Will God send people to HELL based on their acceptance or rejection of Christ?
363553
Jesus Christ said that He is the Truth, the Way, and the Life and only through Him will we see the Father.  There is no sin that Jesus will not forgive except not accepting Him as our Lord and Savior.  \n\nHomosexuals, and adulterers, and drunkards must turn from the world, and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and they will be Saved.  Otherwise they are condemning themselves to hell.  \n\nGod will judge the unsaved one day and by their actions while here on this sinful earth they will get their just reward.  If they haven't accepted Jesus as their Savior that is the only unforgivable sin.  \n\nGod will also judge the saved on that day, not for their sins because their sins will have been forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ.  The saved will be judged for their rewards they laid up in heaven while on this earth.  He will judge the saved only for what they did for Him during their earthly lives.

No, this is not true.  What about Christ or mother Theresa, do you think they are in hell?  What about Saint John the babtist? Or the apostles?  Whoever told you this was wrong.  You go to hell by your own choices.

The only thing that can keep us out of heaven is to reject Christ. Pride may well be the sin most committed on the way though.

Well technically YES, because fire and brimstone hell as has been preached in the past is false doctrine. The bible says that when people die, the are concious of nothing and feel nothing (pain, joy, sorrow. etc. ...) So 'hell' as referred to in the bible is simply the grave. So yes those people did go to 'hell', but they are not burning eternally!

Links posted by sinthya gives quotes from Quran regarding hell punishment for those who delibrately disbelieve God. Yes, Quran has warned about severe punishment in hereafter life for rejecting God. What that has to do with violence ? A person who believe in Hell punishement will be more tolerent and just because he knows will be accounted for every deed he do in this life. \n\nSee this answer also\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012302108

Yes. There is a literally burning hell. It was prepared for the devil and his angels. Anyone that has never been saved that has rejected Jesus as their savior, will go to hell.You must believed that jesus died for you and was burried, and rose again on the third day. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and come into your heart and save your soul. It is by grace thru faith, that you are saved. By doing this, You then have a home awaiting in heaven for you.

Interesting question. A lot of people say that in order to avoid hell, you must accept (insert religion) as the truth. To them, I say, if God can't understand why I have my doubts about (insert religion), he's as stupid as...well, you. (You, meaning them, not you.)

Well the Bible says that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you accept Him as your Savior then you will be saved. I think anyone who does this will go to heaven. Some people only pull out homosexuality as the only thing in the Bible listed as an abomination and that's simply not true. Liars, gossipers, drunks, and adulterers just to name a few were also listed as abominations and no one just out right says they will go to hell so I don't think it's fair to say that someone will go to hell based on their sexual preference. Plus all sins are forgivable if you repent of them and ask God to help you I don't see why he would punish you instead of helping you. We don't know where their heart is with God so we can't knowingly say where they are going when they die.

A well formulated question!  What a nice change of pace around here.  \n\nAssuming Heaven/Hell, God/Satan, you'd think Satan would be a bit more picky than just accepting all of God's rejects.  If he does accept all of God's rejects that would make him sound less judgmental and more open to all kinds of people.  \n\nBut I'm with you...if God is as compassionate as he is made out to be I find it hard to believe that he couldn't see that 99.9% of us are just trying to get thru the day the best way we know how and not trying to perpetuate evil.  Knowing the tortures that hell supposedly contains I find it hard to believe that God could send anyone there.\n\nBut I'm not a big believer in Hell anyway.\n\nThese are the philosophical questions that have kept discussions going since day one.

All those cults you are talking about, have deliberately turned their backs on God, and do not believe in him or his word. Therefore, yes, if they do not believe that Jesus died to save them from their sins, they will go to hell.  Don't deceive yourself - "no man can have two masters" You can only serve God, or someone (thing) else. So make a choice.

As a minister I can assure you just because you are gay this not what will keep you out of heaven. No where in the bible does it ever imply that because you are gay you are a sinner. Now however it does teach that if you practice sin ,that is what will send you to hell. It is the practice of homosexuality that is sinful. the same applys to a whole lot of straight folks to. Adultry ,fornication ,lying etc.\n  Read and study these verses : You will find it is Sin  against Gods will that sends folks to hell and sin applys to all people . \n  NIV 1 Timothy 1:9-10\n9  We also know that law  is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, \n10  for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine \n\n\nNIV 1 Timothy 4:1-3\n1  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. \n2  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. \n3  They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. \n\n\nNIV Revelation 21:7-8\n7  He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. \n8  But 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." \n\n\nNIV Romans 1:21-32\n21  For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. \n22  Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools \n23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. \n24  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. \n25  They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. \n26  Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. \n27  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. \n28  Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. \n29  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, \n30  slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; \n31  they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. \n32  Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. \n\n\nNIV Romans 13:13  Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:9  I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 6:9-11\n9  Do you not know that the wicked w

I am most sad about the fact that so many people reject salvation through Jesus Christ and will spend all of eternity suffering in hell.  And I am also saddened when I fail to do my best to evangelize so that more people can be saved.

I haven't told you your soul will burn, so respectfully, if your should go  to heaven the Bible says there is no pain or tears. However, in hell, there will be gnashing, and an eternal flame and those present will wish they could die but can't and whoever goes there will feel it.

Dear Snakestersnake,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe answer is no. A person who is raped will not go to hell for having had sex before they are married.\n\nA person's salvation depends on whether they have truly committed their life to Jesus Christ or not.\n\nA person who rejects Jesus Christ (and the gospel) will end up spending eternity away from God. That has nothing to do with whether they were raped or not.\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

Yep, its true! All who do not believe in Jesus Christ and dont accept him as your savior will be casted into hell.\nJohn 3:\n[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\n[17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\n[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

No Christians Don't think they're going to hell. On the contrary, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was jewish. (His mother Mary was a jew).  The jews are the chosen people of God and still are to this day.  God has blinded them to the truth of who Jesus is for now until all of us non-jews are saved.  The truth is our Christian heritage stems from the jews and if we bless the jews, God will bless us.

Not yet, but soon as someone sends him to hell he will be.
