this question is for those who dont believe and i want to make them think and understand bout the situation. i agree that the only way to heaven is through Christ but im challenging the nonbelievers.

also i asked this question as a first step for nonbelievers. After they know that there is a hell and then learn about the salvation in Jesus Christ THEN they can be saved and go to heaven. so all the believers praise the Lord and keep it up

No I would rather believe the more likely scenario, which is you are a deluded fool, and that your proselytizing doesn't mean anything in the scope of humanity.

I believe in one infinite being and arguing over made made religions does not get us closer to the answer of hell or heaven being real or imagined or something that we live out now or in the supposed after life.
I have studied many world religions and find the merit in them all.
If we are all gods children as it is written in the scripture then the road that we take to our fathers house is not as important as the deeds we do along the way.
Christ was not Christian, Buddha was not Buddhist and no matter what your faith is it seems to be a Universal truth that we all come from the same source.
As any Father/ Mother would say to all of their children not just one. I love you all despite your differences.
and to borrow the ever popular phrase of Rodney King
" Why can't we all just get along."
Leave the Judgement to the Omniscient , Omnipotent being.
We are mere mortals trying to put a face and name on something that cannot be named.
For in doing so it becomes finite.

Just because you believe in Hell doesn't mean you aren't going. Not even being a good person necessarily saves you from it. According to most religions you need to do a bit more than believe in it. Just because you are scared to go there is no reason to believe, otherwise you may spend your life believing out of fear and end up there anyway.

I guess it's too much to assume that any deity capable of creating eternal heaven and hell would actually have some intelligence.
If you base your actions in life on trying to acquire an eternal bribe from God, then you are really just as selfish and uncaring as all the other people you claim are headed to hell.

Redeemed by what set of universal standards would be my concern. To what purpose is not even merited a moments interest, alas Pascels wager never ever goes away. I suppose it's a nice break from the tree falling in the forest question. Interestingly the answer to both is no. Take care.

How bout I live a good life and not be as stupid as it takes to believe in a place like hell that doesn't exist?
Unless you have empirical evidence to prove hell exits, by saying it does with absolutely no evidence to back up your claim, you are lying.

This is the Atheist's Wager, but I think you're trying for Pascal's Wager.
Actually, when I asked Christians about this, only two (one being my husband) out of about thirty that answered said that you had to be good to get into Heaven. All the others said that it doesn't matter whether you're good or bad, as long as you're saved when you die. Check out my questions if you don't believe me.

Living a good life is irrelevant to whether one goes to Hell or not, according to the Bible. The most righteous person in the world will go to Hell if he doesn't believe in Jesus. What you propose is religion by fear, not coming to it freely.

That is such a good question. Unfortunately there won't be many who don't believe the truth who will accept this. They will only talk about things that don't matter like your misspelling of words because they are scared to face themselves. Keep asking those questions. Maybe you will reach someone someday. God bless you and keep your faith. As long as we know the truth, nobody can take anything away from us that God wants us to have- especially Heaven. God bless.

Given a choice between worshipping the Christian god and going to Heaven and the choice of going to Hell with people who would work to make it a Heaven , I will gladly take the second option. Of course, I don't even really believe that the Christian God exists; and even if I'm wrong, I'd rather not worship him.

Why do you need the fear of hell to live a good life?
Atheists live good lives without being threatened and so must be born with good souls. Therefore, they don't need to worry about hell either during life or after death.
Too bad you Christians are not born as fortunate.
