If You Are Not Christian Why Would You Go To Hell?
I think that even if you are not christian,you will make it in heaven! How do we know if what the bible says is true? We don't really have a reliable source for that. And just because you are not a follower does not? mean you are not his children.If God truly created us equally, in some way, why would there need to be a reason for going to hell or to heaven? In god's eyes we are his children,and nothing can change that.You shouldn't always trust something you read. I mean how do we know that they are hiding the truth from us with this bible?? How do we know it's not all made up?

If what Christians believe is NOT real, then no one has anything to worry about. We'll just be bodies in the ground. However, if what Christains believe is true... If I believe is true, you have a lot to worry about.
We are posed with a choice. Believe in what Christ did for you, or don't. I just pose the question to you that if you died tonight, do you know where you'll be? The Bible is clear. There is only one way in to Heaven Through Jesus. And you are either for him or against him. There is no middle ground.
God loves us all, so he gave us a way to lay our sins down and follow him. How can you go to heaven if you aren't even following Christ?
The film Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe, has an excellent quote: "What we do in life echoes in eternity." Obviously you believe in heaven, so there's no need for me to tell you that without an afterlife there is no meaning of life.
Moving on, then. You say everyone goes to heaven because God regards us equally. Cool. Can't wait to see Ted Bundy in heaven. You see, if there is a God (as there must be, when we assume there is a heaven), He is a just God or He wouldn't be God at all. Nobody wants to believe in, let alone worship, an evil or partially unfair God. That being said, if God is just then God is JUDGE. We WILL stand before His throne at the end of our lives here. And we will spend eternity either burning in a pit of fire, filled with the gnashing of teeth, or we will enter the pearly gates and walk the gold road.
"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction and there are many that enter through it." (Matthew 7:13)
Petrichor1994: Yes, because in Genesis 1:1 it states that God created the heavens and the earth.
FroBro: The Bible has hate . . . God only hates the sin, but loves the sinner. He doesn't like the wrong doing, but He still loves us.
