Do you think people of other faiths will go to hell?

Question

If someone chooses to believe something that you disagree with, why not just let them believe it? Everyone makes their own choices in life. Why is it important to "save" those around you?

Wow...hppink09...amazing!!! Do you keep crazy things like that saved on your computer just in case you need to cut and paste religious stuff RIGHT NOW!!? That is obviously not a well thought out answer. I'm glad that you are religious, but I was either hoping to get a "thoughtful" answer or something strange regarding chickens, beanie babies, and the transcontinental knomes that have been sweeping the globe and killing helpless townfolk using only huge amounts of grape jelly... Seriously, cutting and pasting that much stuff just makes me say, "NEXT!!!"

Ooops...gnomes...what was I thinking?

Answer 1

Actually, I think that is going to be the funniest thing about the end of time. People are going to be shocked to find the Lord judges the desires of a person's heart and their actions. There will be people of all faiths present. There will be some shocked people present to discover this wasn't a private club with restricted membership afterall.

Answer 2

To whom it may concern,

If you believe in god, does that make you better than anyone else... no matter their religion, I think not. If you spend Sunday's in Church every week, do you think your any better off than anyone else. In other words, if you have perfect attendance for church, does that mean your not going to "hell".... humm!!! How's all that devoted religion worked out for you? Let me guess, your life's perfect. You've never experience pain, sadness, and heartache?????? Yeah, in your dreams!!! The moral of the story is, that I believe that no matter what your faith, it's ok. Everyone, believes in something. It gives us hope, because then maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I know that this is all my opinion, but "in my opinion"... there is no hell. I believe all the happiness, sadness, pain, sorrow that we go through here on earth is hell. Oh, it isn't important to "save" those around you, what makes some people believe they can save others, when they can't even save themselves. It is however, ok to lend a helping hand. Because, lets face it, some people just get the short end of the stick, and might need a helping hand.

Answer 3

No offense to any religion, but yeah, why can't religion just stay inside someone, like don't worry about your "afterlife" which is logically ridiculous anyways. Don't concern your religion with other ones. They can believe what they want and so can you, but still, I just don't get religion. Think about it, religion exists because we humans want an answer for everything. Well sorry, but there isn't. The universe wasn't created by the omnipitent power, and who said everything had a beginning and end anyways (like the universe), pathetic human philosophy.

Answer 4

John 14:6 Jesus says "I am they way the Truth and the Life. No one come to the Father but by Me!"

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Matthew 7:13

Hell is very real.

Revelation 21:8 says "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

I suggest you look at the Ten Commandments, then repent and believe in Jesus...otherwise you'll spend eternity in hell. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance and read and OBEY your Bible!

Answer 5

Sure.... Hell is having to read these posts by those who try to convert us that go on an on with pages of cut-and-past scripture trying to convince us that they are right.

Other than that particular hell, there isn't one. I believe in what is called the Summerlands, where all go inbetween incarnations. I don't believe in any "faith-in-a-box" religion where one person has it all pre-packaged for convenient consumption. I think we're all here to live and to learn and to die and to do it all again.

Answer 6

Why does it have to be so BLACK AND WHITE? If you are this religion you go to Heaven you are this religion you go to Hell. The dinosaurs didn’t have a religion did they go to hell? No they didn’t. So, no, people of other religions are not going to hell, there is not one right religion. This reminds me of that South Park episode when Cartman was creating his own religion and a man died in his church and when he went to Hell the people there asked, why am I in hell I was a good Protestant and the Hell coordinator said, the right religion was Mormons and only Mormons went to heaven. Who knows maybe we all have to be Mormons to get into heaven. *lol ;)

Answer 7

No hell. No punishment. No reward. No need to "save' (browbeat into submission) anyone at all.

Silly rabbit, those things are for Abrahamic monotheists!

I'm a Pagan!

Answer 8

Islam
Muslims believe in jahannam (in Arabic: جهنم) (which is similar to Hebrew ge-hinnom and resembles the versions of hell in other Abrahamic religions). In the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, there are literal descriptions of the condemned in a fiery Hell, as contrasted to the garden-like Paradise enjoyed by righteous believers.

The meaning of jahannam is to do with hotness (whereas in Hebrew Gehenna is said to mean a narrow deep valley). The word for paradise is jannah which means garden.

In addition, Heaven and Hell are split into many levels depending on the actions taken in life, where punishment is given depending on the level of evil done in life, and good is separated into other levels depending on how well one followed God (Arabic: Allah) while alive.

There is an equal number of mentions of both hell and paradise in the Qur'an.

The Qur'an also says that some of those who are damned to hell are not damned forever, but instead for an indefinite period of time. When Judgement Day comes, the formerly damned will be judged as to whether or not they may enter into Paradise. In any case, there is good reason to believe that punishment in Hell is not meant to actually last eternally, but instead serves as a basis for spiritual rectification.[1]

Main article: Hell in Christian beliefs
Most Christians see hell as the eternal punishment for unrepentant sinners, as well as for the Devil and his demons. Virtuous unbelievers (such as pagans or members of divergent Christian denominations) are said to deserve hell on account of original sin, and even unbaptized infants are sometimes said to be damned. Exceptions, however, are often made for those who have failed to accept Jesus Christ but have extenuating circumstances (youth, not having heard the Gospel, mental illness, etc.). As opposed to the concept of Purgatory, damnation to hell is considered final and irreversible. Various interpretations of the torment of hell exist, ranging from fiery pits of wailing sinners to lonely isolation from God's presence. Dante's The Divine Comedy is a classic inspiration for modern images of hell. Most Christians believe that damnation occurs immediately upon death (particular judgment), others that it occurs after Judgment Day. Attitudes toward hell and damnation have softened over the centuries (for example, see Limbo), and several Christian denominations reject the traditional concept of hell altogether (see Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Unitarian-Universalists, and Universalists

I think the best thing I can ask you is " If your friends and family are in a burning building and didn't know it wouldn't you tell them? The only thing you can do is tell them and then its up to them whether or not to get out before its to late.
