an attack. I would imagine He might have a few questions for ya before He just hands you the keys to the Pearly Gates of Heaven...but, if you can stand before God Almighty and deny him, then you don't belong there anyway...

First of all no one is in hell. Hell is just The lake of fire for the end of time. They are burned upj forever into ashes. God will put satan, his demons, and yes all his followers . This is all those who not only dont accept Jesus but all those who dont follow Him as well.
