What lands us in Hell?

[DASULAR17]

I believe at least two things can land you in hell although I rather leave the final decision to the eventual one on one with God at judgement.

Not beleiving in Jesus Christ (often confused with not accepting Christ as personal savior (not scriptural
although natually undesireable)
Blaspheming the Holy Spirit (apparently the only "unforgiveable sin") It needs clarification as it involves
satanic ties)

Let me start the discussion with a short list. Christians; I implore you to comment here, since, if we heathen atheists can perhaps realize and atone, why, we may get to meet with you over coffee up in Heaven (tho' it would likely have to be decaf and sans a morning "Bourbon lift" if the Mormon constituent has any say, huh?):

Lets see:

1. Purposefully lying to deceive and mislead your fellow man;

2. Misrepresent yourself for personal gain;

3. Various forms of coveting things like your neighbor's wife, his or her "Beemer", bigger house, new LED wide-screen TV set, etc.

4. Misrepresenting others' viewpoints to, again, advance your own cause;

5. Purposefully mean acts designed to embarrass or disadvantage others while you gloat over your accomplishments;

6. Of course, murdering, injuring or placing others in direct danger. That would include, one assumes, putting them in dire psychological danger.

7. Lying to children.

8. Drinking coffee or Cokeâ„¢, and a double-fast ride to the inner ring if you add in that little whiskey spice-up....

9. Not attending official religious chant-ins (like church, or carrying vicious signs for the Westboro Church, etc....)

Any others? I'm sure I've missed a few. Still, I'm sure any one, or certainly a few of these, should land you a first-class ride into Hades inner circles, right?

Lemmee know, please!

Hell is the condition of the soul without love. When there is no love, there is darkness (hell). The more love, the more light and closer to heaven.

I can tell you right now on earth, there aren't any people now living who are going to go straight into heaven. (Just my opinion from what I have read and understood from the beings who already reside in Paradise or the Celestial Heavens)

So don't worry. Just be love to one another and you'll do fine. Beliefs are of the mind, love is of the soul so it really doesn't matter what one believes right now, what matters is that you love.

No, I chose to believe in Jesus' redemptive work on the cross. That makes me a Christian.

Yes you are a Christian and that was your choice, like I am Jewish and that is my choice.


What I said is pretty clear........

So YOU are judging people, by your own admission.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye"(Mat. 7:1-5).
