but that STILL does not give us the right to say to other people... YOU are going to hell. isnt that against our whole religion? you are supposed to NOT judge people right? or is this one of those things that is... "outdated?"

well. by telling people about God, we dont have to say.. All atheists or whatever are doomed to hell.
Jesus is the one who judges. not us.

Allie,
YOU are absolutely correct in your thinking. I do not believe that GOD expects us to push people toward HIM or to put them down for not believing in HIM. HE told us to sow the seeds. HE did not say to "shove them down any throats". The disciples were told to shake the dust off of their feet when they were not accepted. Everyone is not ready and some will never be ready to accept HIM. That is not our problem. I hope that YOUR Christmas was as wonderful as ours was. Have a great week and a wonderful New Years!
Thank YOU,
Eds (A simple Christian)

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/GK2mD
Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

Yes! YES! YES! Thank you for saying that! Thank you so much! I have been trying to say that for a long time and you put it more clearly than I ever did.
It is nobody's business but GOD's, who's going to hell, heaven or Albuquerque. When we opine that so-and-so believers are going to hell we are breaking one of the most basic rules Jesus gave us: Judge not. Mat. 7:1
Not judging doesn't mean you can't express your opinion about people's actions. I can say that people like Pat Buchanan, Pat Roberts, Jerry Falwell, etc lead people away from God with their false gospels of hate and exclusion instead of Jesus's true gospel of all-inclusive love, but notice: I do not say they're going to hell for it. I'm saying that this is what I have observed in the world.
NOT judging people isn't one of those things that are "outdated." We're not supposed to do it, but some religions base their whole infrastructure on it.

Well the Bible does indicate that there are categories of people who do not inherit the kingdom of God. Would be good to inform them so perhaps they may think about getting out of that category. For example:
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1Cor 6:9,10
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." Gal 5:19-21
"the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars— their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death" Rev 21:8
Do you agree with these statements or do you feel we should tear them out of the bible?

If you wish to be more desirable for a lady you'll need this book https://tr.im/lwUCD , The Tao of Badass which will “convert you” in to a man who draws most of the women.
The Tao of Badass is a famous step-by-step process for picking up girls that's shown to work for anyone. Regardless old, appears or how new you're about women. The system teaches you just how to become ‘that person'who's needed by plenty of women.
The Tao of Badass it does allow you to ‘that person'by arming you with the knowledge of why you have to be like ‘that person'whilst giving you all of the pick up abilities you will need to become ‘that man'who women are attracted to.

No we are not to say that. It is up to God in the end times who goes to hell. The "not judging" is taken out of context by many, we are to lovingly admonish other believers when they get off track.

In my reading and study of the bible I have not seen it written that we are to tell others they are going to hell, nor have I seen it written that we are to hate people who sin, the nearest to that statement that I have seen is something like "hate the sin, love the person". Also I have found in my reading and study of the Christian bible that it is ok for us to inform people that the sins they may be committing may help to send them to hell if they do not ask for forgiveness and try to amend their ways.

Thank you ... so much ...
I do get weary of being judged by the unqualified.
Thankfully it's only a small fringe that thinks all Catholics are going to hell, but they're certainly vocal about it.
Blessings and all good to you.

You are totally right and I have said that numerous times in this forum. That is one of the biggest reasons we are judged badly here. When we say that we go against Christs teachings because none of us were given the right to judge another. We are to spread the word of Christ, but not to harass a person to death over it. They have to make their own decisions. All we can do is witness to the glory of God and welcome them if they choose Christianity.

Of course we as Christians aren't supposed to say to other people, "You're going to hell." Only God can say that. Our job is to tell them about Jesus, and back off, and let them find God when he is ready to reveal himself to that person. Otherwise we will only push nonbelievers away.
