Think about it.
It just doesn't make any sense. Why would something you did or said, within the of time 60 seconds really choose your fate for ETERNITY?
1) People can change their minds, alive or after they died.
2) God has the power to save anyone who is currently in Hell if he REALLY wanted to. If someone there is now trying to accept him and he loved them, why wouldn't God change his mind and save them afterall?
3) It's completely illogical and unproportional as far as time is concerned. Why would something you said or did within one minute determined your future for the next 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years?
4) They say that if you're in Heaven, you're there for eternity. However, do you remember hearing about Lucifer changing his mind and rebelling with 1/3 of the angels and they got cast out?
5) "23 minutes in Hell" by Bill Wiese. He got saved.
6) There must be more to it than what people think they know from readinf the Bible. There HAS TO be.

1) If you accept the Bible as the Word of God, then do what it says and stop trying to add your own chapter.
2) The Bible says the wages of sin is death. So this is for people who are LIVING. You have a lifetime to make your bed.
3) Read Revelations. At judgment you will die, not live eternally in hell. If God says the penalty is death then you die and that is it. To LIVE eternally in hell means you get eternal life. Not!
4) To repent and change your ways is the instruction given in the Bible. That means a true change of heart. Remember the thief on the cross next to Jesus? He made it to life eternal because he believed.
5)None of this makes sense to you because you will not except the simple truth that God loves you and you should love ever body as he loves you. If you do, then you won't have "hell-sent" ways and doubt His Word. If you poo-poo the Bible, then why do you care about anything it says? Either you believe or you don't and the beauty of it is that it is your choice!
Make the decision, cross over and receive the Holy Spirit who will bring understanding to your bible study.

1-What do you mean by 60 seconds' choice , God gives us a whole life full of free willed choices
2- He has plans to save us from eternal hell just if we trusted him and followed his way
3- Lucifer didn't just change his mind at a minute he has a long life before that , where he could decide what's best for him

It is a nice thought and perhaps if it was my decision that might be the way I would do it to. But, all we know about heaven or hell is in the Bible, and the Bible says that it will be for eternity. It is not us you have to convince, it is God.

How can you change your mind after you die? Do you really think people who died are still in the grave because they want to be? Do you think Moses and King Tut still want to be dead? They had a lot going for them when they were here. I would think they would still want to call some of those shots now just like then. You've got to be realistic now. You and I don't have the priveledge of changing our minds after we die. This is why it is so important that we get it right while we are alive.
I want to get it right while I live because I don't to take that chance after I die.

The lake of fire (hell) is eternal and there is no way out. You may not like that, but it is so. It is easy to not have to go there, all you have to do is believe that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again.

God is a God of mercy. Eternal hell does not sound like the God I believe in. I believe there will be punishment but not for eternity.

hell is what the christians are making life on earth.... but each of us only have one life... and if we don't keep challenging these christians eternal hell is what the future will get... at some point and time people will have to start noticing this and the time is now... are we going to condemn the future people of this planet to live in hell or are we going to finally put the crazy religious people in their place and stop them from influencing the outcome of our societies... stop them from interfering in our laws.. in our development... in our evolution as humans...

I agree with that. It is too easy to escape the lake of fire. You just have to believe in the Lord Jesus. If you do that you are out of that list. But do not tell me that people can do whatever they want to do these days expect that the Lord is going to tell them to come to be with Him for eternity, not. There are just two ways to go on in this life. Either you follow Satan and go with him to the lake of fire for eternity or you follow Jesus love Him and be for Him, and you can be with Him for eternity and He can be in you for eternity. NOT in heavens.

In this life is your only hope to accept God. Not after you die, the bible says as a Tree(person) falls so shall it be, If that person dies a sinner then after death he will be in hell. Because that is the way he died.
