Religious people -- Do you think that all people who do not share your beliefs will be condemned to hell?

Answer 1

My beliefs have nothing to do with whether or not some one goes to hell.

It has to do with the teachings of God and Jesus.
it has to do with faith.
It has to do with what God says not what I say.

Answer 2

In any meaningful discussion we must first define our terms so that we can talk about the same thing. Thus, we must first define hell and then examine what are the common beliefs.
Hell is more a state of being than a geographic location. Hell is when the person you became meets the person you should have been. In other words, most of us do not meet up to expectations from God or from ourselves for that matter. Thus, we are filled with remorse for our own shortcomings. When those missed expectations are of such a nature to halt or damn our spiritual progress, then we feel ourselves in the bitterness of hell. Only the full repentance process and subsequent forgiveness can release us from that state of torment.
Now, do those who disagree with me fall into that category? Not necessarily. Only if they share my same beliefs in the first place. In other words, how can a person be condemned for not living up to expectations if they never had those expectations presented to them in the first place? Secondly, why should I place myself in the position of eternal arbiter when I already know that I have fallen way short of God's expectations for me in this life? Thus, since I am not without sin, I will not condemn anybody to hell on account of their not meeting my belief standards. That judgment is ultimately for God and Christ to give, nobody else.
All I can do is proclaim to you and to anybody else that my beliefs satisfy me and I believe they will satisfy you as well if you would give them a chance.

Answer 3

No, 'cause I'm not perfect and it's not my beliefs that'll get you to heaven or hell. If someone wants and acts like someone who truly wants to go to heaven, then they'll have that chance. People that never heard about Jesus aren't going to be excluded for that reason. As a Catholic I believe that even an 'evil' person would be forgiven in the last minuets of his life if he's truly sorry. Because there's so many variables, the only factual conclusion is that if a person's truly sorry for their sins, and makes an effort to avoid any more, then they'll go to heaven.

Answer 4

Your question does not make sense, but I'll tell you what I would say. First of all, I'm a Christian, not a "religious person". Jesus clearly said that the only way to heaven is through him. And hell is real. There's no way to break that down to make it less true, or to make it so that u can 'get away' with the most stuff. Life on earth is a test. a test of love. this is your chance to live and love! or else yes, life without Jesus does equal hell--eternal suffering. I'm just saying what Jesus said. Your choice to believe it or not

Answer 5

I am not a religous person.
I am a Christian.
people send themselves to Hell, having heard the truth but denying it.
religion "per se" is of very little importance.
what is important is YOUR personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
don't get hung up on "religion".
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Answer 6

No. For one, I don't believe in the Judeo-Christian concept of "hell", and for another, I think that everyone walks their own path. As long as they are spiritually fulfilled, and are not hurting others or restricting the rights of others to practice their own faith, it's no concern of mine what their beliefs are.

Answer 7

No, because in my religion there is no hell and there is no condemnation of those who believe differently.

Answer 8

regrettably in the U. S. you have this entire thought approximately "Freedom of faith", which permits all varieties of prejudice and bigotry to ensue on the inspiration that it includes someones religious ideals, which curiously are previous complaint. i think of you may take yet another crack on the completed "separation of church and state" element. I undergo in ideas listening to a pair of pupil who exchange into banned variety wearing a t-blouse that mentioned "Abortion is homicide! Islam is a lie! Homosexuality is a sin!" and ended up suing his college and triumphing. Freaking ridiculous.

Answer 9

No.

Lots of interpretations, but as long as they are Jewish they are saved under old covenant.

If they are not Jewish, you can be saved through new covenant (Jesus)

If you NEVER heard of Jesus ever in your life, I think you get a choice at the door.

If you heard of Him and reject Him, its HELL for you!

Answer 10
