Is this man a sinner? Will he go to hell?

That depends on the definition of sin and if it really exists.  It also depends on the definition of hell and if hell really exists.\n\nIf you wish to go to a place called Hell, there is a little town called Hell, Michigan.  You may go there in the winter one day when it has frozen over as a joke as I have done.  It was a bit more convenient for me, however, as I was taking a cousin to the Detroit airport and we had some spare time that winter to goof off.

Unless a man has God in His heart, there is no good in him.\n\n\nThis I believe http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Dear Bill, I would Like to explain why a person goes to hell and Howwe can escape the consequences of hell. I would like to ask you a few questions.............\n\nHave you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. \nHe sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. \nYour own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could.  Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, and if you will repent (turn from sin) and place your faith and trust in jesus, God will forgive you of your sins and grant you eternal life. A person dosent go to Hell because they are foolish, but raher because they have trasgressed the Law. Please, turn from sin and trust in the savior today.\nGod Bless\nWDJD

No he doesn't accept gay people or sinners. He wants us to live like we are in his image. Although we know we are human and will make mistakes he does want us to repent..............

Your thoughts are foolish if you say hell consists of all the "fun" people.  Even if this were true, it certainly wont be a party, but a place of doom and sorrow and torment.  Not to be taken lightly my friend.\n\nIT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE - YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN IF YOU ASK THE LORD WITH GENUINE SINCERITY, TO FORGIVE YOU.\n\nAnd you too can go to heaven one day - the ONLY unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and even then, it does not mean you will go to hell.\n\nMy friend, you can get on your knees before God and ask Him, in Jesus' name, to forgive you for all your sins.  You can tell Him you acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life, and ask Him to come into your heart and change you.\n\nThe only time its too late to do this is when your body is dead and your spirit has already been allocated to eternal damnation.\n\nJesus loves you and waits for you.\n\nIf you need help, please contact me at ccc4jesus@yahoo.com.\n\nBe blessed.

I do not say that you are going to hell. I believe that the Bible is true. The Bible is very clear about this subject. Jesus is the way and the life and the truth, no one will go to the Father's house except through Him.\n\nIf you do not believe in hell and heaven, do not worry what people say. You are a very good person. If you want to find God, you will find Him. I am not worried about that. If I make it to heaven, I will give all the credit to Jesus...because I would not make it without Him.\n\nChristianity is a relationship with God. He has mercy on us if we ask it.

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.

I do not think so..I believe that there is no sin in this world that cannot be forgiven..as long as you believe in yourself that you are repenting for those sins..and even so..The big man above is really forgiving and he loves us all no matter what..

if you have been saved(accepted Jesus as your Savior) you will go to heaven..but if you haven't you will go to hell ..but not yet because nobody goes anyway until the day of judgment! it is in Revelations if you want to check!

No, I don't.\n\nI am not God, the searcher of human hearts and the ultimate judge of all people. So I refrain from even pretending to know where anyone--including myself--will spend eternity. I am familiar with God's main requirement for entry into heaven--but it is in the other points of Christian theology that I am uncertain...and rightfully so.\n\nIf other Christians are saying literally, "You are [or someone else is] going to Hell," they are self-righteous and prideful, and God will bring them to account as well. How, only he knows--but rest assured that such an offense, the one of imagining oneself sitting on God's throne, will not be overlooked by the almighty.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

I DON'T THINK THEY CONDEMN PEOPLE TO HELL THEY'RE JUST TELLING PEOPLE THAT IF YOU SIN GOD WILL CONDEMN YOU TO HELL.\n\nTRUST ME.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY IS GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME IN HELL.

