Serious question....please give a direct answer of a yes or no answer in addition to your explanation...

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses themselves believe that their fellow Witnesses who expire all go to "hell"; some are immediately resurrected to heaven, but most remain in "hell" until after Armageddon (please keep reading).


It seems useful to mention that the bible does NOT teach that a "soul" is some immortal otherworldly entity that exists apart from a physical body. Instead, in the bible "a soul" is simply "a life"; at death a person's "soul" or "life" returns to Jehovah in that life originates from God, and all future prospects for a resurrection of that life rest with Jehovah God.

(Job 12:9-10) The hand of Jehovah itself has done this, In whose hand is the soul of everyone alive And the spirit of all flesh of man

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning - it itself will die.

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Acts 3:23) Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.


The bible teaches that after Armageddon, there will be a resurrection of nearly all humans who have ever died, to a restored paradise earth. The graves will be emptied!

(John 5:26-29) For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. ...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out

(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.


Now, regarding the so-called "hell", it is interesting to reflect on the fact that the Old-English word "hell" merely meant "underground". Some rural folks still refer to the practice of "helling potatoes" which refers to the fact that they are buried, and has nothing to do with cooking. Re-read Scriptures that use the term "hell" and note that the vast majority make perfect sense when the word "underground" is substituted.


This is not perfectly consistent, because there are actually three different Greek words that English bible translations commonly translate as "hell", including the King James Version. Those terms are "Tartarus", "Hades", and "Gehenna".


Tartarus
The bible never uses the term "Tartarus" in connection with humans, but only in connection with demonic former angels. Since only spirit creatures are involved, "Tartarus" seems to be a CONDITION rather than a PLACE. The word “Tartarus” is also used in pre-Christian heathen mythologies. In Homer’s Iliad this mythological Tartarus is represented as an underground prison ‘as far below Hades as earth is below heaven.’ In it were imprisoned the lesser gods, noteworthy in that the bible and other ancient literature consistently uses the term "Tartarus" exclusively in connection with superhuman creatures.

(2 Peter 2:4) God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment


Hades
The term "Hades" is not a fiery place of torture, but rather the common grave of mankind (the state of being dead). The bible plainly teaches that Jesus himself was in "Hades" after his impalement but before his resurrection. Also, the bible teaches that "death and Hades" will be destroyed forever after God resurrects everyone (and "empties" Hades.

(Acts 2:22-33) Jesus the Nazarene... fastened to a stake by the hand of lawless men and did away with. But God resurrected him... David says respecting [Jesus], ‘...you [Father] will not leave my soul in HADES... [David] was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would seat one from the fruitage of his loins upon his throne, he saw beforehand and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he forsaken in HADES nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses. Therefore because he was exalted to the right hand of God

(Revelation 20:13-14) Death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.


Gehenna
The bible term "Gehenna" refers to death without hope of resurrection. Interestingly, the bible term "Hades" ("hell") is destroyed in Gehenna once that grave has been emptied by resurrections. The grave will no longer be needed since humans will then live forever! The term "Gehenna" is synonymous with other bible terms such as the "second death [different from first death allowing resurrection]" and with the "[metaphorical] lake of fire [which destroys the dead one's remembrance]".

(Matthew 10:28) And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

(Revelation 20:13-14) Death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.

Answer 2

Being Muslim isn't a ticket to paradise. If someone is just Muslim by name it doesn't mean anything. They are just as likely to go to hell. To be a Muslim you have to truly have faith in Islam, in Allah and his prophets, and be obedient to Allah. There will be countless "Muslims" in hell because they stepped off the road of Islam and will not be allowed entrance into heaven until they are given their punishment. Allah looks a the heart of a person/ believer. Not just that they were a Muslim. And you don't need anyone to convert you. If you are devoted to finding truth, you will find it. Allah said, if someone takes 1 step towards me I will take a 100 towards them. Look at all the people who converted to Islam, they had to find truth. Truth doesn't come over night, you have to put some effort into it. And you can't know the truth without knowing the wrong first. So rule out everything you think doesn't make sense at all. The rest will follow. Good Luck i.e.. no one can convert anyone until their heart is open. A person doesn't convert someone, they are just a means for discovery. One converts themselves, and through Allah's mercy.

Answer 3

You said this is a serious question, well, here is a serious answer. The Bible says in John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (vs. 17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him the world might be saved " So, the answer to your question is this. Whether or not any of those people you mentioned go to hell when they die, doesn't have a thing to do with what I think, but has EVERYTHING to do with what each one of those people decides to do about accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour or not. That is the Bible, the Holy Inspired Word Of God talking, not me. I am not their judge, I just love them all, like God told us to .

Answer 4

Yes. But it doesn't matter what I believe. It's all about what is written. Jesus Christ said it in a nutshell. "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh to the Father but by me." Can it be any clearer than that? So anyone, including those who profess to be Christians, trying to get to God by anyone but Jesus, will fail and (to His deepest regret), go to hell.

Answer 5

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. (John 14:6)

Answer 6

I believe that anyone, regardless of religion is going to hell...UNLESS they give their lives to Jesus. Jesus died for the sins of the world. He does not want anyone to suffer hell. But many will. The only way to Heaven is through the blood of Jesus Christ. All you gotta do is accept His gift of salvation. He already paid the price...God bless you.

Answer 7

All who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and be allowed entry into Heaven... and ONLY those... There is only One Way to God.... all others will be eternally separated from God... there is legitimate debate among those of The True Christian Faith as to what exactly will be the fate of those separated from God... but it is not going to be good regardless of what it is...

But...Yes, all who reject and refuse to come to God as he prescribes will be in Hell

The word hell has taken on so many connotations that it is not possible to have any clear definition of it, or of what it will contain.... I am just grateful to God for accepting me and freeing me from having to worry about it. My Salvation is absolutely assured by God's personal promise to me.

Answer 8

anyone that does not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

I believe that at the end, all will be given one final opportunity to accept Him.


It's your choice, choose wisely.

Answer 9

Funny how they believe this and still have the nerve to look at a fraction of Muslims and say Islam is anti-peaceful and anti-merciful. I don't mean to offend anyone by saying this and forgive me if I did. It just really annoys me.

Answer 10

According to the bible, if anyone does not repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as their savior, they are going to hell.

I believe the bible. I trust that answers the question.

Answer 11

Anyone that doesn't believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and takes the blood of Jesus will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is including Roman Catholics.
