Does Jesus love everyone or just Christians?

Question

Why would he send someone he loves to hell? Buddhist are good people and do good things, why would he send them to hell?

Ten points to the Christian that can answer this with REASON and LOGIC.

Answer 1

heh. good luck with the 10 points.

Answer 2

Jesus died for all of us. He did this so we would have a way to fellowship with God again, due to the fall, because of His great love for us. The Bible said that we can not get to heaven or have a relationship with God through our own works, ie being good and doing good things. God made it this way so we couldn't boast about what we did. Salvation is based solely on what Jesus did. He wanted to totally anihilate our pride and let us see how much we needed Him. All we can do is simply receive the gift of salvation by believing and repenting.
Love is an awesome thing but it also comes with responsibility and consequence.
If we have kids and we love them, then we correct them in order to keep them safe and prevent worse problems down the road. We tell them not to run out in the road because a car could be coming. But if they're rebellious and don't want to listen, they're going to end up with "splat!" Does that mean we stop loving our kids because they didn't listen to us? No way and neither does God stop loving us for our choices. Jesus is saying that He is the Way. We can listen and avoid the "splat" experience or we can ignore it and face the consequence of our choices.
Those who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to God send themselves to hell by their own choice. The choices are either heaven or hell, whether or not we like the choices. We can have one or the other and by not making a choice we really are making one.
You see, Jesus loves you that much that He's telling you what your choices are and why right now so you don't have to wait until it's too late. You can't make the right choice when you're dead.

Answer 3

Yes he loves everybody. What Hell? Its called the "lake of fire" badly interpreted by sadistic early church leaders to instill fear into the people. Why?......It kept the people in the church, out of fear, along with the wealth that the people brang in for the church. Sadly, its still the same way today. Most Christians go to church out of fear of going to hell. Not for the true love for God. And I do know that after many Christians read this post, I will be severely persecuted. I am a Christian, I worship in the invisible church, where the cornerstone (Jesus) is located. The Bible says nothing is impossible with God, and I truly believe this. Therefore God is able to show Himself to different cultures, in any way, and in any religion as He chooses, and God chose all. Otherwise God cannot reach His goal that He purposed to be All in All. God wills , He speaks, He changes not, He purposes, And His will be done.

Answer 4

Why do parents discipline there children when the disobey? Its the same thing with God. It says in the Bible that God is a jealous God. Can't say that I blame him. If you created something or someone perfect and out of love, you would expect them to love you in return. God created that Buddhist. But instead of thanking God for his life and believing in the very God that allows his existence, he chooses to worship a false God. He loves that Buddhist so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die a horrible death so that even though we are sinners who deserve hell could have eternal life, and live with God forever. God does all that yet people choose to worship a God that has done nothing for them, an idol. They chose to worship a man made statue over the God of all creation. We all have a choice. We can either choose to live with God or live without him. God gave an open invitation to everyone on this earth to be able to live in heaven forever. You see its not God who condemned that Buddhist to go to hell, Its the Buddhist condemning himself, by choosing his own way and choosing to separate himself from the very God who created him.

Answer 5

Can you ask does god( the super power) loves every one.
Has the God created this world or is it that we have created a God for all that we don't have answer to.

To be practical we live and do good things,if we do good to other ,then other will remember you after your death. So you are in the minds of others for long for all good things you have done to them.

To become a good person we should have fear of doing wrong things. This fear is created by the punishment you get from some one who is super power. So the unknown source of punishments may be in form or deceases,pain, calamity or natural disaster,epidemics etc.

Punishment acts as a deterrence to wrong doings. You do good, you love yourself for being good person.This is how god loves you. The super power has several names - Jesus,Allah,Budha,Rama etc. They say God is Love.

It is your choice to make this world a heaven or Hell during your life time.

Answer 6

You may be interested in what is fairly heavy reading at http://www.outsidethecamp.org/gospatone.htm where the author mentions that

"Universal atonement advocates use John 1:29 to try to prove that their "christ" took away the sins of everyone without exception. Yet they also say that there are some who are burning in hell. Were the sins of those who are burning in hell taken away by the blood of their "christ"? If so, why are they burning in hell? It is because their "christ" actually accomplished NOTHING on the cross."

Food for thought, and the site is good reading if you have the time.

Answer 7

Jesus loves all people. That is why he gave his life to pay for our sins.

Jesus/God does not send people to hell. In fact, to my knowledge the Bible does not say this anywhere. What it does say is that the person who does not believe will go to hell. It is in other words, his or her choice. It is a result of their own action.

The only reference in the Bible to God sending any one to hell is at the end of times...when Satan and his followers are cast in to the pit. I think that may be where some people get the idea that God makes the choice for you. He does not.

Answer 8

Well I don't care about the 10 points, but Jesus does love everyone. God gives us free will. What we do throughout our life determines whether we are going to heaven or hell. He doesn't send people to hell, they send theirselves because of the life that they chose. I don't know what to say about Buddhists. What would happen to them if they've never been witnessed to about God? Would God let them in because they had no idea?

Answer 9

First of all, Jesus was a Jew. Secondly, in his ministry he reached out to those considered "unclean" by the rules of Judaism, such as lepers, Gentiles, the hemorrhaging woman, the blind, beggars, prostitutes and tax collectors. He talked with a Samaritan woman, Samaritans and Jews hated each other. Jesus tried to show the religious institution of his time that God's love knows no boundaries. So it seems to me that if we were to truly follow Jesus' example, we would be open to all kinds of people, especially those we consider "outsiders," or "those." Whoever that may be.

Answer 10

No one goes to hell eternally. King Constantine changed the Bible at the council at nicea in 324 AD he took out everything to do with karma, reincarnation, and vegetarianism, He made hell eternal to control the citizens. He added Paul's teachings who never even met Jesus. Paul was a false prophet. Jesus loves everyone and he didn't die on the cross he was in a mystic yoga samadi on the cross and after he got out of the cave he went on preaching in other parts of the world. You can't kill a pure son of God. He came to save by reestablishing the truth which appeared to be lost. He said those who believe in me will be saved. Believing means following He said "Go and sin no more." At baptism he takes ones past sins and then they are responsible to learn his teachings and the laws of nature and follow. Just like a father who tells his sons how to live and how to not get hurt. Does he hate them if one makes mistakes and hurts them self. No nor does Jesus. google gospelofthenazirenes.com -The original New testament. One has to understand karma, reincarnation, and no one goes to hell eternally to understand the unlimited mercy and love of God.

Answer 11

Christians say:
1. Jesus is the only way to heaven.
2. Faith in Jesus comes by hearing about Him.
3. You cannot hear about Jesus unless someone tells you.
I say:
What about those who never have or never will hear of Him?
Christians will respond:
Well, Romans 1 says that God will reveal himself to them.
I say: Then Jesus isn't the only way
My conclusion:
Yes, Jesus is the only way and yes, all will go to heaven, even those who have not heard of him. Why? because he died for the whole world. Even those who do not believe in Him either through conscious unbelief or ignorance.
