i want everyone who believes i will burn in hell for all eterinty to give me their house keys, all the money in their bank acounts, and everything else they own because it says in YOUR bible
Luke 6 30
"30Give to every man that asketh of thee"
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206:30&version=9;
and i am asking for everything you own. as you said to me it says in the bible i'll burn in hell, well it also says to give to all those who ask. so if you dont you are telling me that you chose from the bible what you believe in. so then you could chose that all non believers in jesus will burn in hell.

1) "burn in hell"...don't know, but I don't think the flames were more than a metaphor for a miserable place. Apparently some commentators have noted that there was an ever burning trash heap outside Jerusalem and that Jesus was using that for analogy.
2) Yes
3) Hell according to what I understand of it is eternal separation from God. I don't know what aspects of the analogies and metaphors used in the bible are literal or figurative...and if figurative, what literal entails.
Lastly, I just wanted to comment that hell would certainly be unfair, unjust, if people were sent there as a result of circumstances beyond their control. But if it's a choice, and people choose to reject God in spite of the dangerous alternative, then it's really them "sending themselves" rather then God "sending" them. Kind of like when a criminal breaks the law. Yes the judge sentenced him, a jury convicted him, and guards escorted him, but at the end of the day he sent himself to jail. Same with hell. Big difference - you can avoid a hell sentence after being found guilty. Not so with the human justice system.

Hell is the separation from God (love). Left to the hate that lives there. As a Christian I have wondered about the people who never had a chance to learn about God and Jesus. So heres what I believe. That when Christ died he took the keys of hell. He took people to heaven that were not going there before. This is my interpretation, so therefore I believe that it will happen one more time at the end of time to give the people who did not have a chance one last chance to make a choice. My life has had many blessings so I feel comfortable in believing that God and Jesus have mercy and love for all and will give that extra chance. I hope you find what you are looking for. Religion is always up to interpretation, but faith is what you will need to hold on to.

What if there is a man who has lived an awesome life in the Amazon? He is married and has kids. He has never heard of Jesus Christ in his whole life. Never heard of God. Never read the Bible. He has been a good man. He has worked hard and been faithful to his wife and been a wonderful father to his kids. Is he going to go to hell? No. He will learn about the gospel when he dies. There will be people there to greet him and teach him about Jesus and God until the resurection. If you die and you do not believe in Jesus and God... then it is the same thing.... the truth will be shown to you. They do exist. If you still resist.... then you will be sent to hell which is this: You will be denied access to be in their presence. You may not think this is bad because you don't remember before you were born. Before you were born you chose to come to earth from heaven to learn something. You walked with God and Jesus. You loved them very much. It broke your heart to come to earth and be away from them. Now you will feel their presence and you cant touch them, hear them, see them, but you will know people who can and it will fill you with much jealousy, rage, and a sadness that you can't possibly describe. It will be like talking on a phone to someone you can't hear but they can hear you.....but they don't care to listen to you so it's like talking to a wall.

A true Christian is a follower of Christ. So, do all
Christians believe? If they are a follower of Christ
and believe He is the Creator of everyone and
everything, and follow his ways as outlined in the
Holy Bible. That's how you can know. It's a choice
we all have. You are so blessed when you're Christ's
adopted child, so why would anyone not love him but
rather love Satan and burn in an eternal hell?

I believe that 100%. Jesus said He is The Way and The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is no other way to heaven. The entire Bible backs it up. Jesus warned of the consequences of rejecting Him as your Savior. Rejecting Jesus Christ will make Him turn His back to you on judgement day and you will be cut off from Him for all eternity. That in itself is hell.

I am a new christian, but doesnt the Jewish religion, believe in the one and only God? Jesus is God. I think religions / people, that believe in the all powerful God, will not burn in hell. Other wise yes they have to face the consequences of thier actions and burn.

Jesus said in John 14: 6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." So, who am I to disagree with Jesus?

I don't think so. There are plenty of people blissfully unaware of the beliefs of Christianity. Besides, don't all religions supposedly say that we don't believe in their God, then we'll go to their hell. If that's true, then no one's actually going to heaven. Hell, from bible study class in elementary, is a place where all the "bad" people go, it's guarded by Satan and that it's supposedly a place of fire.

Two things
1. It's not hateful if it's the truth, there is nothing more loving then the truth.
2. You're assuming that 2/3 of the world don't know that there is a creator or know who Jesus is. There are christians all over the world. Also, even the guy in the jungle knows that there can only be one creator who created all things.

no. God will judge everyone fairly and justly. In fact, God expects more from Christians, because we know his will.
"And that slave who knew his master's (God the Father's) will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes. But the servant who didn't know what his master wanted and did things for which he deserved punishment will receive a light beating. A lot will be expected from everyone who has been given a lot. More will be demanded from everyone who has been entrusted with a lot." Luke 12:47-48
