Are you glad sinners are going to hell? Why?

Question

Does it make you fell superior because you are going to heaven and they are going to hell?

to the sheik: I believe a lot of people are glad and do feel superior and that is a very unchristian attitude.

ok. I'll put "sinners" in quotes.

Answer 1

First of all...we are all sinners... second of all...check this out from the bible.

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

(Luke 18: 9-14)

Answer 2

I believe that the reason people do bad things begins w/ insecurities. After that you start hating yourself then you start get mad, then you start hating others, then you think everyone is against you, then thats when you could have the potential to hurt or kill another human being. Most people are in control of themselves, but there are some who deep down belive they are not. That's where a human being gets into trouble. Having this thought is only the beging of a chain reaction. Anyways, I could go on and on, but I do feel that when we die all are insecurities are gone therefore when you have passed you do not hate ANYONE and you finally understand the soul. I do NOT believe that anyone goes to hell. I believe that if your souls is on fire to the max here on earth, you may take yourself to a pace you think is hell after you pass.

Answer 3

First of all, nobody knows who is going to heaven and who is not. Second, read Luke 18: 9-14 and tell me who is better, nobody can ever say I am good. That is pride, let others tell you what you are, most of the time it is not good things. Is easier for a man to see the other persons mistake and not look at his own. Many 'christians' may go to hell because instead of showing Gods love, they are trying to change people with men's moral-ism.

Answer 4

You know, according to a few religions, you would be going to hell for smugness and believing that you are superior based of what you believe. Either way, hell sounds more fun because it's gonna be filled with those who aren't ignorant and didn't waste their lives saying "oh invisible thing who's only proof of existence is in some many-thousand year old texts you are so wonderful and great and I love you and I have morals because you command it, etc". I mean seriously, heaven could only possibly be filled with babies because everyone has had bad thoughts in their lives before (toddlers whine when their toys get taken away, and that's selfishness, i.e. a sin no?)

Answer 5

someone who is feeling superior is probably going to the same place, and sinning just as much, anyone knows, God does not have pleasure in the death of the wicked" "but that all should come to repentance and be saved" so feeling glad does not enter in to this, people who are feeling glad must be living in some mean spirited road houses somewhere

Answer 6

No I am not happy that anyone is going to Hell! I do not feel superior! Does this surprise you? If yes then you really don't know a thing about Christians!

Answer 7

Well, no, because we are all sinners, and not everyone is going to hell, so your question is invalid.

People think there superior no matter what, we live in a selfish world. Another way to think of it is that many people are also self consious, and think that the way to validate themselves is to make themselves bigger and better than everyone else.

Christianitly teaches that we are all sinners, but if we repent and ask for forgivness, it is forgiven.

God is the only one who can judge us and decide whether we are meant for hell or heaven

Answer 8

No, a true Christian would want everyone to go to Heaven. Even the worst of blasphemer. Just because Im a Christian doesnt mean that I am perfect or superior to anyone. It just means that Im forgiven for my sins because Jesus died on the cross for me. And you. And you. And you. God bless and much love.

Answer 9

yes i am glad
the only other option being to feel sad
what is your hell is heaven to others

there is no hell nor heaven its only our own judgment call that would dare label the millions of rooms in my fathers houase so loosly called heaven and hell

know that some men judge this reallity to be heaven
others say here is hell
its thier own judgements
basicclly what we love there we go
love to murder you go to the place of those who also love to murder
there you and they can eternally enjoin murder ammoung your selves
its spitit on spirit
all real life and no death relief[enjoy]
some would call that hell
but where else you gonna send our killers ,or our racists ,our righteous
those who hurt ,those who love to heal
its all a determination
a judgement of bias that calls it heaven or hell
it is and im not sad that this is so
im not happy either
to me it just is so
no judgment
a judgment means your mind is made up /seized up into no further seeing.

Answer 10

no ...it is sad, there is a wonderful place they could go instead and you have to put God first that is the only thing standing between them and heaven. the bible says that very few will enter heaven that it is like a camel going through the eye of a needle so i will be very grateful if i make it in i would never feel proud
