Revelations 21:8 (caps added)
But the FEARFUL, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Actually a better translation of the word fearful is cowardly. It takes courage to stand up and be counted for God.

i imagine it relies upon on the way it replaced into conveyed to you. If some Christian comes as a lot as you for my section and says you'll rot in hell because you're an atheist then i ought to assert it truly is incorrect. yet in case you hear a Christian instructor/preacher speaking about damnation and how unbelievers will perish, then they're faithfully preaching from God's word because it truly is what it says no matter if we like it. As a Christian we've the pastime to evangelise the full tips of God no matter if we accept as true with the message. yet why ought to you care on condition that Christianity on your attitude isn't authentic and God isn't genuine?

what does the idea "fearfull" even mean? With your list of the "fearful" you basicailly say everyone not willnig to accept gof or jesus. Well let me tell you, i don't fear any religion so I find it hard to see that im gonig to a place called hell. Also ironicially you place the opposite propaganda. Instead of saying that the fearful will be loved (which would recruit more christians) you tel them they are going to a place that they dont even believe in. I'm sure that really has an effect on them.

When you read the Bible in the same fanatic way as a Muslim there is not difference between the 2, Bible was written inspired by God, not written by God as Muslims says from their Koran, understand the meaning and the content and not look into the phrases with the excuses for condemn people, cause that has nothing to do with Christianity.

Because the fearful denied their faith under persecution.
For the early Christians, all they had to do is offer the smallest pinch of incense to Caesar, but God's law says: "Thou shalt not have any gods before me." And they chose death rather than be fearful and deny their Lord.
Contrast their faith today with those who say Just believe, Christ died for everyone. What will they say when they stand before the Judge of the universe to answer for their lack of faithfulness and hatred of sin?
Nothing! They are weighed in the balance and found wanting.
There is a Judgment message in the Bible, and an on-line publication tells you the exact year it began. Check out www.revelado.org/revealed.htm

The ones who have heard and understood the truth of the Word of God (Gospel of Jesus Christ) and know what it takes for their salvation, but are afraid (are cowards) and do not commit themselves (reject the Word of God) by living in the Word, the Will and the Ways of God. They shall have no part in the Kingdom of God but shall see the destruction of their soul as it is cast into the Lake of Fire and consumed.

Barnes Note on the Bible
Rev 21:8 -
But the fearful - Having stated, in general terms, who they were who would be admitted into that blessed world, he now states explicitly who would not. The “fearful” denote those who had not firmness boldly to maintain their professed principles, or who were afraid to avow themselves as the friends of God in a wicked world. They stand in contrast with those who “overcome,”
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

The fearful, you are talking about are the ones who know in their minds that they have done wrong, but never has done anything to recieve Gods' forgiveness, of their sins
You have to believe with your heart and your mind will follow, and your mind will let you know you have a choice, do what you want, or do what God wants you to do.

i dont understand exactly what you mean.....
are you trying to say "why are scared people going to hell?"
i believe that if you totally reject God, are a horrible person and kill, steal, hurt, rape etc.etc. just to be evil, then you dont have a very good chance of reaching heaven!
if you are truly sorry and repent, and try to make up for your sins, then God will forgive you. He wants us to follow Him so one day, we too can go and live with Him.
im not God, so i can t be the judge!
He doesnt just sit there and condenm everyone!
He is a loving God!
God Bless!

The Word of God says that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind. May God Bless U.
