The bible suggests not. I believe the verse says, "I, the Lord your God am a petty and jealous God."

No,even though that's what some are deceived into believeing.
God is loving and His grace & Mercies are re-newed everyday,but He's still a God of judgement too.
He's given each one of us Free will to serve Him or satan. It's a choice that we have complete control over.
He will honor the free will He's given you and escort you to the gates of hell,all the while loving you the whole way there. It's not His will that any should perish,but that all would come to salvation.
An earthly judge Is the same way.
How would you feel If someone murdered one of your loved ones,do you think the judge would accept you and the choice you made and let you go free without consequences ?
No. He has standards & guide lines to go by. Just like God is a pure & Holy God and He has standards as well,they're in His word...

No tho that sounds good on paper, huh?
When takes His ppl to heaven to live forever, how could God possible let those that dont accept Him or His will or ways, to be in Heaven? Think about it this way.
I am Christian, I belive and I obey GOd becasuse I love Him. I have no violence in my life , nor any of the other things associated with being away from God and His perfect will. So I go to heaven, and there are murders in heaven, and liars and cheats and gossipers. etc etc etc. how long would it be heaven for me and others who want no part of that type of lifestyle. ???? It would ruin Heaven for us, and God promises us that Heaven will be perfect. So it is for those who want to be with Him and have that kind of life. IF you dont want God or that kind of life, free of sin, you wouldnt even enjoy heaven, at all, and those of God wouldnt enjoy a non believer there, I assure you. IT would be likeit is here on earth now with those two kinds of ppl. God says tehre are only two kinds of ppl, Those that belive and those that done.
He doesnt care what color we are, or any of that nonsnse.
But, He want our full heart and to love HIm enough to obey Him and enjoy living as Jesus lived, in perfect obedience to the will of God. Joy and pease are there, and we chhose that,. So if you dont choose for Jesus, which is so sad, and we do pray you change your mind, we wouldnt want you there in heaven if you dont believe, nor would you even want to be there. But, I assure you, noone will enjoy hell either. But chosing for Jesus is a choice, and if you dont choose for Him, you chose the other alternative. Not becuase God loves you any less, but He must do what He must do to protect His ppl. Being HIS is a choice, so you cant blame God or any believers when you wont make that choice.
But, God is eager to forgive. HE is a God of Love. REpent, and ask God to show you how real HE is and He will. Read from the Bible every day and speak out those promises of Gods to us there, claim them as yours and watch what happens. Overnight, the plan of God not only becomes so real to you, you reach understanding in a way you just could never have imagined.
I will pray that for you today. Happy Thanksgiving
Be thankful that you still have a chance to choose for Jesus, before He comes again. amen

Of course He is alright with your choice. You choose not to be in Heaven.
After all, HE will be in Heaven. If you do not choose Him, you won't be there. Why would you want to be....if He is not your choice?
Have a very happy day!

John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

God is loving yes - but He is also described much more frequently as "holy" and "just" - once you understand that, you may decide to reconsider your choice.

He will accept your unconditionally. However, it doesn't mean he has to like it.

It is your choice, and He will send you to Hell if you want, but it will still make Him unhappy to do it.
