when thinking about the reward of heaven or being sent to hell? NO HUMAN knows what is your reward - only GOD decides this.
Yet, so many ask this. If your doing your honest best - GOD knows this right? In a life, with all the stresses and temptations, here on Earth, no human should abuse another into thinking less of themselves.

Are most of you related to Doubting Thomas the Apostle? Just because we can't see doesn't make it NOT real. Humans built better telescopes and microscopes and opened vast amounts of evidence proving many things. We're at subparticle levels now, and finding planets where before was only a fuzzy star - Help humanity grow, yes - but GOD is everywhere waiting.

It is in our human nature to be self centered and trust in ourselves. We want to be in control of our own life and not worry that God knows what we are doing.
Only God knows what is in our hearts. We cannot look at another person and declare that this person believes, so he will go to heaven or this person does not believe, so he will go to hell.
God knows all of us better then we know ourselves. Remember, it only takes faith the size of a mustard seed, which is near the size of the period at the end of this sentence to get in the kingdom of God.
"DO not judge, or you to will be judged. " Matt. 7:1
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matt. 7:3

Well the last time I checked God will not pick you up at the airport.
You cannot see, hear, touch, or have a two way conversation with God. God is not reliable. What else would you expect from a fictitious made up person?
Man is the only seed of love. It hurts all people that choose to love a none existent being over himself or any other human being. This is why religions make people do weird things like kill their own children.

The only evidence you have in god is an ancient text replete with fallacious stories of talking donkeys, snakes, and bushes. Stories of slaughter of innocents with the big guy's approval. None of this is evidence and you cannot offer any proof. Certainly if there was a god "he" would manifest "his" existence as "he" did in the bible, that is if he existed. So why not anymore parting seas, killed first borns, talking donkeys, etc. Unless you believe a lunatic like David Berkawitz really spoke to god through his dogs when they told him to shoot people there have been no news stories of talking animals speaking the will of god.

You people amaze me. God in his goodness gave you life and a free will. He gives you a book with the instructions in it. Provides you a free education so you can read. You inturn think you know something. Why do you blame God for your shortcoming and your sin. Sin is a choose period. People use there free will and decide i will sin. It is that simple but people today go the extra step lets blame God for our condition. God has provided the way to heaven and the path to hell is laid out before you even now. Pick one and press on.

First to all the other ones who posted answers...God is real and whether you believe in Him or not....He believes in you and He does know you. Try to prove to me that God isn't real (without using useless arguments) and you will find that He does indeed exist. Just look at everything around you and how it all works...it's not by accident.
Now to the question...yes God does see that you do good. But the most important thing that God looks for is to see if you believe in Him. The Bible says that the only way to get to Heaven is if you believe that Jesus is the living Son of God, that you are a sinner and you are in need of a savior. That's between you and God. If you truly want to go to Heaven and live eternally with our Creator...you have to believe. It's the only way. Our works do not get us to Heaven. It's the work that Jesus did on the cross that gets us to heaven. He basically went into the pitts of hell and took upon Himself all of our sins...past, present and future. But because He was perfect and without sin, death could not hold him. He paid the price for all of us....forever. If you accept that amazing gift from God...that is free to you and me and everyone else...you are guaranteed to go to Heaven. You're name will be written in the Lambs Book of Life and will never be erased.
Also remember that Jesus was tempted and abused as no other person in history. And for doing nothing wrong as well. If He could live a perfect life, and if we have His Spirit within us, then we could do a lot better than most so-called Christians do to people on a daily basis. God's command to us is to love. We are to love God with all of our heart and soul and mind and strength...with everything we have. And we are to love others as we love ourself. There are no greater commandments than those. If we are full of love as Jesus commands than all would be awesome in this world!!!
Read the Bible and see what God says of His children. See the names that He calls those who love Him. I don't think you'll find anything there that puts down in any way, shape or form. In fact it does the opposite and gives you a name and a purpose, it uplifts and encourages you.
Don't know if this answered your question or not, but I am passionate about my Papa and pray others would find the truth before it's too late for them. God loves you...He created you...He knew you before time even began...and He sent His Son to die for you so that you could live forever. That's who God is.

Faith is belief in those things that can not be seen. A lot of people have to see something in order to believe it. As far as being judgemental, you are right in thinking that only God knows what is in your heart and He and only He has the right to judge you. People however like to judge a believer as foolish, stupid or whatever because they don't believe. It is as simple as that. Pay no attention to them and don't bother to argue. It is not worth your effort. Keep the faith.
