If someone told a small lie and died 2 minutes later they'd go to hell according to most Christians. I mean if that lie wasn't wiped away by asking for forgivness then that soul can't be god's presence!

oh, that geezus guy, he's a fuss. Remember, coming to town he wanted that fruit off that tree and the tree didn't have any so he cussed the tree so the tree died? That's the same fella who told you to turn the other cheek. Go figure those saints and such.

Nope. God doesn't sin. Yes, he knew you would, but he does not cause you to sin.

You don't have to ask forgiveness for every single sin you do...but a 1 time repentance and trusting in Christ will do it. Mind you, true repentance is not just saying a quick magical "sinner's prayer" and then boom, you're done. True repentance is turning from your lifestyle of sin and turning to a lifestyle of obedience to Christ.

Yes He knew we would sin, and because He loves us so much He sent Jesus to die for those sins, He could have just said oh well, but He didn't, He provided a way for us to live with Him for eternity, but the choice is ours. And I agree with what kdbrich said in their post.

According to many Christians on this forum and in real life, I am going to hell.

It is funny actually.

I have never raped anyone, hurt anyone, had an abortion. I believe in Christ was well as the Buddha and more. Then Christians tell me I am going to hell because I believe in OTHER religions too.

I guess love and tolerance is enough to make me go to hell

I am bad. Real bad.

Well, I'm Christian and I believe if something happened to me like an accident or any other unfortunate occurence and I die, I'll go to hell. The biblical word translated hell only means the common grave of mankind. Even Jesus died and went there.

So don't sweat it!!! (pun intended)
