Christians: do you think that all of the atheists on the R/S section will end up in hell?

Question

unless they come to believe in the god and jesus at some point in their life?

Answer 1

That's not up to me. Do I look like the gatekeeper of the lake of fire?

But no, I don't necessarily think that is so. Are you a person of good will who is objecting because you just haven't been able to integrate religious belief in your life? Here's what my church has to say about that.

"Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation." (The catechism.)

Answer 2

If a person did research into the Bible they would find out the the Bible hell is simply put: just the common grave of mankind. Not a fiery place of torment. Eccl. 9:5,10 tells us that in that condition, they are conscious of nothing at all. Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconceptions that people, christian or otherwise, have due to lack of knowledge of the truth of the Bible. I think a lot of people become atheists because of the hypocrisy of many so called christians.

So in answer to your question, I think everyone who dies goes to the Bible hell or grave.

However, the Bible promises more for us, if we do His will.
God promises everlasting life on a paradise earth.
(That's God's will according to the Bible and not what any man says.) (Ps. 19:1; Ps. 104:24; Rom. 1:24 show how creation testifies to the fact that their is a creator. Much like the fact we know that a camera had an intelligent designer. Would it be reasonable to say that far more complex things like the eye or brain didn't originate with an intelligent Designer?)

Answer 3

Well, of course Christians do!!! Do you ;believe in God and Jesus? If so, why are you judging, or asking a question for someone should judge an atheist. Look up what Jesus was trying to teach us. DO NOT JUDGE is a definite commandment to EVERYONE. What atheists do or say doesn't bother me, because everyone has the right to believe anyway they want to i.e. Love thy neighbor as thyself - or words to that affect. A question for you. What percentage of Christians do you think will end up in "hell".

Answer 4

I personally am leaning towards Christian Universalism, so I'd be inclined to say no, but I don't know.

I don't understand why a belief in "hell" for people who don't think like you is necessary for belief in Heaven.

Answer 5

Only the one who sees into all hearts and minds (God) can judge who is or is not worthy of salvation.

I think heaven will be full of surprises (good ones), not at all what any of us expect. I think we may be surprised who "made it" and who didnt.

I think a sincere atheist, who is truth seeking and lives well can obtain heaven, its certainly a possibility.

Answer 6

I don't know. try to find a good person to answer that. There are a lot of misunderstood people out there driving others away from God cause they aren't educated.

Answer 7

Not just the Atheists. They think everyone who doesn't believe in their personal form of Christianity will go to hell.

Answer 8

No - in my religion Allah (swt) chooses who goes to paradise

in a saying of a prophet - on a road was an object and a man a non believer was walking and he thought to himself - the Muslims use this road iv better move it from the road it may harm them and then he did

And Allah (swt) said enter you paradise for Allah (swt) loves Muslims and those who praise him - and who ever helps a Muslim and those who praise him then Allah (swt) loves them for that reason

Answer 9

Only God is the Judge. Does not matter what some so called Christians think.

Answer 10

It is none of my business who is and isn't going to hell.

I can't think of many things that are LESS Christian than going around in one's infinite wisdom pronouncing some people going to hell and others going to heaven.
