Are you crazy don't do this plzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your relatives sent you a postcard then they're not dead.You can't do this. i don't even know you and i care. I promise you with all my heart hell is NOT FUN AT ALL.you burn in hell forever. you feel the fire burning you will scream and yell no one will hear you. no one will be around because everybody is seperated.You will burn and burn and scream and cry (a lot) you will wish you could change what you did to get there.
I promise you with all my heart and soul hell will NOT be fun.

If you want to accept Jesus into your life and not go to Heaven then you can. You need to do this through study of God's word.
Born Again has nothing to do with being accepted into Jesus life. The first thing you need is to get to know who and what Jesus and his father are and why this is the start of accurate knowledge that leads to life?
John 17:3 is the first requirement you need to do.
The next thing in line with this is ask questions and see if the bible can give you the answers that show you what God wants?
For example you said that you prefer not to go to heaven?
Read Mathew 5:5 and ask yourself why Jesus would make that statement? The answer is because he knew that his father had promised this at Psalms 37:9-11,29.
The most important thing you can do is continue to ask questions and see if the bible can give you the right answers?
If you need help feel free to ask. The word of God is free to all who are searching for the joy of living on earth forever and gaining God's approval.
When people say the Lords Prayer they should consider what the words mean? Read it for yourself and see if the scriptures can give meaning to it?
Mathew 6:9,10=Psalms 83:18, Daniel 2:44 and Revelation 21:3,4
Hell, Before going to hell a person needs to know what hell is?
Webster’s Dictionary says that the English word “hell” is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades. In German Bibles Hoelle is the word used instead of “hell”; in Portuguese the word used is inferno, in Spanish infierno, and in French Enfer. The English translators of the Authorized Version, or King James Version, translated Sheol 31 times as “hell,” 31 times as “grave,” and 3 times as “pit.” The Catholic Douay Version translated Sheol 64 times as “hell.” In the Christian Greek Scriptures (commonly called the “New Testament”), the King James Version translated Hades as “hell” each of the 10 times it occurs.—Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14. So if you understand this then you are asking to die.

That will not work.... but there is an opt-out of heaven... it will result in your eternal seperation from God... the exact state of those so seperated is debated even among those of The Church... but it will not be a good thing that is for sure... you need do nothing to opt-out... just go about doing your own thing... and you will miss the bus for Heaven.

When your in hell you won see your friends or family, plus if you accept Jesus into your heart and live a Christian life you would want to go to Heaven and you would go there no matter what. You would be eternally happy and fulfilled in Heaven.

Why wouldn't you want to go to heaven? Where would you want to go instead? The way I see it, to accept Jesus (and to be born again) requires you to accept his promise that "his Father's house" (heaven) is the place that you want to go. If you don't want to go to heaven, then the problem isn't with heaven, it is with your concept of what that means...and your impression of heaven is probably a product of what you've learned about heaven from other people (people, mind you, that have never seen it!).

Don't worry about heaven... Genuine Christians will only be there for a short while in eternitys expanse anyhow.... then they will come back to rule and reign with Jesus here on the new earth...

Why don't you want to go to heaven? There is only sorrow and despair in hell. Read the entire book of Revelations, (last book in the Bible) and you will learn what happens to the baddies and the goodies. You want the goodie side, trust me.

Unfortunately theres only heaven and hell. For some reason we dont have the option of our soul dying and having an endless sleep. We still have to go somewhere.

That's the whole point of being born again and accepting Jesus. If not then what's the point? And I realy don't think where you go is up to you

What an odd question? If you accepted Jesus, then you would want nothing more than to go to heaven.
