Just thought I would put this question out there.

So according to TiBarbie not believing in a particular theology is significant enough of a sin to deserve infinite punishment.
I guess there is nothing I can say to such a statement.

Matthew 12:31-32 - "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Only a sadistic tyrant would sentence people to infinite punishment for committing sins in a finite existence. I don't think anything done in this life could warrant infinite punishment or infinite reward.

Nothing... I personally believe in karma, what you get comes back at you. But you could never make such a big mistake to need to be damned for eternity.

No sin, all are forgiven, just repent.
And I prefer to call it eternal separation, as that is what it is for those who choose to reject the offer of salvation.
After death you live for eternity, you choose where.

Hell was intended for the devil, but men who chose to serve him can end up there too, if they will choose freely not to be saved.
God gave us free will, because mankind was so determined to explore evil that we disobeyed His rules, way back "in the garden".
Our imperfect life of suffering (and even abuse at each others' hands) is the result of our own choice to explore good AND EVIL, against God's perfect will for us.
This life is a sample of hell, quite frankly, with God allowing sins and evil to ruin everything for us. This is to get through our thick skull His reason for limiting our freedom in heaven by not allowing sin & evil ever again.
It is a test of our willingness to live the (boring?) "goody-goody" life in Paradise.
If you refuse, fine...as they say in my country, then "go to hell"!
He does not drag mortals who oppose His Lordship, kicking, and screaming "No!" to live with Him in a sinless heaven. He loves you, even if you hate Him and insist on rebellion!
The unforgivable sin is sending yourself to damnation by refusing God's offer of eternal life without sins. God is not mean...but we are!!!
We fall short of the glory of God, so Jesus died in our place, if we will only accept Him as Lord, and obey God.
This offer is only good while your life here continues, and you still have the ability to reason. If you linger in a coma from an accident from later today until your death....all bets are off. The "test" is over!
Some hateful bullies think being good is boring. To hell with them, if they refuse to be good!
If they were with us in the after-life it would be hell, not heaven.

we are all sinners and we sin continuously popular and we could turn to somebody who can help us. he's the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the go so as that shall we be forgiven of our sins which will deliver us to Hell. we are all sinners and we sin each and each 2d of our existence. we sin as quickly as we don't think of approximately God for each 2d of our existence and we sin as quickly as we don't talk approximately Him each and every 2d of our existence. If we expect of or talk approximately the rest, different than God we sin. So we are sinners by way of and by way of and we can not supply up sinning seeing this is our sinful nature. only such as you are able to not supply up a dogs from barking. with this information that we are sinful by way of and by way of it facilitates you comprehend that God sent His Son to save us from our sins and that's the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the visit save. turn to Him immediately for he's the only way everyone seems to be to get to Heaven. it somewhat is thru His great artwork on the go and there is not any incorrect way that a man or woman would nicely be saved.

Murder. Rape.
Attempting mass genocide, a la Hitler.
Child abuse.
Suicide bombings.
Drink driving (to risk the lives of others in this way is appalling).

None, it's an idiotic premise made up by men to control the masses through fear and rules created to keep them in line.
It worked very well by a number of religions.

rejecting Christ
it is called blaspheming the Holy Spirit
that is the only sin you can commit to land you in eternal condemnation

If the punisher is an irrational tyrant, any excuse will do.
