Simply take a moment to think about the following statement:
"Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my love. But if you do not get down on your knees and worship me, and if you do not EAT MY BODY and DRINK MY BLOOD, then I WILL INCINERATE YOU WITH UNIMAGINABLY TORTUOUS PAIN IN THE FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!"
Yes, this is the central message of Christianity. See John 6:53-54 and Mark 16:16.
Think about this message. We have a being who, according to the Standard Model of God, embodies love. Yet, if you do not get down on your knees and worship him, you will be physically tortured for all eternity. What sort of love is that?
The utter silliness and contradiction of Jesus' core message should make it obvious to you: God is imaginary.

you have have been given it - considering that definitely anybody, then, could flow to hell simply by fact we'd have carried out even the smallest sin in our existence - it is not proper simply by fact Jesus has provided forgiveness already. - so it is not unfair simply by fact the comparable present is provided to anybody. sure a sin is a sin whether enormous or small Blasphemy could be forgived once you make an apology as long as you attempt to not do it lower back. Suicide - not too particular - how are you able to repent when you die :O to respond to your significant question: sin makes us stay in hell simply by fact it separates us from God. Heaven is a hundred% holy so a sprint sin (like a blob of paint) is only 'incompatitble' with holiness. God is holy and can't associate himself with sin. it rather is the only element He would be unable to do. and for this reason we are separated - simply by fact we can't flow to heaven we flow there. the only element which could restoration our courting with Him - and for this reason 'reearn' our thank you to heaven is for Jesus to DIE and take our place

The way you ask your question it sounds like you have rock solid proof that heaven,hell, and god exist. But until you can prove to me that they do exist I won't repent. Life is to short to waste it living it for someone or something that can't be proven.

In order to repent you have to realize that what you are doing is wrong and when you do you question everything that is you including your pride and belief however false it may be. When we're taught from a young age we're programmed to accept that answer only and when someone else shows you otherwise its as if everything you believed in all of a sudden is a lie.

It's a good thing that hell, like heaven, Oz and Narnia are all fictional places. Based in imagination and fantasy and not in reality.
Because not ONE person has EVER been able to provide one single shred of credible evidence to support the existence of heaven, hell or god.
But since threats are all you have to rely on, by all means, continue to make a fool of yourself.

Honey, Hell isn't a place. It's a state of mind.
Instead of worrying about living for God, why don't you just concentrate on being a nice person and enjoying your life.
Life is complicated enough already.

Some people don't believe in heaven or hell. Some don't even believe in the afterlife. Others don't think there is a God that will condemn them after their death.

Because not everyone believes that your god exists. Why would you repent to an imaginary being?

because Jesus is not the only way to God, therefore those who say he is would think that everyone who doesnt believe in Jesus is going to hell, whereas those who follow other religions know that they have found God in those religions as well.
