a] the Bible doesn't say that you're going to Hell and
b] it does tell you somethings about God.

The Priests, however, add on it to this and give you their interpretations, in their Sunday Sermons.

Cheers!

A.) Revelations 20;14 would suggest that Hell is a waiting place for souls/spirits till judgment day - which is at this time.

B.) Revelation 22:3-5 and the lord god giveth them light; and they shall reign for ever and ever.

You would really enjoy finding these and other answers when reading the King James Bible It is an amazing collection of books and truly worth the time to learn very interesting facts.

#2 first


Matthew 28 19 & 20 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I havecommanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

(this is in the New Testament 3 times, but there are other verses that commend teaching the gospel.)

#1 second Offhand there is one is proverbs

Proverbs 24:11 & 12 If thou forebear to deliver those that are drawn unto death, and those that areready to be slain; if thou sayest, Behold we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth he ot know it? and shall not he renderto every man according to his works?

Also finally ine the end of Acts (I'll have to find it - but it's going make the message too long) Paul says that he is free from the blood of all men because he did not refrain from giving the whole counsel of God to every man.

God hold us responsible if we know something that would save someone and we do not tell them about it.

Well in the gospels we are told out to make disciples of the world. We are to go out and tell people of Jesus and what He has done, when you know what He has done, you should know what you are saved from. By accepting Jesus, you accept the Holy Spirit and God the father.

So to answer your question, yes it says to do both, but do it with compassion and to be gentle about it. To be patient with those who don't understand, and to wipe the dust from your clothes in the places that fully reject you.

I can't give you an exact verse, but I'm sure others here can. It's in the gospels of the NT.

Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.

But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.

If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.

The Good Person Test.

How will you do? Pass or fail?


Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?

Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?

Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?

Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?

See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?

If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.

Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.

The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

There are many, actually. Here are a few examples:

-------------------------------------
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
~Ezekiel 33: 7-9 (NIV)

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
~Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
~James 5:19-20 (NIV)

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
~Galatians 6:1 (NIV)

Option A in only in some people's minds but option B
Matthew 28:16-20

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."(NIV)


It's commonly referred to as the Great Commission.

Wikipedia has a good entry on it for more scripture references.

The passage in question is not phrased in terms of Heaven and Hell, but warnings and responsibility.

Ezekiel 33:1-6
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 "Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, 'If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman,
3 and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people,
4 then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 'He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life.
6 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.'

If you know the truth, you are responsible for that truth.

Ezekiel 3:11
"Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' "

Yes on both counts:

a) Matthew 18:15

b) Mark 16:15

To start with Ezekiel 3:18-21 says:
"When I say to someone wicked, ‘You will positively die,’ and you do not actually warn him and speak in order to warn the wicked one from his wicked way to preserve him alive, he being wicked, in his error he will die, but his blood I shall ask back from your own hand. But as for you, in case you have warned someone wicked and he does not actually turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked way, he himself for his error will die; but as for you, you will have delivered your own soul. And when someone righteous turns back from his righteousness and actually does injustice and I must put a stumbling block before him, he himself will die because you did not warn him. For his sin he will die, and his righteous acts that he did will not be remembered, but his blood I shall ask back from your own hand. And as for you, in case you have warned someone righteous that the righteous one should not sin, and he himself does not actually sin, he will without fail keep on living because he had been warned, and you yourself will have delivered your own soul.”

Other Scriptures related:
Matthew 24:14;
Matthew 28:19, 20

1 Timothy 4:16

Our message is a message of hope, such as at Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Revelation 21:3-5, etc., as well as a message of warning, such as at Luke 13:1-5; Acts 3:19; 17:30, 31; Revelation 9:20, 21; 16:8-11.