Somehow you've got to find the motivation for this.  Is he in desperate straits and really needs money to stay off the street?  In that case he needs to be punished and set straight by the entire family, and hopefully some people will care for him enough to help him find a cheaper apartment or give him a temporary job or something.  Maybe demanding some restitution once he gets on his feet financially would send the right signal of hating the sin and loving the sinner.\n\nSince it's been going on for so long, I have a hunch he's a kleptomaniac.  I don't know much about this condition--maybe it's a way to express anger, or maybe this is a sick bid for attention.  If it is a serious compulsion I doubt it can be cured by scolding or ostracizing.  Maybe this will be a hitting bottom experience that will drive him to get treatment.\n\nGood luck,\nHouyhnhnm

Hello, \n\nGod is very loving, why would God who is loving and forgiving send us to burn in hell? That goes against everything God stands for, doesn't it? But when we sin he wants to forgive us, in fact 2 Peter 3:8, 9 says, "However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." (I welcome you all to look this up in your own personal copy of the Bible) \n\nSo you see, not only does He want us to repent, He is also patent with us. How loving! Don't you think? It goes with His personality in fact we have the scripture at 1 John 4:16 that say "God is Love" which is very straight forward. So again, this would go against God’s personality. But back to your original question on Hell, do you know that after you die you are conscious of NOTHING of at all. Ecclesiastes 9:5 tells us that "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." So if all bad people were going to be burning in hell, this would go against what the Bible says, and we know God can not lie. Titus 1:2 says "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began." Then we have the scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16 that says all scriptures is inspired by God.\n\n\nPsalms 146:4 "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thought do perish." So again, here we see that our thoughts are gone. If we were going to burn in hell, don't you think it would make sense that we would be aware of it. \n\n\nEzekiel 18:4 "The soul that is sinning it itself will die." Notice that it doesn't say that it will burn in hell, just that it will die. And as we learned above in Ecclesiastes 9:5 the dead are aware of NOTHING. \n\n\nHell is nothing more than the common grave of mankind. Webster’s Dictionary says that the English word "hell" is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades. In German Bibles Hoelle is the word used instead of "hell"; in Portuguese the word used is inferno, in Spanish infierno, and in French Enfer. The English translators of the Authorized Version, or King James Version, translated Sheol 31 times as "hell," 31 times as "grave," and 3 times as "pit." The Catholic Douay Version translated Sheol 64 times as "hell." In the Christian Greek Scriptures (commonly called the "New Testament"), the King James Version translated Hades as "hell" each of the 10 times it occurs.—Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14.\n\n\nThe question is: What kind of place is Sheol, or Hades? The fact that the King James Version translates the one Hebrew word Sheol three different ways shows that hell, grave and pit mean one and the same thing. And if hell means the common grave of mankind, it could not at the same time mean a place of fiery torture. Well, then, do Sheol and Hades mean the grave, or do they mean a place of torture?\n\nBefore answering this question, let us make clear that the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades mean the same thing. This is shown by looking at Psalm 16:10 in the Hebrew Scriptures and Acts 2:31 in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Notice that in quoting from Psalm 16:10 where Sheol occurs, Acts 2:31 uses Hades. Notice, too, that Jesus Christ was in Hades, or hell. Are we to believe that God tormented Christ in a fiery hell? Of course not! Jesus was simply in his grave.\n\nWhen Jacob was mourning for his beloved son Joseph, who he thought had been killed, he said: "I shall go down mourning to my son into Sheo

How in the World are you asking that question of "moral man"?  \n\nGOD has a plan, and JESUS CHRIST is part of the plan...\n\nGOD knew that we would screw up, and that HE set up HIS SON, so that we might have Salvation after all our sins were forgiven.  We are a sinful race by nature, as we were given free will, and we dont do very well, with it at the moment, do we?\n\nBelieve in HIS SON, that HE died for our Sins, and you too, can be forgiven of them...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Don't believe it.  Repentance is key in this.  Sin will not exist in the presence of Heavenly Father.

Well in his eyes; yes. Unless he did something out of ignorance and deserved it. My Pastor said a story about a man who wasn't wise. This man just went up to people and told them to their face "you're a sinner." This man thought he was doing God's work by letting the people know what they are, but in reality he wasn't. One day he said this to a man and that man hit the "holy man" in the face and he thought to himself "I am being persecuted for doing Gods work" then he told my pastor and my pastor told him, "it wasn't persecution, it was ignorance that got you hit in the face because we're supposed to show mercy to others." Sometimes it's not persecution, but ignorance, just like sometimes it's not the devil that looks for us, but us to him and that is what I call ignorance. Either way, in his head he might think that he is being persecuted, but if he gets hit for being ignorant... his ignorance was the cause of it.
