Will people who do voluntary work and try to help others in thier lives go to hell if they reject God? -People who care, love, respect and try their best to understand others.
If you believe this -Have you protested against this to God?

Well it depends on what you believe...other people can only tell you their own opinions. Personally, I'm not sure that I believe in hell so I don't think they would. But even if hell does exist I don't think that people like that would go there simply because they don't believe in God. People don't choose what they believe in...you can't help it. And everyone should be tolerant of each others beliefs and I think God is almost certainly included in that. If He wasn't even capable of tolerating other's beliefs then what would that say about Him?!

No. Good people do not go to hell . The bible does not teach that. Read Matthew 25: 31-46. That should explain it. Nowhere in the Bible, when it talks about hell does it ever say good people go there. Anyone who does the things you said is not really rejecting God, they just don't understand who God really is.

if you believe in the Bible first off most would say yes to that then. because unless you confess that Jesus is the son of God you cant get into the kingdom of God. as well as many other things. and that just because you are a good person does not make you get into heaven. there was a very good man who still went to hell and begged God to send someone back to warn his friends and family. he was a good man but did not believe.
now there is a second side to this as well. i am not going to say yes or no to your question. because first you need to read the Bible and ask God to show you the truth. second the Bible says i am not to judge who is going to heaven or hell. yes for myself i dont believe just because you are a good person but dont believe in God that you will go to heaven. but that is myself and as i said i dont know who makes it and does not. for there can be many in the church who go to church that might not make it because they were living a lie. and i may think they did make it. that is between the person and God.

Read Romans 3: There is no one who is 'good'. Every person on earth, except Jesus, has broken the law at one time or another. Now read James. Anyone who is guilty of breaking one part of the law is guilty of breaking the entire law. The punishment for breaking the law is death. This is something all of us deserve. All of us will physically die, but those who are declared righteous by God, by the sovereign gift of God through faith, will avoid the second death and eternal punishment.

. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.

People who do good from their heart have not rejected God. They reject the religious order that attempts to control humanity in the name of God. Understand yourself first.

We have a different standard of what good is than God has. He has given us the "rules" but people choose to be disobedient and disrespectful to Him.
He says "If you love me you WILL keep my commandments"...Revelation tells us that those who keep his commandments have the right to the tree of life and to enter the gates of heaven.
Most believe we do not have to keep them because we cannot and they are done away with..but that is another story.....
People can do all sorts of good deeds..they can act so wonderful..but only God knows what is in their heart and whether they have truly obeyed Him out of Love.
He tells us who qualify for hell...He gives us all every chance to read over and over in scripture what we must become..
With prayer, repentance, changing etc, we CAN become cleaner....God can make our sins white as snow..and He does..every time we ask Him to forgive us....there is no need to go to hell...
But many will..because they claim to love Him yet do not obey Him.
So, although many seem good people to us..in God's eyes they may not be...
Only He knows who will go where...we have time now to prepare for eternity..

um yeah you'll go to Hell if you reject God. If you reject God then you're pretty much saying that there is no heaven so ya know what's the point...you really have no other place to go.

I would protest if there was a reason to, but since there is no God, and no Hell, what there is to complain about?
