The only crime that matters is not accepting Jesus in your heart! Boo-yah!

I'm from South Africa, and since they took away the death penalty, our jails are overfilled to about 200%. Murderers and rapists walk around freely, doing the same thing over and over again. We are actually sinning by not doing what the Word tells us, but the word also states that you have to obide by the laws of your country. The reality is that this world needs to go through all of this so that the Prophecies will come true (Armageddon). And when judgement day comes, well, we will have to stand before Him.

If you are a sinner or commit a crime that you have not been punished for on Earth then you would go to the lower realms in Heaven the 7 layers of 7 layers and so on so I would say there is 7 layers of the lower realm depending on the sins
We are living in Hell here on Earth what else could you call it with all this hatred, violence, and killing
And not excepting Jesus in your heart is not a sin
Thats is why God gave us free Will to think for ourselves
To question and search for our own truth : )
The main thing we have to except in our hearts is Love first for ourselves then for everyone else
Love & Blessings

Ever heard of "Karma"? Those philosophies that believe in reincarnation (and a huge percentage of them do) know that those who deliberately and willfully harm others end up paying - one way or another.
Whether you believe you will come back in another life or not, you might want to note that those who have been through "Near Death Experiences" have reported that one of the first things they encountered after leaving their bodies was a "Life Review". In this experience, they "relived" their whole life up to that point, and experienced EVERYTHING negative that they did TO or positive that they did FOR anyone else from that other person's perspective!!!
Given that this is true, even Jesus, himself, would have felt the lashes of the whip he used to drive the money-lenders out fo the temple with in HIS 'life review'.
Then, after that, if they were not sent back here to life again, they went on to various forms of spiritual rehabilitation.

There is more than just accepting Jesus into your heart. Man can not make it off of Good Deeds alone either.
They both go hand in hand
God will punish all to the way He sees fit.

That's the only crime that matters?! So, in your opinion, I am a worse person than the BTK killer, who butchered an entire family after torturing them, but was also leader of his lutheran church. According to you, he's an upstanding citizen.
That's insane.

Hell has nothing to do with sin and crimes. Sin and crimes come from choices that we as humans made.God gave us choices.

Dude, you need to be quiet, your making us look bad. not to mention your scriptural standing is unbelievably weak, considering God commanded that certain crimes (including rape and murder) be dealt with by killing the criminal.

"Crime" is a human concept and thus can only be enforced by humans.

Everyone will get their punishment on Judgment day.
