Does the Bible say anything about what specific sins can send you to hell? One sin in particular I wonder about is pre-marital sex. There are so many people out there who have pre-marital sex including myself. I'm worried I will go to hell for it. I am a good person otherwise, so I wonder if God would forgive me if I am a good person at heart even if I sinned or have pre-marital sex.

According to the bible we are all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God. Any sin can keep us from heaven. That is why God sent his son Jesus to earth. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16. Basically, it doesn't matter how much you sin if you accept Jesus as your personal savior and recognize that he died on the cross to save you from the consequences of your on sin you will go to heaven. Once you accept Jesus into your heart you will want to stop sinning out of respect but you will still sin because your human. When you do sin you need to sincerely ask for forgiveness and Jesus will forgive you. Do not worry about going to heaven. Accept Jesus into your heart and you will go! I am going to pray for you. If you want to pray with me for your salvation please feel free to email me and also find a local church and they can help you too.

According to the Bible, just EXISTING is enough to send you to Hell, what with the concept of original sin and all. It would seem that your only means of escape is to accept Christ into your life. Hard cheese to swallow, perhaps, but there it is.
I never believed that pre-marital sex was especially more sinful in nature than anything else, but I DO believe, however, that pre-marital sex can seriously complicate and mess up whatever relationship you're in. So far, none of my non-virgin friends are able to disprove my theory.

If you don't accept Jesus and and do as he says in the Bible I'm afraid it's possible to end up in hell for even one sin. You must be saved by asking Jesus to save you. You should not keep having pre-marital sex though. Even after getting saved though we still struggle with sin. If you are in love with your partner you should get married so you won't be fornicating anymore. Even the simplest sins can send a person to hell like lying, stealing, and unforgiveness. Just ask Jesus to save you and try your best and you should be fine.

Only one sin is unforgivable and that is to question the Holy Spirit. anything else is forgivable. Murder, rape, genocide, Robbery, and preemptive war are all forgivable according to the bible, but such a horrible thing as thinking for yourself will condemn you to hell. But on the bright side, pretty much all sins in the bible all share the same punishment: DEATH. For Pre-marital sex, well, on your wedding night, if you're not a virgin, then the Bible instructs your husband to stone you to death and leave your body on your father's door step. I'm not joking.. the Bible says that. enjoy your religion! if you actually would like to think for yourself, there's always atheism.

The only thing that sends a man to hell is his unbelief in Jesus Christ , If you have asked him to be your LORD and Savior then you are saved by the Blood of Jesus plus nothing , Your sins are forgiving past present and future ,Its hard to believe but thats the facts , Read John 3:16 For God So loved the World that Whosoever believeth on Him shall have eternal Life

Yes all of that, but you need to be sorry for your sin, change your ways, (have no more pre marital sex) Confess your sin, and get absolution. God will forgive ,God is merciful and kind.

All sins are the same in the eyes of God. Being a "good person will not save you. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life, no one goes to the Father but through me." If you believe that Jesus is God's true son and your Lord and Savior, then all of your sins will be forgiven. After Jesus healed the man with leparosy he told the man to go and sin no more. Being a good peson is more of a testomony to friends, then a key to Heaven

Unbelief is the only sin that will send you to hell. If you are sincere and ask forgiveness about the sex and don't do it again, He will forgive you. A lot of people think you can just keep doing it and ask forgiveness each time and that's not how it works.

All of them. According to the Bible, all sins are equal, so if you want to have pre-marital sex, you may as well go kill a thousand people.
Or does killing a thousand people count as a thousand sins? Maybe kill one for each time you want to have pre-marital sex. . . .

The word sin in it's original context meant separate. It is not something we do. It is something we are. We are born into sin as we are born separated from our source (aka:God). Our behavior is a side effect of that. God knows this (we have already been forgiven)... forgive yourself of anything you believe you may have done and focus on the true issue, reconnecting with God.
