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?

Believing in the bible is like believing in history: believing in primary and secondary source accounts on times wen no one could record things. if u bellieve in history tharez no excuse to not believe the bible. just cuz it says things you dont wanna hear or that you dont agree with doesnt make it a joke or untrue.
Believing in anything takes faith. its just ware u place that faith that determines wut u do or dont believe. humans have freewill, so u are able to believe in wutwver you want.
If u read the bible, youd know that god created us all equal, meaning no one is greater than another, however we all hav higher callings. some embrace them and use them to show who christ is to the world, and others choose to deny it and do wut they want. we were created equal to lift eachother up and come together for one cause, but that cause has been lost.
also, thares no possible way you could believe in god w/o believing in the bible since all we know about him comes from it. the fact that we are all created equally comes from the bible, so your point cancels itself out.
i understand what your trying to say. but realize that we hav to look deeper into things before making flash desisions or ideas, think deep. God bless.
Yes, God all created us equally, however He also gave us a choice. The choice to Love and live for Him, or to disobey Him. Those who follow Him will make it into heaven. However, if one chooses not to, they have to be punished into hell.
You should take the time to read my article 'standing out what makes me different' and give me your thoughts. thank you.

You know something? How about you suggest that to God? I don't think He'll quite agree with that, but... Anyways, in order to get to Heaven here's all you need to do: believe (TRUELY believe with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength) that Jesus is God's son and that Jesus was raised from the dead on the 3rd day and that He died for all of our sins to be forgiven. If you believe that, then don't worry about going to hell!
Also, the Bible has been proven scientifically, historically, and many other ways to be true.
Hopefully I can answer some of your questions..
The whole 'heaven/hell idea' as you call it must exist if God does. Otherwise there would be absolutely be no point in his existence. The whole reason Jesus came was to save us from eternal damnation in hell. Thus, if God exists, Heaven and Hell do as well. As far as the 'system' is concerned, God made it easy! And the argument isn't wether you're a good or bad person, its wether you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior that determines where your eternity will be spent. Make sense?
The Bible says that it is spiritually understood and unless you are Born Again you cannot understand the Bible, just like the other languages you are learning, unless your eyes have been opened to the lanuage you cannot comprehend. Its the same with the Word of God, you have to be Spiritually born again to understand the Bible. It is wriiten to and for Believers. Ask Jesus to forgive your sind and tell Him you believe in His Death and Ressurection for your sins. He died in place of us all. For all our sins, why would we reject Him? Only out of pride. Which will lead us to separation from God. Humble yourself and ask Him to be Lord of yopur life. The end of a prideful life is death, humility leads to life and peace.
