Someone told someone else that a guy claiming to be the son of a
supernatural being said there is a hell. You believe someone(1) and
someone(2) and the "guy" based on piece of cloth dated to the Middle Ages.
Naïve - is the word that comes to mind.
I would advise you not to buy anything from door-to-door salesmen or the
internet before running it by a responsible adult.

I know this has been kicked around before, but I just wanted to gain a view of those here who think that people who are not a member of your faith go to an eternal hell.
to God except through Him. I'll let Jesus sort out who belongs to Him, I do
not know people's hearts well enough to tell the difference. I know it says
by people's lives *their fruit* we will know, from there I could guess, but it
would be a guess not knowledge on my part.

HELL ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST!
[b]If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. [b]
(Matthew 5:29-30 NKJV)
Matthew was a disciple and eye-witness who wrote down what he saw and heard.
I can give more, but I will let you counter that. Can you?

Originally posted by RJHindsI'm sure the Church of England made some statement that hell doesn't exist, despite what the Bible says. I don't believe in a biblical hell, people can make hell on earth, but not in the afterlife. It must stem from wanting justice, appropriate punishment for evil. I think the Hindus have the later concept.

Call this eccentric but I think if you tell a person they will go to hell or heaven you could seed the idea in their head for when they die ... imagine being told you'll burn in hell and can't get that idea out of your head when your dying. I think that's the closest, but hell on earth yes, war is hell, the worst of human nature is hell.

Originally posted by Rajk999so you can live righteously, humbly and be charitable, but if you haven't done "good works" you won't go to heaven?
Neither is God unjust that a man lives righteously, humbly and charitably and is not rewarded in the Kingdom to come.
Judgment day as described in Matt 25 applies to all of humanity of all ages and all religions. Those who have done good works are rewarded with eternal life in the Kingdom to come. Those who have done evil will be destroyed in the lake of fire.
what are good works?
