Why is everyone picking Hell?

Just wondering, why are there so many people rebelling against our God, the creator. If you choose not to believe in God, and Jesus, you are picking to live eternity with the devil. Jesus is coming folks, and he wont be late. You gotta make sure your ready. Its crazy really that people are turning away from gods love, going into the depths of evil and living so low. Everywhere you look takes away from god. WAKE UP YOUR SPIRIT BROTHERS AND SISTERS. We were made for one purpose. Our whole life is a test and u guys just keep failing carelessly. Its so easy to get to heaven, does nobody wanna step up and claim you spot in heaven?

    People generally turn away from God because of Hell. You tell people follow your way and go to Heaven or don't and Go to Hell. Its called Psychology. Humans Generally respond more kindly to Love instead of Fear which is why Jesus preached Love not Fear and I can Honestly say I do not think Jesus would be pleased that people turn to him out of fear instead of love. Christianity has made god out to be some evil who you must follow if you do not want to suffer and that is not who god is. God is Love. If you Follow him he will be happy if you do not I am sure he will forgive for god is love and true love is unconditional.

    Cody, there is a difference between "self-exclusion" from God, and non-belief in God. To exclude yourself from God, you first must believe in God. Hell is the state of self-exclusion from God. Nonbelievers do not go to hell simply for not believing in God. Everybody will be judged on the good and the bad they have done in their life. Even the Bible affirms this. "It is by what they have done for the poor, that Jesus Christ will recognise his chosen ones". (Matthew 25:31-36)

    I'm not, I want to go to Heaven and I'm trying to become closer to God and to live a godly like life and I would love for everyone to accept Jesus Christ into their hearts and as their Lord and Savior s o we could all be together in Heaven, Jesus Christ went through so much for us and I am disgusted that very few people seem to be grateful for the Love God has for us.

    There is no reason to believe in a God, and the reason grows greater every day. Christianity, for example, has had two thousand years to verify it's supernatural claims, but has offered nothing but silence while growing evidence stands in stark contrast.

    Man, you're really eat up with it, aren't you?

    There's no such thing as hell. There's no mention of it in the Torah/Tanakh/"Old Testament." Hell was invented by the early Catholic church as a way to keep the ignorant peasants in line and keep the money coming in. You've swallowed their fable hook, line, and sinker; apparently their scare tactics still work just fine.

    You think because you believe it its true? When some one in wicca or paganism don't have god or Satan but they have a god and goddess that lead them to a more peaceful life? Your religion is true for you but might no be for others it list exactly sending them to hell

    Why do so many 'so called' believers of Jesus help satan by attacking others? We are to love them as Jesus loves them.

    Why do you attack others? Jesus tells us to love them and gives us that example by dying on the cross for us while we were still sinners.

    So why are you doing the work of satan and not that of Christ Jesus? Our actions show whom we follow, your actions here are not showing you follow God and Jesus.

    bless you.

    We are not all called to preach or teach. We all have a different spiritual gift, seek and find it and glorify God/Jesus by using it. And pray for them. If God wants you to preach to then he will get them ready for it, but this is most likely not your calling/gift.

    So live your life glorifying God/Jesus with your gift and pray for others and let Jesus handle those things. Too many try to preach and/or teach when this is not their spiritual gift and doing this makes Jesus look bad. So let us all glorify God/Jesus by using our spiritual gift(s). Look them up and pray that Jesus reveals yours to you. Then do just it to glorify God/Jesus.

    Many go outside their gift and this is against Jesus' teachings. If your gift is administration then glorify God/Jesus with it. If we all are the feet, who speaks? if we all speak, who walks? Jesus says we all have different gifts. And we are to use them to glorify God/Jesus with only them.

    And tell other Christians this, too many try to do too much. And make Jesus look bad in trying to do things they are not called/gifted to do.

    The scripture with all this in it is and it is long so I did not include it: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
