Christians do not damn you to their hell.A person does that to their selves by not accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior.

As a Christian, I would say anyone being that aggressive with their religion could be ignored as an overbearing fanatic who is going against what is taught in the Bible. The Bible teaches to love all people, regardless of religion or creed, and nowhere does it say to damn your fellow man to hell. The Bible does teach Christians to spread their religion to others, but obviously damning others to hell is not an effective way of doing so. To sum things up, no Christian has the right to damn anyone to hell, but perhaps the individual thinks they are furthering their religion. Another Christian needs to step up to inform them that aggression is not the way to share the Gospel; love and friendship are the best tools to use to even begin discussing the touchy subjects of religion.

Since I don't know your religion, all I can say is that hell is hell, and heaven is heaven. Some things are basic to all religions.
I seriously doubt that anyone actually damned you to hell, but they could have made a statement that sounded like it. The best thing you can do is what everyone else does, and ignore the person and forget about it.

You have the right to your own religion. Christians do not and can not damn you to hell. All Christians can do is warn you that there is a hell that was made for the devil and for those he deceives and tell you that God wants you to avoid this terrible place. God is perfect and so is Heaven. God is love and will not force His ways on you. Those who go to Heaven are those who love Him with all their heart and have chosen to follow His ways.

I do not have the right to damn you to hell. Before I became a Christian I thought I was a good person, and that I wasn't as bad as some of those "other people". Until I looked to God , who is Holy did I realize that I damned myself to hell, until I learned about the grace and mercy of God- through the shed blood of Christ. We are all condemned already, but God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, and whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. It is our own choice if we are condemned and go to hell, or saved and go to heaven, God gave us the gift of salvation we just have to accept it.

Christians don't have the right to damn you to hell. That's a decision you make yourself by rejecting Christ's atoning death on the Cross. Hell was orginally made for the devil and his angels, not humanity. But people refuse to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and God has no choice except to let them go their sinful way to Hell.
I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but Christ Himself said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father except through Me." He didn't leave any room for half-measures or partial truths with that statement. It's either His way or not at all.
So I'm not the one who's telling you what your eternal destiny is. God's Word makes it very clear what the options are, and it's your decision to make.

Absolutely nothing at all gives any Christian the right to damn you to hell.
Only God has that right.
In the end, it is between you and Him.
Some Christians are trying to warn you, before it is too late, and they don't understand that their good intentions only wind up driving you further away.
The thing is, God is not willing that ANYONE should perish (including you), but that ALL should come to Him and live....
Do what you wish, of course...but do understand that no Christian can condmen you to hell, or anywhere else.
Understand that God does have that right. He created you, and you belong to Him...whether you realize it or not.

As a religion Christianity is not that old and I do have a problem with anyone just coming in and professing a new religion and then condeming those who choose to remain with their old religion instead of joining theirs. This is what they did and they also took much from the old religion when doing it although they don't like to admit that the proof is there in the old documents.

Christians who would say that aren't being very nice let alone being Christian. That isn't there right since they are not going to judge anyone that God's job alone.
People that do that are just not getting it and unfortunately give other Christians a bad rep...we were only told to "tell all nations" certainly not to judge.

As a Christian I would never "damn" anyone to hell, plus it's not a person's "job" to do that.
It is about a personal relationship with God. Yes there are some fanatical Christians (as there are fanatics in everything) and they believe it is their place to judge others. Sometimes it is a misguided attempt to "scare" religion into someone and I myself do not believe in that.
God is about Love and Grace, not about damnation.

We are not damning you to hell. We just want you to understand that as we have a lot of choices here on earth, there is only two choices what comes to eternity: hell and heaven. You get to choose. And your opinion about the truth does not change the truth a bit...but if you do not want to be with God, you do not have to. : )
