Ive been asking this question to alot of christians and none of them can give me a proper answer including my college pastor. Christian theory says their religion is the most right one, Ok lets assume so. Secondly they say one can go heaven only if they accept jesus as a savior and therefore becoming a christian. Then i would say that your christian God is very very unfair and unjust. Some people are borned christians becuz their parents are and so are baptised very young when they can take no decision. So these people get straight ticket to heaven. What about people borned under another religion? They according to ur theory they need to spend lots and lots of more effort and time understanding christianity and later get the ticket to heaven. What about a girl who is borned in a village in middle east? Just becuz she will never have the opportunity to know about jesus, she will go to hell? So its her fault? Your God is so unjust that way. Continues...

So your god created us out of nowhere just to test whether we believe in him? Thats the ultimate motive, of creating so many billions of planet, so many lives, and heaven? How insightful your religion is!
So according to your religion even if im like mother theresa i will be banished to hell for not being a christian? Kewl religion it is i must say. Ok then one christian told me, that there is no such thing as borned
christian, and that everyone has to put in effort to become christian. Now dun come up with all these crap, Influence is proved. If you claim that there is no such thing as influenced then why religions are not equally
spread out in the world but organized into regions. Like europe being christian dominated, middle east being muslim, india being hindu, china being taoist and buddhist. Ok, answer my questions properly...dun try to dodge my question by saying my grammer sucks or other crap...it simply shows ur a big time loser...

I completely agree with you. Those exact reasons that you stated, are the reasons why I left the church. I do not believe that a person who has never heard of God, will go to hell. But I have also had many christians tell me that is incorrect....even though it says it in the bible. These christians seem to think that the people in those third world countries who have never heard of God or religion, will go to heaven, be told of God in the afterlife, and be given the decision then to accept Jesus. And then my question to that scenario, is that.....why can't we all have that same opportunity? If there is a God, why can't everyone (atheists, people of other religions) be given a second chance in the afterlife?

I was born into a goodly Christian family and grew up studying the Bible. I don't believe that God sends people to an endless hell of fire and suffering just because they didn't formally "come to Jesus".

You are right, in that there are people who live and die never knowing the Christian gospel, or getting the opportunity to accept OR reject it. My God is just AND merciful. He will, I believe, give everyone the chance to accept or reject it, if not in this life, then in the next. I don't believe that if you die without ever having the opportunity to accept or reject the Christian gospel, that you are just SOL.

Then, there are those people who live as Christ would want, but have not "accepted Christ". I don't think that these people are rejecting Christ, as much as they are rejecting so many of the people that try to shove Jesus down their throats. I don't really like those people who try to bring people to Christ, by LITERALLY "scaring the hell out of them".

And you are right. No one can answer that question. If someone doesn't hear about Jesus in their life. I'll be honest. I would not have a clue where he/she will go. The bible says the only sin that can't be forgiven is rejecting Jesus by the time of judgement day. If someone has not heard about Jesus, how can that person reject Jesus? The bible also says that the only way to heaven is through Jesus. Now, if that person does go to heaven. The two verses still don't contradict. Because I would say that that verse about people can only to heaven would only refer to those who have heard about Jesus. If that person goes to hell, it is because she didn't known Jesus. But once again, I really don't know. But I do know God will do what is right (not what we think is right).

First, your statement "born Christian" is flawed. Yes you can be born into a Christian home, and be taught the Bible, but ultimately, it is your choice whether you accept Jesus' sacrifice. Being baptized doesn't get a person to heaven. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is alive. And who's to say what is fair? If we could all understand God 100%, that would mean God is fairly ignorant. If God, who is in control of everything, is only as smart as me, we're in trouble. Also, Romans chapter 1 talks about God being made obvious through creation, and His invisible attributes being clearly seen. You don't have to have a Bible to figure out that there is a creator, and if you truly seek God, he will reveal Himself to you, whether you live in the Middle East or wherever. I would hope that you will trust God in what He has decided, and understand that He knows best for you.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, and this theology (not all of Christianity) fails if man is to be considered a neutral agent or even mostly depraved, but not all the way. He must be totally depraved, in other words from the fall of Adam and extending to all of mankind, every single person must be guilty before the Lord, in order for Him to save some, but not all. And, it must be God's choice from before the foundations of the world rather than our perceived ability to choose him -- and so your college pastor is only half right, we cannot make a move to accept Jesus if we don't have the ability. Rather it is God who must take action in every facet of salvation.

You are also correct in that God is not fair. If Israel was his chosen people, then what about the rest of the world? The simple fact is that since no one earns heaven on their own, God would be under no obligation to save the world that is guilty anyway. If he chooses whose eyes will be opened, that's his prerogative, and it takes love to do that, especially when he owes us nothing. He can bring to heaven whom he wishes, and he can leave whom he wishes in their sins.

