Well I have a friend who doesnt belive in god (Atheists), but she is one of the most generous people i have ever met. I really don't think that god will send her to hell if she is such a nice girl. What do u think??

Ali: As a Christian for well over 35 years, I can assure you that your friend is not going to a place called "hell" when she dies. Why ? Simply because she hasn't been enlighted or drawn to God for the necessary relationship and understanding of salvation in Christ, for one thing. It is God, the Father, who does the drawing and calling (see: Book of John, 6th chapter, verse 44). Of course, God may decide to "call" her later, on in this life. When you comprehend the love and concern God has for His human creation, you will see that God is really in the saving business - He gave His Son, Jesus Christ to die for His human creation for starters. Another reason for your friend not "going to hell" is that "hell" is not a plausible Biblical teaching. "Hell" is a mistranslation of the word "hades" from the Bible and simply, means "grave" or "hole". This "hell" as an ever-burning place for the unsaved, was taught in earlier history by both, the ancient Egyptians and later, adopted by the Greeks to instill fear (fear-religion) into people to control them. "Hell" has nothing to do with the Bible as a place of an ever-burning fire. In the book of Revelation, Chapter 20, verse 14, "hell" is cast into the Lake of fire along with death. A good question to ponder over would be, why would "hell" as a place for burning the unsaved, (according to those with bad theology), be thrown into the lake of fire if it were to be used to punish them? Wouldn't this defeat the "purpose" for having "hell" for in the first place? This would therfore, be a paradox ! Your friend will be given her chance at salvation with the rest of those who had not had his or her chance, later, after the return of Jesus Christ to this earth once again. God is a fair and just God - full of mercy and love for ALL !!!

even as i replaced into an finished-fledged believer, pastor's spouse, church chief, apologist, and so on, I requested for signs and indicators and proofs before going with what I knew in my heart. under no circumstances observed something. Now you're telling me he's dropping his means on the non-believers and exhibiting them signs and indicators even as he will be preserving thousands contained in the fold and giving them peace of innovations and soul if he could instruct signs and indicators to them. What a waste. Any promoting professional will allow you to know that that's way less complicated to furnish solid customer service and keep the shoppers you've than to get new ones from chilly calling.

You do not spend any time at all reading or studding the Word of God, for if you did you would already know that those who have not the seal of God in their foreheads will be turned over to Satan.
Being a nice person is wonderful. We all should be that way, but the reality is your place in Heaven is not in your works but in your obedience to God by making the choice to accept His Saviour Jesus Christ. Its through your faith that Jesus goes to prepare a place for you. It is within your power and your responsibility to warn your friend least you suffer as well as she.><>

That is exactly the thinking that will get your friend into hell.
Jesus said "He that has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." (Mark 16:16)
You may have to come to a decision about which is more important to you, believing God and sharing the Gospel with your friend, or refrain from sharing to avoid possibly hurting her feelings to the endangerment of her soul.
If you love her, you will tell her the truth.
If she listens, she will be your friend forever.

She doesn't sound like a non-believer to me. It sounds like she knows exactly what she believes, its just different than what you believe. Seems to me she was born, appears to be a pretty good person, is generous, doesn't sound like God has left her out of anything.

Turn your question around; I think maybe your life may witness to her even more that hers witnesses to you. Wait and see what happens in the end.

Most gods wouldn't, but yours would.
Maybe you'd like to trade up?
