Hell

What would cause you to go to hell?

This thread will not be about whether or not hell exsits. Foe arguement sakes it does.

What would cause you go to hell and why?

i personally do not believe in heaven or hell, but as you say for argument's sake in this case, it does....

Hell and what beliefs are held in that word, are always guided towards the negative. If you sin, and do something wrong, you'll go to hell...if you're not sorry, and you don't repent, you'll go to hell....

But is this the case?

But what if you are "insane" or "multiple personality" and you kill someone. If the God is all forgiving and the person was not in there right mind they should go to heaven.......right?


What I think makes someone go to hell is if they know and understand the diffrence between right and wrong, then choose wrong to better or self preserve themselves.Than they go to hell.

You know what I mean?

I said for arguments sake, I am not asking if it does or does not exsist.

haha real nice you just deleted everything i wrote ..... but for argument's sake i guess people would go to hell for murder and other crap like that , definetly not for smoking sigarettes or not going to church on sundays

p.s. are you gonna EDIT this one too ?

I guess that you would have to define what hell, because most religions have their own hells and heavens of some sort.

From a Christian perspective (if that were mine) I would say I would have to commit murder or rape or something to that effect and not ask to be forgiven.

What if Hell is earth, and we are here, what did we do to deserve it?

Okay wes......you would consider killing someone going to hell worthy. As you sit right now, yes or no, would you kill someone (for whatever reason)?

Mia....all you typed was "it doesn't exist dude"

that did not contribute to the forum whatsoever. So I deleted it.

As you may have seen in other threads and you will see if further threads I will do the same if what the person is says does not contribute in any way. For example what you had said. Or you failed to read what I had specifically typed "for arguments sake"

Yes, I would. I can think of several reasons why I would kill someone.

Yes I believe that under the God belief, murder would be punishable by hell.

okaylemme look at this a diffrent way, in your opinin is being a "bad" person a natural part of a human being?

Yes, definitely....

i know this wasn't adressed to me but i think it is
it's like being a kind person .... it was given to you but you sure can control it .... you can improve it or completely get rid of it
and if you just stick with the things the way they are ( and that's what most people do beacuse changing them is too much work ) then you'll just be a "good" or a "bad" person by nature
so "bad" people do deserve punishment for the "bad" things they do, because they KNOW that what they're doing is wrong, but you can't blame them for the ideas and thoughts they have.
so say if i really wanted to to kill someone and even had everything planned out but never actually did it because i realized that it wouldn't be right then i AM a "bad" person and it would be a natural part of me but i was smart enought not to follow my nature and i don't go to hell

*wonders if anyone's gonna read it*

Here's something else to consider... suppose somebody held your child (or someone dear to you) at gunpoint and told you to rob a bank or maybe even kill another person whom you did not know personally. Would letting your significant other die cause you to go to hell? or what about the other route? it would almost seem as if this situation is a one way ticket straight down. I believe that in order to avoid "hell" one must lead a life which is vastly concentrated on the helping of others, fighting off our inherent selfishness will no doubt make a person not only better off in this world but also in the next (assuming there is one).... have I gone a bit overboard for my first post ever?

YES SIR !
i don't know about letting someone you love die i think would just be a guilty concience kind of thing because you didn't really do anything to hurt anyone so you can't go to hell but you'd keep of thinking of what you could've done to save the person and you'd think that you don't even deserve being in heaven ...

Well I think What would Bring someone to Hell well at least should is being untruthful to them self and people that marry and think its just about them being happy because it doens't work that way.. then they Get A Divorce and did I mention I hate People?
