And I love God with all my heart, so why do you say I will burn in hell for calling Jesus God, instead of Jesus? I am not in a position to say who or what God is, nor did I ever shake hands with Jesus, so I can't say I know what he looked like either.
So why the hot place? or is this just Christian intolerence?

You may need to view my earlier question about Christian idolatory to understand this question.

Thats rediculous. Everyone will be mistakenly on ATLEAST something that they thought was true about God. Some things we just won't be able to understand until the day we die and then God reveals to us the reasons why. Don't let other people put you down for this beleif. Personally, I believe and KNOW Jesus was/is God. It is said in the Bible itself, such as "I and my father our one." I don't honesty remember which of the first four stories in the new testament that is in but I remember it is in the passage of Jesus saying "I am the Good Sheperd". If you have ever yourself, or know someone who has talked to God, whether in real times or when they died and were brought back in a hospital- God said himself "I am Jesus and God." No one who asked God this question had a different answer. But if someone disagrees, its OK- you WONT burn in hell for such a simple mistake. People forgot that our God is a loving God. He is caring, understanding, and above all else- merciful. Hes not going to condemn someone for something silly when they didn't know better. Even that is supported in the bible. "All sins will be forgiven men, as well as any word or blasphemy they may utter of The Holy Spirit."

Good Question! God is " I am". Jesus is God in human form. The Holy Spirit is in the Spirit form of God. Yes, Jesus is God! By the way, who has a Hell to put anyone in? I don't. Do you? I'm a christian with allot of Love. Maybe not alto of patience. You be bless on your views on God, Jesus and The Holy spirit.

I don't believe you - other wise you would know that Jesus is the SON of God.
I am not a particularly religious person, but can you tell
me where you got the idea that you will burn in hell
for calling Jesus God?

If you love him then believe what he says:
Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
So . . . God calls Jesus God. There you go. You make your own choice, I'm sticking with the source.

You'll be given the chance to accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, just as the multitudes of of non-believers will also be. No Christian should tell you that you're going to Hell because of this, because it is up to none of us to decide. The ones who do say this to you obviously have not read the book that they claim to worship and adore.
I'm a Christian, and I only pray that you have what you want in life, and get what you're searching for in death. And if you truly believe in the divinity of God, you'll also eventually see the divinity of Christ as well.

Lord means God in Judaism and Jesus was called Lord, especially by Thomas a Jew and who doubted that Jesus had rose from the dead. He said 'My Lord and my God' when he saw him. So Jesus is God incarnate.

You say you believe in God but did you shake hands with God? Do you know what he looks like?
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1:14
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father"
John 14:9
We can see God only because of Jesus, otherwise God is hidden!

Trinity. you end up on the road to Hell for rejecting Christ as Lord and Savior.
Jesus was 100% man and 100% God: that's what we believe. He was Immanuel, the man, and the Son, God.
