Ok. so the only person who is supposed to be able to judge you is God himself/herself. So why on Earth do Christians think that they can so freely tell who is going to hell or not? And why do they think that their religion is the onliy right one, when there are so many different cultures and ethnicities in the world? All the rest can't be wrong, right?

And no, I'm not saying that all Christians do this. But there are a lot of bible thumpers out there that think that they have the right to condemn you to hell if you don't believe what they believe.

Not only Christians but people from all the religions judge and say things which they are not supposed to. Onlt pointing fingers at Christians wouldn't be quite right. All the other religions also have things which seem to have simply no truth in it. At times who doesn't judge? We all do mistakes and as we don't condemn ourselves we also shouldn't condemn others. I think we are approaching a time when all the false belifs and dogmas would would be proved wrong and there would only be truth everywhere. I can say that because everyone is questioning everything they see and when you question you are bound to get an answer. Nobody should judge anybody as that only God can do and this is a truth that every human being from every religion has to understand not only Christians.

Judge Yourself Bible

Some religions contradict others, therefore they could all be wrong, but they all can't be right.
Christianity is the only religion that tells us what God did to reach out to man through His Son (Jesus Christ).
All other religions are all about what we have to do to reach God.
The Bible says we all have sinned and fall short.
No one can judge except God. Any one who claims to be a Christian should seek to win others by love.
Sometimes that means speaking the truth about harmful lifestyles.

1 Cor.2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Cor.6: 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
Christians are instructed not to judge as in condemning or being hypocritical.
Judge not lest ye be judged.
We are not taught not to use judgment.

Because they're very clever.
They know what God thinks,
They know what God Loves,
They know who God hates,
and if you piss them off, they will excommunicate you and tell you that you're not allowed to talk to God.
They tell God how great he is, because of course he is insecure and needs to hear this from them. (It's not becasue they are sucking up in the hope of getting a better deal on the other side.. much).
You've got your head in the right place there, glad to see they didn't brainwash you.
It's all a bit silly isn't it.
Still, let them be delusional in their own sick way, and if there is such a thing as judgement, and if it's fair, I think they'll be getting a damned good spanking.
You can't change them, so ignore them :o)

Christians are in a state of fear. It is what they have been taught, so they act they way they do. To judge others you have to first judge yourself. Judging is what's in their heart. Remember, religion is for people who are trying to keep from going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

I can tell you that most Christians will never speak those words, even with great anger in them....but sadly I actually had my first experience, in the 18 years of my life, of a Christian telling me I'm going to Hell.
I thought it was a story non-believers made up to try to make Christians seem crude, because I had never seen it happen. But verily, I say unto you...Oregon Flower told me I am 'hell bound'.

It is the history of religion to fight and have strife against one another, what a better way to get someone upset than to tell them they are going to hell. My mother is a Christian and I am a Muslim, she tells me I am going to hell all of the time, I tell her that I love her and I wish her blessings. Being raised as a Christian myself, I think we should focus on how we treat one another right here on earth. That is how we will be judged in the end.

I believe and pray to God daily..I love him so much but my friend tells me because I don't go to church or read the bible that i'm not going to be going to Heaven. I have no problems going to church or reading the bible I just need to find the time to do it and stop making excuses. I get so MAD when she tells me this..

i am really not sure...that is a very good question.
---just to let you know, not all Christians have those fundamental beliefs.
Catholics are considered Christians, and one of the main principles of the Catholic church is that they are to accept all religious beliefs, as many of the moral principles are similar.
It is not our place as people to decide what happens in whatever we believe the after-life is. How can we?...we have no clue!
