One last question for the Christians today?

Question

When an adult who has not accepted Jesus dies. Does that person go to hell?

This is IMO the fundamental problem with christianity. There are people who are never exposed to the religion, yet, this supposed fair and just God sends them to burn in hell for eternity. Does that not reek of BS and just scaring people into living a certain way that is beneficial to the powers at be. This is why I will never accept Jesus because I don't beleive in a God that would do that. It always boils down to this for me and christ, this is why we don't see eye to eye.

Mike, your answer is the only one that wasn't hypocritical considering you left the judging up to your God and didn't judge the non-beleiver yourself. Isn't judging considered a sin in christianity?

Answer 1

Evidently it takes a terrifying threat to get people to believe in this hogwash. Why, I wonder, is that?

Answer 2

Even though I believe in God I do not believe in hell. I am a mere mortal and if it were up to me (if there were a hell) the only people who would go there would be baby rapers and gruesome, vicious serial killers. So I could never believe that an all loving, all knowing God would damn someone to ETERNAL pain and suffering, just for something they do or don't believe (which in reality isn't a choice, you ether believe something or you don't, you can't help that). This idea of Hell, my friend.... was all a ploy by the church to keep everyone coming back to donated all their hard earned money every Sunday.

Answer 3

You mean that if an adult who didn't accepted Jesus Christ as his/her savior and then dies for some reason, yes that person will be judged by God unless that person has never heard about the word of God. I think God is fair and will judge you fairly.

Answer 4

The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohl´ and its Greek equivalent hai´des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge´en•na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment) so when you die, and when I die, and most of mankind when they die go to hell.

Answer 5

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Not too much ambiguity there. Pretty straight forward.

Answer 6

Yes. The Bible CLEARLY says that if a person does not accept Jesus as their personal Savior then that person will spend forever in hell. It doesn't matter if that person was a good person or not...

Answer 7

Yes.

Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Answer 8

The Great White Throne Judgment is the first stop according to my understanding of the Bible. There they will meet Jesus face to face, you definitely don't want this to be your first encounter with the risen Lord.

Answer 9

yup. im sorry to see that you are going to let a little thing like pride come between you and Heaven, since God dosen't do it the way you think he should then you will have no part of it

Answer 10

Judgment is left up to Christ. Praise the LORD.
And that is what the WORD says.

Answer 11

That is for God to decide, but more than likely yes.
