Relax. Belief in Jesus is not going to save you, nor send you somewhere different.
You're going to fade away into muck and dust no matter WHO you believe in.

truthfully there have been ideas approximately this formerly Jesus got here, in any different case Jesus' parable in Luke sixteen with regard to the wealthy guy (who went to hades) and the poor guy Lazarus (who went to Abraham's Bosom) might have made no experience in any respect to his hearers! One difference between Jews and present day Christians is that Jews many times do not think of hell (Gehenna) lasts perpetually, yet in basic terms for a maximum of a year. The Christians did not insist on an endless hell till the 5th and 6th centuries, below Augustine in the West and Emperor Justinian in the East. the concern is slightly murky in that we don't understand precisely whilst the Hebrews reached this interest and whilst it became right into a favored perception. yet in 2 Maccabees 15:12-22, we do study that Judas Maccabeus had a imaginative and prescient of the severe Priest Onias, and the Prophet Jeremiah, who have been interceding in heaven for the Jewish people. EDIT: Why a thumbs-down? i take advantage of good judgment approximately Luke sixteen, and a pre-Christian scripture (2 Maccabees) -- what approximately it quite is unacceptable? Sheesh. @ Kelly: What you're saying is actual, different than that many of the third and 4th century Christian instructors (Origen, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory Nazianzen, etc.) taught that, after a time of purification, that ultimately each and every physique would be stored. This looks to have been replaced later by utilising Augustine (who did not understand Hebrew or Greek) and Emperor Justinian (who purposefully inserted yet another observe in the coaching to recommend endless punishment). @ Kelly: specific, Gehenna is hell. study Rabbi Akiba, "the 2d Moses," who mentioned: "The era of the punishment of the depraved in Gehenna is 12 months." Adyoth 3: 10. EDIT 2: Why do i believe Jehovah's witness prejudice right here? hear, it is actual that "Gehenna" became into the rubbish unload outdoors the city partitions of Jerusalem. yet it quite is used as a logo for wreck and being cut back off from God's people. And specific, it is sparkling that there became right into a considered advantages and punishment after loss of life, or back, Luke sixteen isn't smart in any admire. Jason ok. is totally the basically right option.

Perhaps you reached a time in your life when you feel you need to rebel against what clearly would not bother an intelligent person.
That could through logical thought and rationalization make up his own mind about Jesus. Something they claim to not care about yet acknowledges their existence.
You probably wear a foil hat and rubber gloves and boots so the aliens can't probe your brain. maybe you have 2 brains ones lost the other looking for it. or your just a loser. Thank you lord for helping answer this question

The only law is your own. The only belief system is the one only you can comprehend. You are your own judge and juror. Live life as you please. No one goes to Hell for mistakes. Hell is what we create on Earth. Without mistakes we would not grow. I'm not a religious person but i'm not going to Hell, half the time i'm already in it. My own doing usually. But i definately learn from the mistakes i make and that makes me a better, more understanding person. I have no fear because i know that whatever happens, i did my best.

Men have free choice, which God respect, so men too.
Because you asked, I will answerer how I think.
The greatest sin in don't believe in JESUS Christ, The Savior of the souls of men from the slavery of the sin.
Isn't a middle way, just two Light or dark for our soul.
Jesus when will come back, will show the sins of each men in their soul and will ask all men in their soul if accept Him to drive them,or no. You can't know how will be the answers of others people's soul when they will see their sins, like in an mirror, which will be their emotions, they cam become believers in that second, and will choice the light for their soul. That will happen in the same second for the all mankind.(jnsr)
God considered mankind has an adults intellectually development to can understand God in The Saint Trinity, and have the responsibility of his choice.
Read from jnsr:'JESUS: "I created you with many resources. They are all for the life of man and his long line of descendants. Buried in your ground to its bowels, they will find these resources according to their needs, they will find use for them along the thousands of years allotted to them". In their adult age, I will withdraw this Humanity from this Earth.
It will be the last generation having acquired all the physical, intellectual and psychological maturity wanted and demanded of man by God. For at the adult age of man, it is no longer Adam that I will hold responsible, but the accomplished man of that era.
And behold here is this man to whom I left enough time to understand that he can no longer do anything without loving God, His Creator, and his neighbor as his brother. Not only he was not content having destroyed My Heritage, the gift for all the generations of Humanity, he allowed himself to abolish God's Laws, thus creating instability in this World, by instituting in their place abominable man-made laws in this permissive society, in order to kill the family, the Country, by eliminating God.'

Man you must be around the wronge kind of christians forcing their relegion on you and i agree thats wrong. But i'm not really going to have a good answer for you, because it sounds like your mind is set to not let Jesus in. But i do suggest reading the Book of Matthew in the Bible and you'll find Jesus does love you. Good luck on what ever religion you choose. peace.

Christians demonstrate fear of the lord. What do you do when you're afraid of something? You either fight it or you befriend it. Voila, and christians befriend Jesus. This fear is essential for people to follow the rules in society. There has to be fear of something in order for the rules to have effect. This fear could be a punishment, consequence..ect. There will always be fear in society unless its perfect but that is an inpossible scenario. Also, when you demonstrate fear, you demonstrate respect. When you respect an entity so much, you beging to fear it. Thus, Christians "suck-up" out of fear to the lord.

First it's God not god, and God will be patient with you even if you're not deserving of it. He loves you in spite of your lack of Faith. God blessed us by putting Jesus on this earth to hopefully give some of us a clue to living a good Christian Life. Those Christians??? Did you know that Jesus was first a Jew. God has a plan for all of us and it's not just Christians. It's all humans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even you. I pray that someone enters your life and maybe puts a beautiful spirit in your sole to get rid of that bitterness you have.

all will stand before the judgement seat of Christ for the good or bad that they have done, thats fine if you dont believe but if you believe or not, one day you will be before Him. To be saved, to be forgiven of your sins in romans 10:9 its says that you just have to believe and confess Jesus as your Lord. Even though you dont love him, he loves you, but you must not wait till its too late, if you choose to reject Jesus its the only hope that one has of going to the father in heaven, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that who should ever believe on him should not parish, God did the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity from the hands of the devil, if you choose the devil as your father you will go where he goes, if you choose Jesus you will go to heaven and be with Him in paridise forever, the choice is your, choose this day whom you would serve. Hope you make the right choose because if you believe it or not one day you will be before him and have to give an account of your life. He loves you, but he must be your father to go to heaven. I would ask you to just read the bible, ask the Lord to show himself to you. The next life is the most important because its eternal, make the right choice. God cant do it for you, you have free will to do as you please. and Im not a narrow minded christian, nor am i perfect, nor better than anyone else, i just see the great difference in my life because of him

Ladydior has it right.
Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me."
No one's forcing anyone. It is completely optional. Choose wisely.

Religion is a means to seperate people even further. An attempt at self importance, to place themselves higher than you and I and every other free thinking individual. "We're going to hell as they ascend to heaven". Now doesn't that sound dandy?! Of course it does. According to them, we are on the losing team and who want's to be a loser right? Pffft, retards! But whatever, I'll go on living and so will you, respect the theists and their beliefs, but when they openly attack you for yours, SHOW NO MERCY! Be well friend and Darwin bless us all! =)
