Marieelisa,
Jesus only sends people to Hell that choose to reject Him as their Savior.

How can you reject something that doesn't exist?

You don't know that for sure, do you?  You have said before that it would be better to accept God and have your eternity secure than to not accept Him and not have your eternity secure.  You even suggested it for others to think about.

I know God very very well...he is so loving that it would be out of his ability to send any one to Hell...think about that for awhile

You are exactly right - He would not send anyone to hell that accept Him as Christ in their hearts.

The God I speak of is not the God you speak of.

Then I choose my God.  You (in a previous post) are simply looking for a god that will be what you want him to be - that is not reality.

if there was a GOD he wouldn't  have made criminals so until anyone can answer that i don't believe

I don't like it either, but I'm sorry you don't believe.  People who commit crimes are making their own choices when they do that.  If God had made everyone loving and perfect, then nothing would happen ever, anywhere.  So we that believe, and others that don't believe, must work together to try and keep things as safe and secure as we can only do or know how to do, starting with ourselves and our family and our friends.  Then, the higher up people need to do the same and punish those who have done the crime.

I can see so many reasons to believe, and I can see many to not believe.  I can understand the disgust with criminals, but I can't see that if it is your only reason to not believe.

I understand it just well! This God deserves no respect if he created people only to send them to hell. My step dad is an atheist and a very good person, better than a lot of religious people, and he will go to hell?!? That is a bunch of 

You go girl!     This is me acknowledging you talking sense.

The concept of hell is a very good example of showing how the Christian/Muslim god doesn't exist.

I also found it funny that you used the word "affect" correctly and Annella didn't.   

Congratulations qon on your new convert.  Maybe she can be your poster child for atheism?  
What a coup!

FOR YOUR INFORMATION THE ONLY REASON I EVER BELIEVED IN GOD IS OUT OF FEAR OF GOING TO HELL...UNTIL I REALIZED AN ALL LOVING GOD WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

Whatever

I'm not sure if there is such thing as help, but if there is, there are so many ppl that I know that may end up there if they do not change their ways.

You know what I think, you people should be shot stopped from telling people they will burn in hell for eternity...it is an insult to our intelligence because we can't tell if God is there or not. I bet you if there is a God, he isn't a personal savior type.

I think no one should be worried out these anyway as long as ur conscience sets u free.

Marie...have you read The Giver by Lois Lowry or The Wave?  They offer some really good thinking points.

[shernajwine]

Amy, she has asked 3 or 4 times, that I have read, "Why did God create the devil if He knew what he would end up doing"...I posted my link twice and addressed her directly to check it out. After I did this, she asked that question again. I don't think she bothers to check out anyone's references or she wouldn't keep asking the same questions.

Anyone responding to her is wasting their time

How does one know what a prophet is supposed to do if he or she is unlearned?- all of us are prophets- the difference is that when you give your life to God you are a "Spiritual prophet who hears from God- if you are not a Christian ,then you are just someone who tells the future by natural means based on certain factors just like the Christians. I am trying to get away from "religion" too- it is man made, full of rules, and does nothing for us, other than to divide us- let's all get away from religion and embrace true freedom in Jesus Christ. Once again, I say, stop saying that God sends anyone to hell- he does not- he gives all of us a chance to accept his son Jesus, as Lord and saviour- if they do not, then it is their choice- and the penalty is hell. God created the earth, he created man, and he has the authotrity to do what he wants- he makes the rules- whether you ever accept it or not. There is nothing wrong with being a good person, but realize that we can never be good enough  to earn our way to heaven, and we can never be good enough to say that we are ok the way we are without God. I have said in the past that it is pretty funny that people will accept that there is a heaven, but have trouble accepting that there is a hell- they just will cop out and say, if there is a hell, then I just won't believe in God, or they will reject the gospel message- I always thoght that was hypocritical- what do you say?.

[queenofnines]

If God had made everyone loving and perfect, then nothing would happen ever, anywhere.

Hmm, I think you're going to have a problem in "heaven" then!!!

I am searching for the real God...whoever that may be! I want to be sure I know the real God, be it zeus, Allah, Jehova, Jah or just me. Now you are gonna tell me about reality?!? Ha, Hey GOD where are you? I don't see you! I have to believe in something that someone else said because I can cope now with the thought of going to hell. Geez...God isn't reality, that is why we have to believe.


Now you are going to tell me my God isn't real...wow, 

Please stop putting words in my mouth.  You can search all the gods you want - I was responding in like kind to what you were implying.  I hope that you will be able to peruse through all the different choices and find the one that gives you contentment and peace.
