    No, all religions do NOT teach that.

    In fact, of all the religions out there, *ONLY* Christianity (and its variants) and Islam (and its variants) teach that.

    Reading these questions it seems that only Christianity profess eternal hell one which you can never escape from..one that you are separated by God. Even Islam says a person can get out of hell if they were not that "bad" in their earthly bodies. Reading these comments made me even more happy that I choose to follow Jesus with all my heart and all my soul. Because lets say there is this possibility that the Bible is wrong... (God forgive me for typing this) But lets just say..We as Christians myself included don't have much to loose because most religions don't believe in hell and if they do then you can always "escape" but with Christianity their is no escape. So if Christianity is correct which I believe with all my heart and soul that it is correct and Jesus is the only way then Christians come up on top regardless. But I know the Bible is correct and Jesus promised Me and the rest of his Brides that he will come for us and he will not abandon us.That is why I believe without a doubt Jesus is the only way to salvation. And I for one am holding on to his promise of his second coming.

    You keep an opened mind and search for it. Not all Religions believe in the Hell concept. As a non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Being and not your physical body, you live forever more. A Spiritual Being should learn and know how to make it so Eternity is a good experience for themselves. A lot of non-physical Beings today on this planet falsely think of themselves as a physical body and need to find out who and what they really are, to be free again, before it's too late. Good luck!

    There is no religion that will give anyone salvation. Religion is man's attempt to reach God. Salvation is a free gift offered by God to anyone who turns from sin and trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

    God does not ask for religion but rather a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

    John 3:16-18

    John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

    Acts 4:11-12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.

    And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

    First of all, only a few religions say this.

    Second of all,

    That is a very common question that is almost getting annoying now. You will never get any clear answer. the clearest answer you will get is: Its up to you.

    I had this same question my self. What i did for the next several months was do research on all the different major religions, such as Islam, Buddhism, etc. as well as doing research on the existence of God. I suggest you do the same, and if you believe in God, pray to him to give you truth, wisdom and understanding. Go with your gut feeling, and think with a free and open mind, and you will eventually come to your own conclusion.

    Every religion believes all the others are going to hell, which means they are are going to hell. Simple. No religion is right. They are glorified social clubs for like minded people. The only right religion is the spirituality you carry around in your heart and soul.

    Realistically when it comes right down to it, just as long as you believe in Jesus and God with all your heart and try to follow his word everyday, religions dont really matter. Look at the Catholic religion with all its power but yet its priests molest little children and pay for it to go away. Not cool at all! The rest are starting to flow away from the good book with gay marriages and such and now facts are surfacing about the authenticity of the Bible over the years so who knows whose religion to believe in anymore but just as long as you believe and trust in him youll be alright. Humans arent perfect and sin and make mistakes everyday so only God will judge us and send us to wherever he believes is best no matter what we do here. Sorry if I offended someone, this is only my opinion, and I believe in God as all my oaths are sworn to him and his people only

    Thats where faith comes in...if you rlly want to know you have to analyze every aspect of every religion to see which one makes the most sense and which one feels like the correct one to you...most religions say that if you do good things then u go to heaven, paradise, ect...but there has to be a single correct one and if most are saying do good but follow in different ways can those rlly be correct, look for one with a major difference to the rest

    Religion which ask you to worship ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD by true faith and not by doing any earthly work and Give or Donate all that you have to your Neighbour, Needy, sick, weak, poor, lonely, orphans, etc and serve all these with your own hands, mind and soul. Pray for sick, needy not from your house, society, nation or religions but from your enemies. Cast our devils from self and from others and says that don't even bother for tomorrow. And also says that Worship one and only ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD, Respect your parents, love your neighbours, do not kill, do not steal, do not trespass, Stop idol worship, No to adultery, No to backbiting,

    No, not "all religions" believe that. Actually, it's only Christianity and Islam that promote that. Modern Paganism and Judaism does not teach this

  • 1 decade ago

    No - not 'all' religions believe that.

    Judaism doesn't - there is no 'hell' in Judaism. We believe that all righteous souls have a share in the world to come.

    I don't think Pagans believe that 'non believers' go to hell', either.
