They are burning in Hell.
OR
There may be a God who is just and righteous and great and merciful and holy.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, CHURCH PEOPLE.

Care to answer the question -- or do you just want to spin it?

There is a third possibility: No god exists.

You are right in so many ways!

First, church people can't "have it both ways" and neither can non-church people. There is only one way - God's.

Second, it's very hard to answer this question with any sort of real integrity since I am not God. So the only way to answer honestly is to "spin it".

Third, if we look intently at God's Word... we would see that we are saved through faith in Christ. So we can only assume that we understand that phrase to mean that those without Christ will be sent to an everlasting "death".

With all that said, the "real" answer to your question is:
Nobody can say for sure where ANYBODY who has passed is. All we can say for sure is where our hearts are right now. I pray yours is with God.

Be blessed!

I will answer your question, I guess you thought there wasn't any Christian that could answer you, The answer is NO, not everyone, Turn to Rev.6:9 And when he had opened the 5th seal, I saw under,(or round about) the alter the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, & for the testimony which they held. Now those souls is those Jews killed in the Holocaust, you can read verse 10-11, But there was some Jews that went to their graves cursing God. They are in hell, But these die holding their testimony of the law. Now did I spin the answer, & did I have it both ways. In my 37 yrs. of serving God, I think God has given me a little understanding in his word.

i do not believe that ANYONE is burning in hell at this time...
THE HOLY BIBLE says in Matthew chapter 9 verse 24, Mark 5 verse 39, Luke 8 verse 52 and John 11 verse 11 that death is a sleep. and Ecclesiastes 9 verse 5 says that the dead know not anything. i think if i were burning in hell i'd know it don't you?
at the end of time as we know it the evil will be destroyed there will be nothing left but ashes. Malachi 4 Verse 3.

Aaron is right. It's very depressing and makes me sad and angry to read your question. But I'll try to answer it anyway. It is not true, despite what some Christians say, that the Holocause victims, or in fact any Jews, are "burning in hell." Jews do not accept or believe in the Christian concept of hell. What makes those Christians think that they are always right about everything? NO JEWISH HELL; NO BURNING; NO ETERNAL SUFFERING! What makes you right and me wrong?

No - they are not burning in Hell. That God burns people in eternal tormenting fire is a God dishonoring teaching that is actually not found in the Bible at all.

Also, God is merciful and just. He does not punish people just due to lack of knowledge. He reads hearts and gives all the opportunity to learn about him.

Jesus died to save.... ALL.... men. This is what I read in my Bible.
I'm not "church people", but, why the attitude?

What is wrong with people that want to spend some time with people that believe the way they do and sing, chat, etc. Except for the zealots, most religious people keep to themselves, they are not dragging people in off the streets and forcing them to worship. They are not stealing, murdering, etc.

And, yeah...then can have it both ways....it's a belief.....NOT FACT

It is true that God is just and righteous and great and merciful and holy. It is also true that "hell" is any place Jesus Christ isn't. And the heart of a Jew is usually one of those places. So yes, I'm sure some Holocaust victims are burning in hell. They're there by choice because they chose to reject their savior and wanted nothing to do with him. So he, in his mercy, grants them their desires and allows them to live in a place without him.

That is one of the most ridiculous questions I have ever heard. Of course they're not burning in Hell!
Why do people suggest that God is so hateful? (And, no, I am not a "church person").

It doesn't matter if they were victims of the Holocaust or victims of a car wreck! If they hadn't accepted Jesus as their Savior and lived a good spiritual life according to His plan of salvation, then it doesn't bode well for them.

Nobody, but nobody, is burning in hell.
The God of the Bible doesn't burn people.
Please note God's statement when He saw Baal worshippers offering their children in fiery sacrifice:
"They built the high places of Ba′al in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, a thing that I did not command them, neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing,. . . " Jeremiah 32:35.
Burning people never entered His heart.
To Him it is detestable!
