Not necessarily.

Interestingly, however, it is not merely the "bad" who disqualify themselves from salvation. Bible readers have long noted that it was not merely the wicked who were destroyed in the Flood of Noah's day, but everyone who failed to heed Noah's preaching. Ignoring Noah's message did not prove them to be "bad", but it did prove them to be "ungodly" and unworthy of salvation.
...(2 Peter 2:5) Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when [God] brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people

Of course, it was Jesus himself who compared Armageddon to that Great Deluge.
...(Matthew 24:3-8, 36-39) The disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” And in answer Jesus said to them: “... For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Incidentally, "Jehovah" is the personal name of God (the Father) in the English language.

Please don't believe in a Jew named Jesus. He never existed, and he is certainly not the real Messiah. Where do you see world peace, no more illness, all the Jews ingathered to Israel, the Temple rebuilt, Universal Knowledge of God so that no man ever needs to teach another, etc. etc. etc. ??

The Christians will say that Jesus will do this in the "Second Coming". There is no such thing. There has never been any such thing in Judaism. It's not biblical, it's not scriptural,. the Church made it up.

Jesus's so called miracles, weren't. The Egyptians and several jewish sages long before Jesus did things like raise the dead. In the End of Days, the anti-messiah will do many "miracles" that will cause the non-Jews to believe he is the real Messiah, just like they were fooled by Jesus. But the Jews, who have been trained by God to look ONLY at whether he fulfills all these promises, will not be fooled.

As for "Jehovah", there is no God named that. This is a Christian misinterpretation of the name YHVH, and it was not pronounced like that.

Cris Angel the magician, for instance, can show people all the "miracles" that he can do, and say "I'm the Messiah, but I won't fulfill the actual prophecies until I come back again."

This is exactly like what Jesus did. Sorry, no dice. The real Messiah fulfills ALL, every single one of the prophecies DURING HIS LIFETIME, as God said on Mt. Sinai, or he wasn't the Messiah. period.

No, and anyone who says you are is pretty single-minded. You are a bad person if you hurt other people, not if you don't believe in the teachings of Jesus. However much they try, no one has ever been able to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the Bible is the word of God.
Most religions follow the same cardinal rule, anyway: treat others as you would like to be treated. If you follow that rule, or at least try to, in my mind you're a good person. You'll get a lot of fundamentalists saying your belief system is wrong, or that you're on the path of evil, or some other nonsense, but who are they to say that? The only one who can decide what's right for you is yourself.

No. You're not bad for not believing. You've always been bad because everyone is bad. We are bad because mankind turned away from that being you don't believe in (Jehovah) and you're still bad because you won't accept the gift that Jesus wants to give you. The difference is that those of us who DO believe are washed by the blood of the lamb and are seen as good by the persons you don't believe in.

unless you are intentionally malicious, you are not bad. good and evil are illusions; there are no absolutes.

but there have been many jews named jesus, so it's okay to believe in them. there is no evidence of a specific jew named jesus who lived 2000 years ago, so you don't have to believe in that one if you don't want to.

It depends what you believe about him. Most of what is said about him in the Bible is barely accurate, and much of it is skewed by the ramblings of Paul who never met Jesus except in his imagination, and still accounts for 13 books of the new testament.

Jehovah is The Almighty

Jesus is his son

Whether you believe or not God rules with the help of his son....and they hold your future in their hands.

He's the One you should believe in as He's the one that
is the Creator of humans and all that is in the Earth. He's
the only one who died for us, but rose from the dead, and
ascended into heaven. Heaven should be our goal. But, we
have freedom of religion in the U.S., so you're free to
believe or not believe.

p.s. (i before e except after c.....as in believing).

You are bad, but not necessarliy because you don't believe in Jesus. We're all "bad". That's the whole point of Christianity (and really most religions). We have all made mistakes, we have all done wrong, but through Jesus we find forgiveness and grace. Are you bad? Yes. Am I bad, yes. But hopefully we will both be forgiven.

God's name is Jehovah and he is Almighty. Jesus is his only-begotten son.
