In a word ... NO.

(But if you did, it would be filled with peanut butter instead of fire)

That depends entirely on your religion, and still its a little complicated after that. I don't know enough about other interpretations of this question to give my two cent, but I do know about the Biblical approach.

"Jesus said to him, ' I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" (John 14:6) "Comes to the Father" means go to heaven, so what Jesus meant was that no one goes to heaven without believing in him. The name Jesus actually means Savior in Greek (Matthew 1:21).

Even doing good things, or following the law, is not enough. Romans 3:20 says "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin." This is because no can live without sinning. Think about it: In your entire life, have you ever sinned? The answer is probably yes. The only person who lived without sin is Jesus (Romans 6:10). He paid the price of sin (Romans 6:23) so that we could go to heaven (John 3:16-17).

If you want to know more, you can:
email me at evesforeva@hotmail.com,
buy a Bible (I would recommend getting a Study Bible in the NKJV or the TEV and going through John),
or joining a good church (make sure it's one that reads the Bible; some oddly enough (like the Mormon and Catholic churches) don't)

The Bible grow to be written for sinners, to warn us removed from sin. - a million Corinthians 6:9-11 particular, the VERY WORST of sinners, even Christians, whose bodies are individuals of Christ, who fornicated, that's the only sin that's against their own bodies; evaluate against whose physique they sinned! grow to be Jesus a keen participant? - a million Corinthians 6:15-20 The salary that sin will pay is demise, no longer torment; meanwhile there's a advantages for repentance. - Romans 6:23 Hell grow to be the observe for "hollow" while the King James and Douay Bibles have been translated, and observed the hollow observed as a grave. It took centuries of propaganda to alter the meaning of the observe, and hellfire would not make any experience in languages wherein that propaganda did no longer take place. The devil is the god of this international, no longer of hell. - 2 Corinthians 4:4 Is it any ask your self that folk get caught right into an entire life of sin? the closest devil ever gets to hell is only no longer till long after Armageddon, or perhaps then, he would be solid into the Lake of hearth formerly hell is, and hell would be empty - no person in it - while it particularly is solid there. - Revelation 20:10-14

Believing IN Jesus has nothing to do with it. Even Satan BELIEVES in Jesus. Many people know OF Jesus but unless you KNOW Jesus as your personal Savior,you will end up in hell. The Scriptures can't be any more clearer on this subject, but religions,which are man-made, prefer to put emphasis on works.
Ephesians 2:8,9 states salvation is a GIFT from God,for those who choose to recieve it. You cannot EARN a gift, that's why works are useless,being a good person will not keep one out of hell. After one accepts Christ,truly repents and lives for Him , then and only then is one saved from hell.Then God EXPECTS good works from us. Religions have it backwards.

NO. First of all there is no Hell, so how can you go somewhere that doesn't exist? Second of all if you are good to others and try to do the right thing than you are living by his (Jesus') teachings, it doesn't matter whether you SAY SO or not. And third of all, God does not CARE what you believe. We have free will. If you turn on a light switch, the light goes on. If you think it goes on because of little men who walk on the wires you are wrong but your belief does not mean the light does not go on.

No, I don't believe that's right. I feel that if you live a good, honest life, and never intentionally harm others then you shouldn't be condemned to hell, just because you do not believe Jesus was a saviour. A lot of people do believe that though, and I say let them believe what they believe, I'll believe what I believe and we'll all be happy.

Yeah, you sin once, bam you go to hell, you must admit you are a sinner and believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day. "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Even the apostle Paul, who was considered the greatest christian of all said, "Finally, brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended (or attained complete Christ-like ness) but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching for those things which are before; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." The Bible also says, "For by grace, are ye saved, through faith and not of yourselves, lest any man should boast."

Living a good life is so much better with Jesus Christ your missing something without God. Believe me i thought the same way but with God's help you can get through anything and he will never leave you!! God Bless!!

Some Christians hold that view, it's true. Then again, according to some Jews, idolatry is, if not the most grievious sin, certainly among the greatest sins. To worship a man as God is idolatry. Therefore, all Christians are idolaters and must answer for their blasphemy before God.

It's all a matter of perspective.

You’re all going to hell. Unless you join my religion!!!!


Want to know the truth?
God is perfect therefore he knows man is flawed.
God gave us freewill.
God gave a choice between many religions.
If he makes us go to hell for picking the wrong one then he let us go to hell.
The ticket to heaven shouldn’t be like playing the lottery. If there is a god, heaven, or hell then you will go to heaven for being a good person nothing else. So be good be whatever religion (or none like me) you want just don’t wave the fear of hell around on others and don’t be religious for fear of hell or your no better than the 4 year old child who cleans his room for fear of the boogieman.
Hell is a scare tactic to get people to join their religion.(duhhhh)
Be nice just to be nice or no other reason than this, dont be nice out of fear, dont be nice for God, Just be a good person.

No amount of good works makes up for the fact that you are a sinner. We all are. Once you sinned once, then from that point on you are a sinner. The price is death, but luckily, God made a way even though humans messed up the plan. He is God, and made a way, and we can be saved from our sins IF we want to be. Not all people want to be, obviously. He will not force it.
