Everyone has broken at least 3 of the 10 commandments, so how can people be "good" in God's eyes?
If he judges us according to the law, then we should all be condemned to hell and no amount of good works on our part will get us out of that.

No, it doesn't mean that.
Many of my fellow religionists don't read well, this is evident by the fact that they don't understand that the 10 Commandments were given by Moses from God to the tribes of Israel there gathered at the foot of Mount Sinai, not to all the world.

From the beginning there have been the children of God and the children of men.
The children of God are all those who have made God their absolute father, lord, king and savior.
The children of men are all those who do not want Him as their God. When they die, they continue to get their wish. They are without God and His love for eternity.
Getting what you want sounds very fair to me.

Being good was never the issue for entrance into heaven. Scripture says that "there is NONE good, no not one"
Our entrance into heaven with a HOLY GOD is measured by whether or not we have BELEIVED that God took it upon HIMSELF to pay our sin debt, and to GIVE US as a gift , the righteousness we need.
If we got what was FAIR...we would all be heading for hell.
God gives to us , in love, another option, and He paid the price to secure that option FOR you.
What more do you want Him to do? LOL

You must believe in the teachings of Christ whether you know him personally or not.
You don't get to hang out with a God who you don't believe in. Where you hang out is up to you.

No, because you are referring to commandments which were not given to gentiles, thus have no implication for xtians, Although it IS a good ethical code.

You first have to prove that they were good, and not just relatively good compared to other humans, but perfectly good, which is God's standard.

God does not send them to Hell. They send themselves.
