I know I'm not going to hell, because it doesn't exist. It's about as likely as you going to Fairytopia.

You know, this is not a fifty words or less question. What got you to thinking about this? I'm not going to quote a lot of scripture to you. I have been really curious about theology for a long time since I was pretty young. I read a lot about what other people think and have experienced. I suggest that you do some reading. One of the books I read a long time ago was There Is A River. It is about the life of Edgar Cayse. It is a biography of a man who was psychic. Probably the most gifted psychic of the 20th century. Another book that I recommend is Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsh. I am a Christian, but I don't believe that all the people of all the other religions are going to hell. That doesn't sound like a loving God to me. Why would you be punished and sent to Hell because you were born in a Hindu family and died believing in that faith, or any other faith. I think we come back to learn and to become better. You have to answer this for yourself. I suggest that you be open-minded. At one time in human history, you could be killed for believing that the Earth revolved around the sun. I remember that anyone who thought they saw UFO was probably nuts back in the fifties. Now most people believe that we are not alone in the Universe. Things we believe are "absolute" are subject to being changed or reinterpreted. Find your own answers. Listen, read, explore.

you extremely have finished your learn, attaboy (and that i extremely recommend it, I genuinely have a intense face on, in case you cant see it). Morals are defined by technique of the circumstances, what became strong then is undesirable now and vice-versa. the authentic difficulty is to seem previous the information in leviticus and deutoronomy and concentrate on the authentic stuff, like the decision for charity, cleanliness, peace, and justice. i imagine the Christian gospels are the right at speaking those abstracts that were given confuzzled by technique of the mistranslations and the replacing circumstances. Dont ignore that the OT became written for a set of nomads spread through the Fertile Crescent. there turned right into a experience of order and strictness that had to be conventional. attempting to adhere to them to society those days is like attempting to in good structure an american plug in a ecu outlet, or diesel in a petroleum engine. extremely some the guidelines decrease back then were made to maintain the society and keep human beings effective (as in kind) and healthful. really, lots of the guidelines, at the same time as excited by a grain of salt, adventure those morals you've. the point i'm attempting to make is that the religion is robust at its center, yet its been coated with all the muck from its previous. in case you are able to seem previous that, you will see how strong it really is.

The bible or God's Word is your hand book for life. You will get to the throne of God and say "I didnt Know" and he will say the answers were in the HOLY BIBLE that sat on the shelf all those years. Oh and by the way did you ever trying praying and asking me for my advise or help. You didnt listen to that guy who tried telling you about me every week at work or that show on tv or that book written by that christian author. The answer is simple Jesus Christ saves. You can be set free from death through Christ. Try doing some research or pray ask God to open your eyes and reveal himself to you then get a bible and read it.

ok here it is
when you die ,you are allowed to judge your self
if you judge others harshly [or not at all] then you will judge you harshly [or not at all]
you are you when god shows you that you are not the corpse [not the rotted meat smouldering in the grave ] you judge it [just equally to how you allways judge others] [this is in front of the know it all ;god][what else can you do but be consistant]
your whole life
we see the stick in others eyes [bias] but not our own
but when your dead
and you [your spirit is judging [your flesh] you by your very nature will be condemming [or condoning ] all you have ever done [to the same measure]
and like most judgmental types we will judge our selves harder than we judged others
because we know all we are judging on is true
,many judge them selves to hell
others dont judge them selves too hard go there too
we all get a second chance
thousands of 2de chances , we can redeem our evils ,
we need to really want to help others redeem them selves
only in hell do some run arround as chickens do
questioning every thing [to judge?]
or to know [yet love all the more for knowing]?

I personally think hell is a state of mind. And many of us has lives of living hell. I think we are going to have to find out the meaning of life on our own, but God will guide us if we truly search for truth. I don't just mean the Bible, all truth must come from God, so we should search out truth in all things. Christ said the secret to life was love. But we all have such a hard time trying to love ourselves, let alone God and our neighbors. I am sure God has and will give us many chances if we are at least searching.

Yes, we do, when we ignore the "warranty" book, left for optimum performance of our souls. The "Inventor" of life, with all its glory, didn't leave us, His precious children, without guidance to find our way.
Genesis explains in the 1st 3 chptrs. how we were thrown off course. God has allowed this mess to deepen, yes, but depends upon little you and little me to stand up to His accuser and prove him a lier. That's elaberated upon in Job, where maintaining one's integrity is high-lighted.
We, each of us, are participating in a legal dispute regarding the rightful soverignty of our Creator's Godship.
Of course, we can't live up to God's standard, being imperfect ( = sinful). That's why God sent His son to 1) explain his Father 2) shed his perfect blood ( righteous) to replace ours ( on a PERMANENT basis). The result is, although the faithful of old died, they are alive in god's memory and will be resurrected to life in His due time.
3) Jesus also shows and insructs us how to live in harmony with God's teachings and how to get along.
If we examine the bible as we would a jigsaw puzzle, we gather like info., group facts, put them together and start to see 'the big picture"= LIFE, and its purpose for YOU!

You get your choice before you die. It's appointed unto man once to die after this the judgment. Take it up with God if that's a problem. He's the one that made the rules.

I think God will ask first if your name is in the book of life. If it's not I think you go to hell then. You can ask questions but I don't think you'll get answers. You basically have have your choice now.

I believe when sinners die and go to hell, they will know exactly why they are there and understand that is exactly where they belong. That will be a greater pain than the flames.

Everyone will be judged, both good and bad. Read Revelation, especially the last 2 chapters