You may be interested in the book of Job, terrible things happened to him and he proclaimed his innocence before the Lord. Did God apologize? Nope, Job got the tongue-lashing of his life for thinking that he merited God's favor on his own.

Dear Friend,

The bible does not teach us that all will go to heaven after death. it teaches us the following.

When Adam and Eve sinned against god, they made the human race imperfect and thus death was created:

Romans 5:12
[ Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ ] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned.

Gods authority was bought into question in this event, so he is allowing us a period of time to prove that we can exist wothout his rule and law. Of course Satan has played his part in this and is misleading the whole world

Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

But gos loves us so much he sent his son to die a sinless death and atone for all sin past present and future.

John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

bear in mind also:

Acts 17:26
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.


The ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ was for the sins of the the whole world." (1 John 2:2) Hence, all who exercise faith in Jesus have the prospect of eternal life. (John 3:16) Those asleep in the grave but who are in God's memory will be resurrected, not to heaven, but to life on a cleansed earth. (Ecclesiastes 9:5; John 11:11-13, 25; Acts 24:15) What will await them there?

Revelation 21:1-4 answers, saying: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind . . . And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Imagine—humans being released from death, and the pain and outcry it causes gone forever! At last, Gods original purpose for the earth and humankind will reach its glorious fulfillment.—Genesis 1:27, 28.

God Bless

"Then i would say that your christian God is very very unfair and unjust. "

I didn't read past the above pasted statement that you made because it reveals your weakness.

God does not wait for your opinion on how to do things. God decided that it would be a certain way, and if fairness were applied, we would all be dead or in Hell. By doing things this way God gave us a chance.

So it's nice that you have the capacity to have an opinion, but God's opinion counts the most. After all, He's the one with the power.

Your opinion at the Judgement will have buttkiss for power. lol

Christianity failed right off the bat when whomever wrote Genesis said that God Murders his own creations. Actually even before that, genesis says that we all came from one human - Adam. Genetically speaking, we're all inbreeds from one genetic source. Adam and Eve having children would have been like two identical twins having children as Eve came to life from Adams rib.

Christianity is a reality for the Christian.
Its about God who sent His son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sin and mine.
God is infinite - He CANNOT fail.

Christian people never fails in their belief (not theory) to the existence of God, the teachings of God in the Bible and on the preachings of christianity entire the world. For your complete understanding on the word christianity, you must have read and understand our bible.You will have poor understanding on the words written on the bible if you doubt God. He will not allow you to understand it very well because their are many statements and words on the bible which needs clear understanding.On the teachings and statement of Jesus Christ written on the bile, most of it contains parables which are not easy to understand the meaning. There are words on the bible that can be translated on its lateral meaning but most of it are parables. Many preachers have not really understood the real meaning of many parables there which was written.
If a pastsor claimed that his religion is the most right one, do not just believe on him. He must prove himself that he is really on the right religion. or else he is a false pastor, false preacher, false evengelist, false prophet and everything false. The teachings of that supposed pastor should be based only on the christian bible. Be very carefull of this kind of Pastor who is only interest on your money contiribution, you are giving.
Here are true hints in going to heaaven : Join to a true religion that teaches you and give you indoctrination on all about God. Have faith in God and believe on his teachings based on the bible; Ask forgiveness of your sins to God including your doubts to him and everything which are unGodly. Obey the commandments of God and all his teachings as written on the bible. You should love God and do not forget God in all your undertaking and learn to give thanksgiving to him of what you have obtain either favorable to you or not.
According to the Bible, Jesus will be back from heaven to judge the living and the dead on earth and you will be judge depending of the sins you have committed, whether they were forgiven or not. It does not mean that upon your death, you will be going to heaven immediately. Time will come that you will be judged by Jesus whether you will have eternal life in heaven or go to hell to suffer on a lake of fire forever. No one could say and till you that you will go to heaven or not because it is only God who could judge you as human being.
According to the bible , a young child should not be baptized because he has not yet committed a sin. The real meaning of baptism is the washing away of your sins. The young child is still ignorant of any sin committed. There is no such as inherited sin as claimed by other christian religion according to the bible. A man or lets say a girl who do not know about the bible and christianity and still ignorant about God existence and do not know His teachings and nobody have ever preach her about God, may have place in heaven. But a man who was preached already and know the existence of God, yet he do not believe God and refused to ask forgiveness from God before his death, may have no place in heaven.
Short time of period is not enough to explain you everything in your doubt about God and doubt of everything in heaven. I advise you to please have one copy of the bible and read it try to understand it very well. It is "The Holy Bible,Old and New Testament. King James version of translation is advisable.
