Apparently thats what he does. Apparently he sends us to hell if we don't believe in him, very "loving". And he doesn't even proove he exists so that we all know what will happen if we "reject" him. The "bible", doesn't proove anything. There's many people, good and decent who were brought up in differnet cultures which shaped their views of the world and hense why they are Hindus... etc. And god will punish them.....?

First, there is no such thing as "innocent people". That is unless you know someone who has never done any wrong.
That would mean never lied; never hated anyone; never took something that wasn't theirs, never cheated their boss or company, was never jealous, envious, impatient, unkind, lustfull, deceptive, selfish, etc; etc. We all have done wrong at some time. Look around you, listen to the news,..just full of innocent people? If we are all innocent, why do we put locks on our cars and houses?
Secondly, if you were to look at a fine automobile, you may be impressed with the design. How everything functions together so that auto can do what it was designed for. Yet, what amazes me is people see nature and the universe and hear about how it all works together and how complex it is, and see with their own eyes wonderful and beautiful designs and then say that there is no designer. The fact that if the Earth were closer or farther away from the sun, we could not exist here. Is that really just a cosmic coincedence or was the Earth placed in just the right spot by a designer? If we look around we can see the evidence of design all over. That requires a designer. If one chooses to ignore all that and still reject God and his free gift of a way out, or a way to avoid hell, then whos fault is it. The way to heaven is open to anyone who will take it, if we refuse to take it, we can't blame God for our decision.
God could force everyone into heaven I suppose, but that would basically make us all slaves or simply robots that only move when and how God says to move. Is that what you would rather humanity be?
God could have said that we are all guilty of something and send us all straight to hell impose justice on us. He didn't because of his love for us. Lets not forget that he gave his son to suffer the punishment we deserved so that we could choose heaven over hell.

I am not against the Christian religion but I don't understand why they HAVE to be Christian in order to go to heaven. Didn't God create humans in his OWN image? Didn't he create humans the SAME WAY? So why are so we so "different"? I truly agree w/ you. There are so many people who are truly devoted to their religion (I am a Hindu and my grandfather is a true devotee...he prays and meditates everyday and he truly believes in God) so they're going to be sent to hell because they're not Christian? Is that right? I believe that religion is what causes all these problems. The customs and and ideas are fine. It's just the fact that people think that there religion is better when in general they all believe in a Supreme Being. They are, in general, THE SAME! So why do we all have resentment towards each other. I would like to hear a decent Christian perspective to this question. I really like this question and I hope people think the same way.

God doesn't "send" anyone to hell. If a person, by choice, does not accept Jesus as their savior (be born again) that choice results in their going to hell. It isn't God's will that anyone should perish. That's why He sent his Son to die on the cross for us. John 3:16-17 tells us "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved."

Cos that's what you all let us know. "human beings flow to hell simply by fact they go with to flow to hell" Crap. "we are in a position to the two go with to understand, love, and serve God or we are in a position to reject Him and decide hell." Sorry - i'm only no longer into imaginary little area chaps. W C Easttom: God says, do what you prefer, yet make the incorrect selection and you'd be tortured for eternity in hell. That sir, isn't unfastened will. it may be comparable to a guy telling his lady buddy, do what you prefer, yet once you go with to leave me, i'm going to music you down and blow your brains out. whilst a guy says this we call him a psychopath and cry out for his gaoling or loss of existence. whilst god says the comparable we call him 'loving' and construct church homes in his honour. ~

because he offers you a choice with consequences for each. If you choose not to believe, then you must face consequences. The Bible is clear on how one can get to heaven, if you want to go there you have to follow God!

The Bible teaches that there are no innocent men.
The Bible teaches that all men can acknowledge God (Jesus) and worship Him.
The Bible teaches that some will refuse to do so.
Those guilty men who reject Jesus will go to the Lake of Fire.
Those guilty men who believe in Jesus will go to heaven.

We didn't need proof when we lived with Him before we came here. Don't you think He wants us to pass this test? Nevertheless, the plan and the consequences were explained to all of us, and we chose to accept the challenge.

Look, the bible says that god is love. he does not send people to hell...a loving god would not send his people to be tortured forever.
