Re: "But I'm Too NICE To Go To Hell!" -

Bless you all for keeping this thread at the top of the list of topics. Because it's vitally important! A lot of people think that just because they're "nice" or have "good intentions" or try not to break God's rules, that they're going to heaven. How wrong they are, and people need to know that only by accepting Jesus as your personal savior, following God's law, and tithing generously to Landover Baptist Church can one go to heaven.
A case in point is my old neighbor. Lovely, charming Mrs. Anderson was a frail, pleasant, white-haired widow, a former elementary school teacher with the kindest heart one could imagine. She baked cookies for the children on their way home from school, and asked them what they learned that day. She volunteered at the community center to teach adults better reading skills, and worked as a volunteer librarian twice a month in the town's bookmobile. Even though she stood only about 5 feet tall and weighed about 80 pounds, she was full of energy and joy-- always smiling and especially good with children. I can still hear her warm and pleasant voice greeting the children saying hello to the mailman.
But in 1976 she voted for Jimmy Carter. And she rarely attended any church, let alone Landover Baptist. So when she died of resperatory inflammation at the age of 91 a few years ago, the mental image of Mrs. Anderson being continuously and forcefully gang-raped from behind by Satan and a tag-team of foul demons in hell has haunted me ever since.

That is YOUR belief, there are millions of different beliefs in this world. Every person with a different belief, believes as faithfully in their belief as you beleive in yours. They believe, hard as iron, that they know the true God and what God expects of them. They believe hard as anything worldly that THEY possess the true knowledge of God and which religion is the true religion. Many are born in this religion, all their lives they are brought up NEVER EVER IN ANY WAY to question or even think twice about the belief their entire surroundings believe in. THEY KNOW they are right and all OTHER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS are false. THEY KNOW THEY WILL BE SAVED while all others will burn in hell. There are millions of different relgious beliefs in this planet, as every main religion possesses endless branches teaching teachings based on it, but that stray from the central belief.

Why would God punish all on the planet, but a handfull of his creations, simply because THEY "KNEW" what "HE WANTED FROM THEM". How can you even ever know YOU are following the right path? Please think of it before trying to use the scare tactic on people.

Have you ever read the Bible?
Somehow, I doubt it.
God states clearly that He is the only way to Heaven. All others are damned to eternal torture in the fiery pits of Hell.
Why do you spread your anti-Christian lies? Do you wish for more people to join you in the flames?
Bible boring? Nonsense!
Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!
You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

I am not nice at all.
If I as someone else and I knew me I would avoid me.
I generally dislike people , don't much care for pointless socialising.
I would rather hunt than chat away to a bunch of anybody.
I would rather work at my given job and mission than socialize
BUT...
I am saved.
I have embraced the Lord, and if it comes to it He is all the friend I need.
I have taken his words and his teaching into me,
I have bathed and been reborn in hs glorious and terrible light.
This, I feel I will probably go to heaven.
I will not say for certain I will,
as that might stumble into the realms of arrogance and pride.
Being nice is nothing to do with getting to heaven.
We will be judged on our works and our shortcomings,
not how often we flashed the pearly whites.
So all those nice as nice can be socializing and happy atheists and suchlike, well, don't get too smug.

And millions of different bliefs are incorrect. Even should we agree to consider th possibility that Christianiity could be false, you must agree that all the myriad contradictory theologies cannot stand in the face of the "truth".

The strength of one's wrongness does not allocate credit to the initial flawed premise. Also, I would say it is an exerercize in innacuracy to suggest all people believe with the same degree of certainty. Some are stronger, some are weaker. As established before a majority of these people are wrong. All of these persona-centric theologies are simply too divergent to be accurate. There is one truth to the reality of our existence. (I suppose if one were so inclined they could try and pull something to the effect of "Maybe different religions are true to different people" but thuis would simply be an exercize in yet another relgious viewpoint to invalidate all others from)

First of all, with the interlinked nature of the modern world, there are few places today that deny people access to the information they need to turn to Jesus Christ. Second of all, anyone who never questions their religion has built their house apon the sand so to speak. If you have not placed your faith through the crucible of introspection, it's a distinct possibility you have a weak and fragile faith.

The fact there are so many wrong beliefs does not make a lie any less harmful. The "if everyone jumped off a cliff argument" works well in this situation. One cannot divert personal responsability for religious innacuracy simply because that's what everyone else is doing these days. Everyone has an equal responsability to find the truth and attempt to understand it.

A shared opinion or perspective likewise does not validate the results. If I have a strawberry under a plate and you have a grape, if we both believe each other have grapes under our plates, one of us is right, and one of us is wrong as far as the reality of the situation is concerned. If I find their doctrine rediculous and they find mine rediculous, if mine is true, I am correct while simeltaneously allowing the other man to be wrong. (in the attempt to appear appear impartial in this precept, the revese could also be said true, as could an instance where we were both sure each other had an orange under their plates)

You can never know completely, knowledge is not faith. God judges your faith when you stand before him when your life has passed. True comprehensive knowledge would invalidate the significance of the human belief of God.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god"
there is no such thing as "too nice to go to hell". all we can do is whats right by god and beg for forgivness for our sins and hope that we will one day be rewarded.

Religion is not based on hope, it's based on FAITH.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Well said.

To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!

What? Are you saying that there is a Jesus2 as well?

Kindness, or niceness, is a subjective trait that differs from person to person, and is unreliable at best. One person might think it's nice to have someone rub their feet - whereas another might recoil in shock, and beat him with her purse until his eye is black, and the surrounding people laugh and mock me as I flee from the damnable public transit and retreat to my local public restroom; seeking sanctuary from the heckling masses.
By the axiom of Christian Reason, neither kindness, nor niceness have any direct correlation with BEING GOOD by GOD(the definitive AUTHOR of our MORALITY). Fortunately, the 1611 King James Bible teaches us a concrete foundation for what it means to BE GOOD.
1 Chronicles 22:13
"Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged."
There is no kindness, empathy, or understanding - ONLY GOOD & EVIL, as defined by GOD.

Kindness - is sort of an interpretive thing.
For example, some think it is mean to punch a queer. I see it as an act of love. If I did not care, if I did not want to see the Homer repent and go to Heaven, then I would not intervene. Would not ignoring the Homer actually be the unkind gesture?
Switching my wife for not following instructions could save her life one day. Is it mean to want to save her life?
Paying minimum wage is not mean. It teaches people how to manage their money. If they learn the lesson well, they can amass a fortune. Is it mean to want to help others become well off?
Does the mother who ensures her child has a full lunch box love her child? No, she does it to make the less fortunate feel bad that not only have they little to eat but it reinforces the notion that their mother hates them.
Does the father that likes to hang out with his daughter, playing 'tea party', love her? Of course not, he is a pedophile on the brink of committing a felony.
So do not jump to conclusions. Most things you see that on the surface look terrible are in reality, acts of love.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
