Why do born-again christians so easily condemn good people to hell just because they are not "born-again"?

Answer 1

That's the "Christian way"...

Answer 2

Well, first off, your question has many problems.
Born - Again Christians do not condemn people to hell. What they are doing is stating a position. The Bible clearly teaches that there are only two places for people who die, Heaven and the Lake of Fire (Hell). So, from their perspective, if you haven't given your life to Christ, then you are destined for the Lake of Fire. They are stating a fact in their world.

Secondly, you claim that they condemn "good people." I would challenge you to find anywhere in the bible that people are not referred to as sinners. There are no "good people" only sinners and those that have repented from their sin.

Here are a few references if you doubt me: Gen 6:5-6, Gen 8:21, 1Kin8:46, Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 51:3, Psalm 58:3, Psalm 130:3, Paslm 143:2, Eccl 7:20.... and the list is about twice this long. Email me if you want all the citations that I can come up with.

Born again people truly care about you. They cannot stand to see someone else destined for an eternity of torment. They tell you about hell and about Jesus because they don't want you to suffer.

May you find Jesus and the narrow road that he travels.

Answer 3

Born again Christians cannot condemn anyone to hell. Only the Lord can do that, and according to His word, the only way to get to the Father is through His son Jesus Christ. All the good deeds in the world will do you no good on judgement day. Only by accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour can anyone enter the gates of Heaven.

Answer 4

First off.. we don't condemn people to hell only the Bible does that.

Second THERE ARE NO GOOD PEOPLE. We all break the Ten Commandments. (Ex. 20)

“ The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it? Jer. 17:9

But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6

The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good. Psalm 14:1

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Heb. 9:27

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev. 21:8

"Born agains" just warn people that they are in danger of hellfire for breaking the Ten Commandments. If you were blind and were walking toward the edge of a cliff wouldn't you want someone to say something to you?

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

The perfect example of repentance is found in Psalm 51. The Gospel is simple. We're sinners doomed to hell unless we have a savior. Jesus (God in flesh) live a sinless life and was crucified so on judgment day those who repent can go free. Jesus paid our debt to God so we wouldn't have to. If we don't repent we pay for our sins in hell for all eternity.

Answer 5

Only God can condemn someone to hell. If they are speaking Gods Word to you and you find yourself condemned by Gods Word...".Good".. This is Gods plan. Now you have the choice to remain condemned or repent of your sin. The choice is yours no matter how you choose. You make the choice as to where you spend eternity. God does not make this choice for you, neither do Christians, you alone are responsible for this decision. God Bless You in your decision.

Answer 6

If they are born again, they would know that only God decides who goes to Hell. True Christians do not condemn anyone.

Answer 7

Because they are blasphemies, and they think they have attained something more then anyone else possibly could, Christianity, is an organized religion, just like any other belief, that has come from the mind of any other human. Theory, just like evolutionism, Atheism, Paganism, Wicca, they are all just a belief that a person or a group of persons have come up with to explain something that is unexplainable. You have to ignore them, and find out what it is you want to believe.

Answer 8

I claim that the ones judging really have no idea of the contents of the hearts of others.

Ganging up on people is stimulating and fun, unfortunately, and if one can turn to a book to justify it as right, why not just go for it?

Answer 9

Its a sad insecurity. Being always in the eyes of God is common in most people. I do not feel the need to be "reborn" since that is not a part of my faith.

I have to distance myself form such zealots.

I have been a Minister since 1999. I teach tolerance and acceptance in the name of God. It is not my place to condemn others believe, yet like politics, I believe we all have opinions and most of them are best kept to yourself, unless asked about them specifically.

Answer 10

men can't "condemn" anyone to Hell it's out of their hands.
if anyone goes to hell it's because they chose to by refusing the free gift of salvation.
it's not my job or anyone else's to condemn anyone.

Answer 11

because their religion is based on the principles of conquest.... christians have been flooding the earth since the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church... not once did they make this world a better place to be... they spent 2000 yrs of condemning it and it's people...... their god doesn't love their god only wants power to control...
