I don't like that kind of judgmental attitude, frankly, and I can't imagine that God likes it either.

Only God knows our hearts, and only He has the right to judge who will be saved and who will be lost. The Bible says that "he will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth" (Psalm 96:13).
And because only God is our judge, we must never put ourselves in His place and say that we know a particular person will definitely be lost. Even at the last minute, that person may turn in faith to Christ and be saved — and then we would have been wrong.
Jesus warned, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Matthew 7:1).
A prideful, judgmental attitude has no place in the life of any true Christian.

According to the Bible, we are not supposed to judge the state of a person's soul. This would include predicting their destination in the afterlife.
However, we can say that a person's actions are wrong, that if they continue to abuse other people, or commit adultery, or steal, they are offending God and run the risk of going to Hell. Not to warn them would be to do them a terrible disservice, like not telling a person that their food is poisoned.
There are a lot of people who speak in a mean-spirited way. Please don't assume all Christians are that way.
Love the sinner but hate the sin.
May God bless you all.

they have the "right" to their own opinion. You have the right to not listen to them if that pleases you. It's not a judgmental attitude, you just see it as judgmental because it's not your belief. And, you don't have to say whether God likes it or not because it was not judgmental. People are brought up with beliefs from childhood or beliefs they determined over the years. If you call it judgmental then what gives "you" the right to call their beliefs wrong?
Like I said, everyone has an opinion, if you don't like their opinion then you can feel free to walk away, to change the subject, to say something corny, to ask them about their belief and learn, etc.

Indeed, there is no respect of persons with God:
2Chron 19:7 ... Rom 2:11 ... Jam 2:1 ... 1Pet1:17.
But there seems to be lots of such partialtiy against God.
Now who in their RIGHT mind of L/R minds would do this?
Repeating Law is Law Law. Grace is not Law Law.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

There are a quite a few people in this forum that have already prepared a list of who is going to hell. And some don't need a list. They have their avatars memorized.

They have the right to say it. You have the right to say otherwise.
Someone else's judgmental attitude is really none of my business. That includes yours.

If you are saved, you will go to Heaven. If you are not saved, you will go to hell. God will be the judge. he is the only one that knows your heart.

You're right, it's complete arrogance. You go to whatever level you belong and there are not TWO levels, in my belief system. Hogwash.
