......will be in Hell?
Did you know that some of the most filthy, wretched, and vile people who ever lived will be in heaven? Why? Because it is not our "goodness" that get's us out of Hell. Everyone , no matter how "good" they are, MUST have their sins forgiven by God. God has declared that he will ONLY forgive those who repent, and put thier trust in Jesus Christ. If a person does that, all his sins are forgiven: no matter how numerous or greivious. As the old hymn goes... " The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment, from Jesus, a pardon receives".

Yes, I did know. Did you know that the ex-satanist and "Son of Sam" serial killer David Berkowicz ( I hope I spelled that correctly) is now preaching the word of God to fellow prisoners. I don't mean any disrespect to the families of the people that he killed, but I think that is awesome! There is absolutely nothing that God cannot forgive.

I don't completely agree with you. I believe that God knows your heart. If someone is truly vile and wretched, odds are they have not really repented and put their trust in Jesus.
There are many people who are keep their relationship with the Lord as a private matter. Some of those nice people you mention may actually have a relationship with the Lord.
God does not want anyone to perish. No one knows what judgement looks like and only God can judge.
I think the kindest thing you can do for those that you love is to let them know that you do trust in God, so that when you die they don't have to wonder if they will see you again.

there are people out there that have never even heard of jesus, people ask me. what happens to them. i see it like this, the whole point of jesus coming to earth was to ensure peoples position in the presence of the creator in heaven. not heaven
itself. just being with god becoming part of his family, so i see it that if noone got to learn about jesus in his or her lifetime and died without getting to be forgiven. they will be judged on their hearts.(Romans 2:14-15) for it is said that the law has been written on their hearts. the people who know jesus and refute him are the people who will separated from god. in hell. as it is said. the biggest sin is not refusing forgiveness.(mark 3:29)
how would you know that if you were never a christian?certain circumstances lead to certain places.
i am a devout christian and
i think that alot of christians need to start realizing the whole meaning of the holy scriptures given to us. and start forgiving eachother instead of damming eachother. how are we supposed to receive forgiveness if we can't forgive?

Did you know that the belief in an everlasting hell is a false belief based on the pagan belief of an immortal soul? Did you know that those who misrepresent God and His character will pay a very dear price on judgment day?

ARe you TRYING to make your religion look ridiculous and your God look like a nasty tyrant?
You people have the best religion for the scum of the earth.
How convenient.
What's worse is that YOU are the one who believes that Garbage.
How dare you assume to know the mind of God,
especially when it comes down to judgement, especially of the numerous and vilest cruelties of a few.
YOu are NO ONE to say. How Presumptuous, self righteous & pious you are..

As a Christian I am aware of that the nicest people I met will be there. Being good doesn't mean that you are saved.
