Yes, to get to be washed clean of your sins you must accept Jesus as your savior. We are forgiven because he died for us, he was a man with out sin tempted by the devil n' flesh and overcame both without sin, then he fulfilled his purpose by laying down his life for us sinners, and God brought him back to life to fulfill the prophecies in the Bible and to give us a chance to be forgiven if we believe in Jesus.

regardless of belief- it is a moot point- imagine a track shaped like a circle , when would you reach the end- it is a closed loop and so you keep going round and round in circles- ask yourself- how many people do you know have come back from either heaven or hell, where is heaven and where is hell?? . it' s a question of your own belief- do you or don't you believe- or are you the sort of person who needs an incentive to do good or alternatively to refrain from doing bad, like the prospect of heaven and hell- the whole carrot thing, if you do good i feed you the carrot or heaven, if you do bad i beat you with the stick and hell. personally it is rather trite, this is the 21st century if you haven't figured out the difference between good, bad, right and wrong, light and dark etc by now then you should pay more attention.

Worshiping the created, rather then the creator is idolatry. Read the Torah (5 books of Moses) God is ONE. "He is not man nor the son of man." (Numbers 23:19)
Did you really think that if you didn't believe in some dude that lived thousands of years ago, and for simply being the person god created you to be you deserve to be eternally punished? thats absurd. Jesus is not the messiah. he failed literally everything the messiah is required to do according to Torah (5 books of Moses)
Your sins are forgiven through Atonement. between you and god. nobody else. everyone goes to heaven. although the wicked require purification. You don't require any conversion of any kind.
If you want to live a righteous life follow the 7 Noahide laws, and study the Torah.

No, if you downright didn't believe this and you didn't believe God sent him to save us you would. Try to look at it like this. God is Jesus incarnated. God is love. By extension Jesus is also love. If you have not Jesus you don't have true love. You could go your whole life and think that what you did was helping them, but what is more important-their moods or the final resting place of their soul? Works do not and never will determine who God lets into heaven. By denying his son you have denied Him, His love and everything He stands for. If you really think it is all a fairytale though why are you even here on Earth? What is the meaning of life then?

No. Any so-called "good thing" that you may do, would not remove the penalty for your sin. Imagine a mudrerer on trial saying to the judge " Yes, your honor, I did murder that person, but I've also done many good things for people every day. I've even saved some lives, so doesn't that make up for me taking one life?"
The judge is not going to consider any good deeds of the murderer, they are irrelevant. If he is guilty of murder, he must be punished.
You may not have murdered anyone, but you have sinned against God; and "The soul that sins shall surely die."
The wages of sin is death. God is not interested in your good deeds, to him they are repulsive. ( See Isaiah 64:6)
You need a savior, someone willing and able to be your substitute and die in your place. Jesus Christ is the one and only acceptable substitute because of His sinless life. He died in your place, and rose from the dead. If you will belive that, God will pardon your sins; if you don't, He won't.

there are things called rewards. if you don't beleive in Jesus and aren't reborn in him you will go to hell, but God and Christ will judge you on how good you have been in life to decide how bad of a hell you should have, same with Christians, except with Christians it is how many crowns in heaven we will wear. Feel free to email me about it. Go in Christ

Yes you would go to hell. In the bible it says you can not come into the presence of God without your sins forgiven. And the only way to forgive sins is to have a sacrifice for those sins in your place. For years it was Animals, but God made one final sacrifice for your sins, and that was His Son Jesus Christ. And if you do not accept His sacrifice, then you can not come into the presence of God, and the only other place is eternal darkness and seperation from Jesus Christ. And there will be weeping and knashing of teeth in that place.

Usually, people who do good things get some hints about what they lack to be perfect. It's up to them to do the rest.
This doesn't mean I can give you a straight answer, because God is Judge, and a good one. People are not requested things that are not up to them. However, what is true of people who don't know the Gospel, who live perhaps in some distant places where they never see a Christian, is not true of people who know the Gospel and reject it.

You would NOT go to hell. The best religion is the one that brings you closest to g-d, and g-ds rule is to love others as you would love yourself or higher than that, and to help others, and it seems that you possess those qualities/rules. I'd say you'll be in heaven.

I think that if you read the parableof the Good Samaritan, your thoughts on this might clear up and understand that at the time ofjesus, Samaritans were known for worshiping a stone idol
