It is every living thing on this planets ultimate destiny to die.
If you are a good person you will be a great advantage for this world and yourself.
There is no one who actually knows what happens to us after complete death.
No Church leader would even profess to know exactly what the process is. But we all have our faith, our hopes and our beliefs to help us through that time.
Hell is like Heaven it is what you believe it is.
As no one has ever come back from either place and told us.
This is where your faith and trust come in.
You can just be supportive and set an example to others,and more power to you for it.
But I do not think it right to try and get others to believe in exactly what we do.
You had it right when you said ,"we have to believe for ourselves".
Each individual has the right to follow thier own path.So unless they directly ask for your opinion or guidence, then I have found it is best to keep our opiions to ourselves.

I think the best thing for anyone to do is just give it a chance. Read the New International Version of the New Testament if you have trouble understanding the King James Version. If you want to have eternal life, all you have to do is accept Jesus as Savior. All of us Christians know that we are sinners. That is one thing we are taught in the New Testament. If a person does not realize he is a sinner, then he is not a Christian, because that is one of the things you have to do before you can get saved, is to accept the fact that you are a sinner. But I believe everyone should read the N.T. for themselves and find out the answers for themselves. You can read the Old Testament later, if you want to. Everyone should not really be arguing over the Old Testament now, until they have read the whole N.T. first, then argue if they still want to. But please just read it for yourself. Then you will understand a lot of things about life.

fresh: Firstly; the "hell" teaching is not plausible when you study the Bible. I challenge you to do some real "roll up your sleeves" research into this and not just believe it - "because somebody told me it was true". I am a Christian and can tell you that the "hell" doctrine was an invention of people not God ! Yes; it is appointed for all of mankind to die [physically], ONCE, because of Adam's sin but be made alive again because of Jesus Christ ( at His return to earth ) . Jesus is referred to as the "Second Adam" [spiritual] ! You do not have to convince anyone that Jesus is their Savior (unless asked) since God will "call" those to Him, He wants to have a relationship with Him [Jesus] now. Yes; since they are human - they will die a physical death too.

Everyone's destiny is to die. That is only one aspect though. If you caring can save someone's soul I am sure God sees that as positive.
There is a big difference between predestination and knowing what the outcome will be.

You have a choice ; You can either repent now and avoid the rush and the long queues on 'Doomsday', or You can get on with Your life, enjoy growing up, learning about life and love, getting a good education, having some success in Your life and just basically being at peace with Yourself. Which would You choose?

anyone who doesnt except Jesus Christ as savior will go to hell. No matter how religious or generous one is or how much they give to charity, hell will be full of good people with good intentions because they didnt do what was required to go to heaven. sort of like a person who could be a good nurse, but if they don't complete nursing school, they won't be able to get a job at the hospital.

I really have no idea what you're talking about.
The only thing that is inevitable is death!!
There's no such place as hell.
If you try hard to make people believe in jesus, people will get pissed off.
Yes, keep your believing to yourself!!!

God knows the intentions of the hearts of men even before they are born, yet out of hope and love He created us and to be holy, perfect and righteous the faithful and the unfaithful had to be created alike such as Cain and Abel.
If you choose to serve the Lord in all that you do and according to His word, you shall surely serve Him forever after the resurrection, yet if you choose to forsake Him, he shall surely forsake you and you shall be eternally condemned after the resurrection.

It's more about staying on the parched, war trotten Earth.
There is a Book of Life and if your name is in it you stay with God in a much nicer place. If you follow the wrong people and things and aren't a very good person, your name maybe not be in the book and you go back out, down, whereever to the place where you came from and stay there.

okay we've got some crazy answer but heh everyone is entitled to their own opion.Well I say keep trying in the bible it says you will be persecuted for even speaking the lords name.But you have to keep trying sinners don't like to hear it b/c they know there doing wrong they know it.So when you say hey their a better way to live your life and tha's living for Jesus,people reject that but you can't give up that's when the end will come when humanity gives up on each other.Jesus sacrificed his life for thousands of souls so we need to step up to the plate and get some more souls for jesus.Stay strong bro and keep the faith
