I believe in reincarnation so going to heaven or hell is a mute point for me. The main things in life you have to worry about are you fair, are you just, are you kind? If you can answer these with a yes you are a good person.

None of the things you mentioned are deciding factors for getting into either Heaven or Hell. So I would need more information if it was up to me, although I'm truly glad I don't have to do the judging. I read Harry Potter too. We all lose our tempers at times, but it would depend on how you project your anger as to whether or not you have sinned. I actually don't have a church I attend regularly right now because I haven't found one that feels right for me, but I'm still looking. God's Grace is what saves us even though we don't deserve it.
May God Bless you.

When you say "I let my temper get the best of me" does that mean you get upset sometimes, or you loose your mind and stash run-away's corpses in your shed?
That will have a major roll in my decision. If it is just that you get a little upset sometimes, I'll see if I can put a good word into St Peter to let you through the pearly gates. You will however be required to leave the Harry Potter book here on earth, as it may cause some of the people who have been in heaven for thousands of years to wonder what has been going on down there.

I think your sin would pale in comparison to mine, but all sin is equal in the sight of God. Luckily I don't have the power to send you or anyone else to Hell, because I would ignorantly and hypocrytically send many that I am afraid I would later regret. Going to church and being almost perfect does not get you to Heaven and perfection really is not a human possibility anyway. God is more merciful than humans, and the only people who will go to Hell are those who choose to spend eternity apart from God. Wow, God is pro-choice, who knew? ;)

You'd go to heaven, just as long as you don't become a druggie or anything. As long as you don't do anything to harm yourself or someone else, you'd go to heaven. Nothing wrong with reading Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling makes good books, right? I don't go to church either, but I still believe in God. Terrorists, druggies, and criminals, people who bring harm to other people or themselves, would go to hell, hands down. Not you, I get pretty mad sometimes as well, but just as long as you don't hurt anyone or yourself through the process, anger is just another human emotion, right? Anyway, no, you're not a bad person, and for that, you would be sent to heaven where you belong with your relatives.

That's the deal with God, it is up to you to decide where you want to spend eternity. You do so by deciding whether you will put your faith in Jesus or in yourself.
I won't even go there as far as the make believe decision you have proffered. What I will say is God says "Judge not lest ye be judged by the same measure you have judged. " That goes for everyone. I don't have the right to judge where you will spend your eternity and why in the world would you want an imperfect human to do that? It seems mighty risky to me.

It's not up to me or anyone else on earth -- and it's really not even
up to God -- the choice AND the responsibility belong ONLY to you.
God DID His part when He sent His Son to die in our place to pay for OUR sins, so we could EACH have the CHOICE that Adam gave away to satan, -- satan would take us ALL to hell with him - without giving us ANY choice in the matter, just to get back at God, but God respects our free will - and so while our salvation is completely PAID for, it's not AUTOMATICALLY. Each person has to make the PERSONAL and INDIVIDUAL choice to receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord and EACH person will have to give acct.
to God for the choice they made - or neglected to make - while they were here on this earth.
If you really DO want to go to heaven, I would implore you to please call this number and talk with someone about your eternal
destiny, 1-800-759-0700. It's 700 club. here in the USA.
PLEASE CALL!!!
ALL of our individual sins, past, present, and future, have already
been PAID IN FULL -- the only thing that will send you - or anyone
-- to hell is if you die and leave this world without accepting Jesus
as your personal Savior. God KNOWS that we are weak and have alot of faults, but ALL of that is BECAUSE of man's fall from
grace that Adam brought about. Romans, chapter 5.
Salvation was meant for EVERYBODY but there is only ONE way
to God -- and that is through Jesus and His sacrificial death on the cross in YOUR place.
PLEASE DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM!!!
I would ask you to go to this site also. You will be blessed.
www.FathersLoveLetter.com.
There WILL come a time here on earth, during the Tribulation, that ALL who do receive the mark of the Beast on their hand or on their forehead -- that will seal their fate for hell then and there and that they can NEVER be saved.
The best teacher on end times prophesy is HAL LINDSEY.
His writing is so complete and informative, but it is not way over our heads or anything. He makes it easy to understand the book of Revelations and other difficult parts of the Bible.
His favourite or signature verse is one that I will pass on to you, going by what you wrote in your question and that would be TITUS 3:5.
I wish you all the best!!!
