If you believe non-Christians go to Hell, and God is always just, doesn't that make you a party to His crime?

Question

If you see nothing wrong with non-believers roasting in Hell, shouldn't you have the honesty to say "I approve of this, I claim God's action as if it were my own"? Instead of pretending you're somehow not going along with it, backing Him up on it? The Germans who supported Hitler during WWII were a party to his crimes, even if they didn't personally built the gas chambers or load the Jews and other minorities inside... THEY WERE GUILTY, and YOU are guilty if you say of His deeds, "This is right"...

Answer 1

I don't believe that. God would not make billionsof people, knowing that he was going to condemn them to hell.

Hell is a concept stolen from norse mythology, after the goddess Hel, also called Hella, who guarded the underworld. Also, hell and Satan did not show up in the bible until about 800 AD. It's simply a tool used to control the masses.

And to condemn anyoneto hell is to put yourself on the same level as God. Which none of us are and none of us know his judgment for others.

Answer 2

If an action is just, it cannot possibly also be considered criminal.

However, if you meant that Christians should agree with God's plans and purposes for the world, sinners and saints non-withstanding, then the answer is yes.

I am not sure if Christians are in any position to claim God's actions as their own. But there is the other way of acknowledging their agreement with God and that is through obedience and submission - two words that seem really archaic in today's cultural discourse.

So Christians should also call sin what God calls sin and be reconciled with God's revelation that the result of sin is inevitably death.

I suppose they could also kick up a big fuss and try to 'question' God's purposes and plans. But that would be putting themselves on par with God, a position where angels fear to tread.

Answer 3

I see, war4thelord. You're one of those who backs you God on something even if you think it may be wrong or unjust.

Unless you really do think it's just and are just playing concerned to keep from looking bad.

I can't count the number of times Christians have told me I was going to hell and subsequently described in salivating detail what was going to happen to me for my unbelief in their celestial tyrant. They've struck me as actually HOPING to see SOMEONE get tossed into hell, seemingly enjoying the notion of people who disagreed with them being tortured FOREVER without end. Such a notion is not loving, not right, and certainly not just by any stretch of the imagination.

But hey: The Nazis thought what they were doing was a good thing...

Answer 4

I don't believe non Christian go to Hell. I don't understand why we factioned off the religions in the first place. It's like we're all in line based on who God loves best or something.

I'm curious to know who's started labeling all of us. From what I've read, it seems like a lot of religions began by someone leaving a church and starting their own. Christianity evolved from Judaism in a way. Christ was Jewish and he started preaching something different and had followers, hence Christianity. But that doesn't mean Judaism is wrong. It's just a different point of view.

Yours is a good question though. I'm going to pose it to my mom.

Answer 5

Jeremiah 7:30 ‘For the sons of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes,’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘They have set their disgusting things in the house upon which my name has been called, in order to defile it. 31 And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’

If burning children is detestable in God's eyes, why would he create a place of fiery torment? No he didnt, the teaching of hell as a fiery torment was from false religion who sow fear in the hearts of people to convert them.

I chose a loving God over a terrorizing one.

Answer 6

God has done no crime. He is the creator and the maker and he makes the rules. Follow them or not that is your right, but it is His right to send you to hell if you deny Him or Jesus.

Answer 7

I don't believe all non Christians will go to hell, neither do I believe that all Christians will go to heaven. Only those who do His will will go to heaven. Many Christians will be surprised when the are refused entrance to heaven.

Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

It does not say that only Christians will go to heaven, in fact many Christians will not go to heaven. Only whose who want to do His will are stop being lawless, or in other words, obey His law or commandments. Those who do not want to obey His law, or do His will, are not allowed to enter heaven because they will feel miserable there and will cause the others who will do it become miserable. So they will be returned to their origin which is dust or earth. I don't blieve they will roast forever. That is the lie of the devil. The Bible very plainly says that the wicked or sinners will die, not living forever in torment or being roasted without ending. Of course, if God is going to roast people forever, He is a monster and He is not just. But that is not what God is. In His mercy He allows us to choose. To live happily forever in heaven in obedience to His law, or be returned to dust, and don't feel anything more forever.

Even in the world today, people who do not want to obey the rules of the country, will cause trouble and misery to those citizens who obey the law. So they are put in prison, or if they are incorrigible, in some countries they are put to sleep, or die.
That is justice. But roasting people forever in hell fire, that is injustice, unfair and monster-like. And that is not the teaching of the Bible.

Answer 8

God is law incapable of crime.

Matthew 7:22-23 KJV

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Yes, this is right!

Answer 9

Pshaw! Look non-christians and christians go to hell. It's not our judgement to make, but if one wants to follow the path that God gave us, be a Christian.

Answer 10
