people tell me I am bound for hell, does it mean that they want to go to hell too?

I don't think it is a person's right to tell you that you are going to hell, but I do think it is your responsibility to examine your own life to conclude the reason why you deserve to go to Hell.
You see, most people on earth think they are going to heaven because they are good and God is a loving God and wouldn't send anyone to Hell. You haven't murdered anyone right? So how could God send you to Hell?
First and foremost you must understand that God is a Holy God and hates sin. Sin destroys yourself and all that it surrounds. "For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23. And death is not a pretty thing.
The reason why we all deserve Hell is because we are not righteous in accordance to God's standards. We have all broken God's laws not just once or twice but break them numerous times in just one 24 hour cycle. So count your sins against a Holy God and see why we all deserve Hell.
Have you looked with lust? Then you are a sinner. Have you harbored hatred against someone in your heart? Then you are a sinner. Have you desired something that isn't yours (covetousness) then you are a sinner. Have you used Jesus' name as a curse word? Then you are a sinner. And the list goes on.
So now I hope you can see why we all deserve Hell. And to say that God is not a loving God is a lie. For God by very definition is love. But God is also a just God. A Judge. And a good judge punishes sin. And that punishment is Hell.

that's not the essense of ANY good religion. The proper way it should have been stated is to do unto others as is RIGHT.
Example, if i lived by your maxim, and i'm a massochist, then I would want to hurt other people (since i want to be hurt as well).
If you're going to argue against faith, at least use an actual article of church teaching.

That's not the essence of Christianity, although it is important. The essence of Christianity is the fact that God is reaching out to us because we have no way of reaching him on our own.
If a Christian tells you you're bound for hell it's because he desperately wants you to change course.

No it doesn`t mean they want to go to hell. It`s just that the brightness of your eyes makes it appear as a mirror and they actually see themselves going to hell!!!

"do unto others as you wish to have done unto you"
is not a RELIGION item, but a HUMAN item. It is found all over the world... even in Roman Pagan.

More than likely, since it is not for us to judge, but only Christ himself on whom will go or not. I pray that you don't but it is ultimately up to you isn't it.
God bless and pray that they who tell you this are wrong, therefore making you righteous in the eyes of God.

That is not a way, they are not your judge, only God is your Judge so I'll share with you what God says in the Bible, God sent His Son Jesus to share with us, that the only way to the Father is through the Son, and the only way is to know that Jesus Christ went to the cross for our sins to be forgiven, because God is free from sin, and since we are born sinners, we are seperated from God, Only through Jesus can we be with God, If we believe the truth, that Jesus Christ went to the cross for our sins, out of mercy and love, not good works, and then we Repent, turn from our old self, old ways, sin in our lives, and mean it, then ask for forgiveness through Jesus CHrist, that is The only Way, We are told that, And it is TRUTH, you have to remove your spiritual blindness and trust God.

It would seem so. Given all the rules and regulations they have created for themselves, it is impossible to follow them all. Then they throw in this faith thing.
But, according to the bible, if they had true faith their prayers could literally move mountains. Since the mountains I am familiar with haven't moved in centuries I have to assume that no one is left with true faith.
Therefore, with no hope of salvation by works and no one qualified for salvation by faith it's going to be crowded down in the lake of fire. I'd buy your lakefront lots now before they are all gone.

It would seem that way to me. You find a lot of holy people saying more than non holy people too.

Reread the Bible, you'll get more meaning because you will find the answer inside.
