Questions from Without: Hell Is Up Next

It's hard in an email to just throw out these questions when they represent 30 years of my emotions and deep concerns. Just last night I had another question come up in my thoughts during the night. Could you go over Hell? (Don't laugh.) This question of Hell is one that is always a part of a religious discussion here. What I mean is the idea that if someone doesn't believe in Jesus as their savior and lord then they won't have eternal life. I've always responded that yes Jesus is the way the truth and the life but God is the ultimate judge of a man's soul. This was how it was asked of me.There is only a certain percent of the population that is Christian. Do you mean to tell me that all of these other people are going to hell? It says that to be a Christian you have to believe that Jesus was raised from the dead and only those that believe in that are going to have eternal life. What about the rest of us? What about all of the people that went before us that didn't believe. That's a lot of lives not having eternal life in heaven. Craig this is the kind of thinking that is real to some non believers. I always say God is the judge of a man's soul.

These are the coming questions. I wanted to let you all know what is next. Damn.

So Jerry went to hell, I missed that on Fox News. I like Craig's view on this... God is the ultimate judge of our soul.

No one goes to Hell for not believing in Jesus. People that go to Hell did something that is seriously evil. Some one in the Roman Catholic Church edited their own thinking in the bible. Jerry Falwell believed in Jesus but he did not go to Heaven. So the bible is wrong there. Melanie Stefine
