okay let me explains this to you, it is not your place to judge weather someone or yourself is a good person or not. You are the sheep you don't no where to go unless there is a shepherd to lead you. Jesus is the only way that can lead you to heaven and save you from the END of the world. If you are not a christian you will go to hell, you have no faith in Jesus he cannot save you because you are not letting him help you. You cannot say "I will not go to hell because I am a good person." Again I am going to say this you can NOT judge yourself weather you are a good person or not. It is not your place! Now you will say "ohhh but my religion can save me from hell." But can it really? I've studied the world religions and I found that ONLY ONLY christians can get redemption, because they allow Jesus to save them. So why not you do the best of your time that still left by becoming a christian.
Jesus Loves you.

I don't know why haters choose to hate me, my will is to open your eyes and help you to accept Jesus. It's not my ideal that you will choose to go to hell or not.
Jesus loves you

I'm a pretty good person (I don't curse, I help others, I respect the elderly) but alot of people keep telling me I'm going to hell. It's for the mere reason that I'm a non believer. It would really be unfair if I have to go to hell just cause I'm a nonbeliever while a sinner gets to go to heaven cause he's a believer and he confessed. If there is a God, he gets to choose if I go to hell or not, not the church and unknowing Christians.
But Bill Mac, how can I force myself to believe in something that I don't believe in? I can't control that, what I can control is my actions, so i choose to do good deeds.

You get to choose Sarah, not the church and unknowing Christians. That is part of the free will we all have. It is not going to be God deciding for us..
We are all born separated from God. If you do not know God as being real in your life, you are separated. Sin is the cause of this, sin being defined by the 10 commandments. It is anything we do that offends God or another person.
Offending someone causes a "death" of our relationship with them. If we love and care about them, we would feel sorry about what we have done, asking them to forgive us, and would try not to do the things to hurt them again. This is repentance. It is completely up to the one we have offended to forgive us, whether it be God or someone else.
It is dependent on you, and no one else, to repent and ask God to forgive you. Why would you do this? Love. A desire to restore your relationship with our living God. For those willing to repent, God has provided an even better way... Jesus Christ.
Through Christ, we enter into a new covenant with God. He restores our relationship, forgives us of our sin, and gives us a new life... a new way to love Him and other people. This is what Christianity is really all about. It is more than a religion... we are changed and live as one with Him.
God could command that we be obedient, or that we love Him. That would not truly be love though. Love has to be given of the others free will (there is that word again.) It is what we were made for. It is the essence of our heart and soul. It is found in most all of our songs, books, movies, etc. It is what God wants from us. It is what we want from each other.
This new life in Christ, His mercy and grace in forgiving our sin is a gift of love from God. Your choice to accept this gift or not. There is nothing you must do to earn or deserve it, other than to love the one who gave it to you.

"ONLY ONLY Christians can get redemption, because they allow Jesus to save them. So why not you do the best of your time that still left by becoming a christian."
Ah, sweeping assertions that hold no real weight in an argument, the main weapon of the Christian.
Remember, you are the one who condemned yourself to a "sheep" who needs guidance, instead of flourishing as a free human being. What a waste.

My god you are lost. I pity you. You haven't a clue about the reality around you and you never will because you are so poisoned by religion.
