is going to wait until some future time to decide who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell?
He has told us that the decisision has already been made.
Check it out:
Jhn 3:18 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.
Let me paraphrase: EVERYONE is condemned already. God says we ALL deserve Hell. BUT, if anyone repents and trusts Christ, then God will save that person.
Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Get it?

We need Christ if we want to go to Heaven.

Does that mean everyone from Adam all the way to Malachi are now burning in brimstone and fire? Since there was no Christ to accept.
Does that also mean the non-chosen people of God of the ancient world civilizations, all also went to hell... eg. Egyptians, Aborigines, American Natives, Nordics, Orientals that live no where near the middle east... are they doomed to burn in eternal strife as well? I mean even AFTER Christ arrived on earth, took several hundred years before the message reached them...
There must be MORE to the Grand Creator than such a flawed design

well that is the bible. i believe in islam i am an ex christian. god gives us the chance in life. god has given us a set of rules to live by which in the end have been proven to work. health wise mentally, even enviromentally. life is a test. we either pass it or we fail it. we choose to follow the pillars of islam (at least in my belief) or we do not. only god knows our fait what ever that might be. i guess it would come under the same thing is we are not given our time of death because it would be unfair to human kind. people would never want to do anything good in this world because they would feel what is the point they are gong to die around this time. one way to help you look at it is why is it we humans have children? why do we keep bringing lives into this corrupt world. how are we supposed to explain our reasons for this. some for pleasure in this life others do it by accident, but what ever the reason we keep having children just because we feel like it. same thing for god. we were created because god felt like creating humanity.

Why do people have the mis-conception that the bible is some cosmic truth in a "one size fits all" religion that is focused on death, damnation and destruction? Well it is not for me and mine. We choose life and love instead of that horrible fiction written by poverty stricken, bronze age goat herders who merely copied ancient pagan myths.

I'm on the highway to hell. What does God's wrath feel like? I hope it feels like big fluffy feathers.
