should believe in Jesus, so I only believed in God? I didn't want to be part of this group of hell-raisers who had nothing positive to say about heaven other than threatening people with hell!

My pastor said something about this the other day in church that rang true to me. If you allow a hypocrit to seperate you from God, the hypocrit is standing closer to Him than you are. We have to look past them and focus on God. All religions have people who are messing up. In Christianity we are forgiven of all sins including being confused and confusing others, or lying. Fake worship would indicate they are not true believers, but we are forgiven of falso worship, so God I believe God would say you didn't do your part in searching Him out and reading His Word. But I am not God, and it is not for me to say. I can tell you what the bible says God has promised and I know God is Holy so there is no way He can break His promise. But the bible also teaches there are levels to condemnation so, maybe this would be a grey area for Him. He will know what is in your heart.

So what if 'Christianity' is full of liars and 'fake worshippers' ... because Christianity is not about 'everyone doing the same thing' but it is about EACH PERSON WORSHIPPING Jesus Christ, who 'died for (all of) our sins' and thus we don't have to 'do time' for them before we can 'go to Heaven.' It's fine that you 'don't want to be part of this group of hell-raisers who had nothing positive' to say, but by NOT BELIEVING IN JESUS you are throwing the MOST IMPORTANT BABY out with the 'dirty bath water.' I'm going to PRAY FOR YOU, though, so whether or not you believe in Jesus, I'm going to 'bet' that HE 'believes in you.'

God will say to you why didn't you listen to My Word and believe that instead of men? Did you pray to God for an answer? I think God also knows what you are saying now is not totally true because not all Christians threaten people with Hell. Many of us talk about God's Love and Grace if you would just listen. So do yourself a favor and figure out what The Truth really is and take responsibility for your own actions instead of being tempted and lying about it. God knows what is really in all of our hearts.
May God Bless you.

You can tell God anything and He will listen to you and if you ask Him to show you the real truth, He will. It's a heart that is seeking or repentant that God helps. There are a lot of "fake" Christians out there; they go to church every Sunday but live like the devil the rest of the week. This is why it's so confusing. Christians don't always "act" like a Christian should. I hope you do come to the realization that Jesus IS God.

Jesus was God. God took the form of a Human so He could check out all the mistakes He made and to atone for His own sins. When He decided He 'd seen enough He got Judas to rat Him out so He wouldn't have to live on Earth anymore. Self-righteous Suicide.
They're not all liars, nobody really knows. It's all just theories.

Then you would still go to Hell for rejecting Jesus. No excuses are accepted. It is up to you to overcome (through faith) the negativity that Satan has attached to Jesus. It is up to you to believe in the Son of God.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If you do not believe, you shall perish just as the verse says.

Then He would probably tell you He understood BUT He could have helped you to understand a little better and accept Jesus through the Holy Spirit who is our Helper when we are confused. God Bless you and He loves you, just know that ok?

Then i would say you are looking for the true religion. One without corruption and false doctrines. God knows false religion is abundent. There are some defining qualities of true christians. They will have love among themselves and love for their neighbor. If you are truly interested in learning what the bible really teaches, contact your local kingdom hall. They will help you to understand what is written in the bible. Hell is not in the bible.. that is one of the many untruths taught in most churches today. email me directly if you have any more questions

as a muslim we only believe that god has the right to be worshipped. we do believe that jesus peace be upon him was a prophet. but we do not believe he was god. it contradicts even the bible. i would have to say you need to believe in what ever you believe in. this is the reason god gave you free will. any one who is going to tell you eather or not you are going to hell does not know a thing. there is a saying in islam that a muslim who calls another muslim a kufr (unbeliever in islam) is a kufr at the time in which he/she says so. the over all lesson here is none has the right to judgement of another but god!

God knows what's truly going on in everyone's mind and heart. My experience with Christians has not been telling everyone they're going to hell. The fakes? He knows.
