They don't believe in god? I believe in him, but I don't believe he would send someone to hell for not believing in him. I think he would be dissapointed but he won't doom them to hell.

That is blaspheming and yes you will go to hell for that. That is an unforgivable sin. God is merciful and forgiving, but the one thing he asks out of you is to be is to be born again.

Yes!!!!
Well here's the thing. I'm none of these. My job as a pastor is to spread the Word of God, the Bible. Now the problem with this is that people have been brainwashed into thinking the Bible is just on passage, John 3:16:
John 3
16 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.
Well the problem is that this verse is taken out of context. Take a look at John 3:5:
John 3
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
You also have to baptized to be a Christian. You must also take the Bible and believe every word of it, without taking it out of context.
2 Peter 1
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
That's the problem. People take the Bible out of context. They add and change the interpretations to try to keep up with Science. They are really selling out to Satan, since Science is the Religion of Satan.
The fact of the matter is I could go on quoting the Bible all day, and I'm always going to offend someone. God is all those things you described as to me, above. I'm just His servant, and a teacher of His Wisdom.

Have you read the Bible?
Time on this earth as we know it WILL come to an end. The entire earth will be destroyed and made new again.
If God will not destroy the wicked who do not choose Him, then where are they going to go when He destroys the earth?
If you don't choose God, He won't force you to spend an eternity with Him. A good and loving God will not allow sin to continue forever. He promises an end.
Revelation 20:11-1 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

God's ways are not our ways - I believe - and if that's true, then your logic may be good in other areas, but wouldn't work for your statement.
I believe that God sent his only begotten Son as a sacrifice for the Sin of Adam, who disobeyed God and brought Sin into the human race. By believing on Jesus' (God's son) sacrificial death on the cross, and His resurrection symbolizing a new redeemed life we can avoid the consequences of Adam's sin and separation from God.
But we have to totally give our life to Christ - not many people do that, which is why you rarely see the power of the true living God manifest.

Belief in God is the beginning. But that alone won't keep you out of hell. Even the devil believes in God. He's just too proud to accept His help. Don't make the same mistake yourself.

I know it's hard to believe that God would send someone to hell. But it's true, what else do you think hell was made for. For those who don't believe in him. But we are not the one to say who goes to hell, It's choice we have, and a place we choose to go. It's in the bible. I have love ones who I know were very bad people, and it hurts me to think about them going to hell. But the choice was theirs. But maybe they were saved before death took them. We never know. But you can count on knowing there is such thing as hell. And know without a doubt there is a heaven.

The Bible is the best place to find out exactly what constitutes eternity in hell. But I wonder, If a person didn't believe in something, why should they expect a reward for it? Honestly if someone hated you, disrespected you, disregarded your laws, undermined you or dismissed or replaced things that you mandated . . . would you give them an expensive gift? Mostly likely not - huh?
God Bless

this is a great question. God doesnt want to see people go to hell. He is very saddened when someone chooses to reject God. but people make that decision everyday to reject God and unfortunately their punishment is eternal damnation. we werent created to go to hell. We were created to spend eternity with our father, the Lord of our salvation. but their has to be a punishment for refusing God and that is hell. If their wasnt than a person who doesnt believe in God would get the same riches as a person who believes in His word and walks with God while we are on this earth. Believe me their is a real place called hell. And God is so sadden and heart broken when he sees one of his children choose eternal damnation rather than everlasting life.

Hell is simply the grave. There will be a judgment day and the wicked will stand before God. There will be an everlasting punishment for the wicked. That punishment however is not everlasting torment, it is everlasting death. They will become as if they never were. The belief in eternal torment is not biblical. It has it's roots in paganism and was adopted by the early church of Rome along with many other pagan beliefs such as the immortal soul.

If the saying "God is love", is true, then the very concept of there being a hell to which he consigns unbelievers makes a lie out of such a description. The fact is, the divine spark that burns in all of us unites us with the greater force some choose to call "God". There is no separation possible.

If you dont believe in god then your sin isn't forgiven and you do go to hell, if you really think about it that not believing in someone who gave you life is really a disrespect issue, besides that I dont believe hell is for eternity, just for the time calculated by how much sin you have done on earth.
