I am curious to understand the "logic" behind Christianity and h**l?

Question

According to Christians people "choose" to go to h**l because they do not believe in Jesus as their savior, for them we are rejecting God.

Number one, Jews or Muslims don't reject the same God, they simply reject Christianity.

Hindus don't reject God, they just believe in a different type of God/gods.

Number two agnostics and atheists don't reject ,they simply DON'T BELIEVE ,just like you Christians don't believe in the God Vishnu , same thing, you simply DON'T BELIEVE in the God Vishnu..

Number three: if God had not created h**l, there would be no h**l to be sent to, therefore it is God's choice to send people there because he is the one that created h**l. He has the power to destroy h**l but he does not. It is HIS CHOICE.

Who is the one that makes the final judgment to send people there?

It is your God making the final judgment, therefore HE IS THE ONE CHOOSING TO SEND PEOPLE THERE. He makes the judgment , he sends people to be tortured.

Finally if he thinks we are rejecting Jesus, why do we have to be tortured forever? Why does this h**l have to last forever , is this the best an all loving and forgiving God can do?

Answer 2

There is a lot of misunderstanding about Christianity and it is primely because of the teachings of Protestants. They teach that unless you accept Jesus as your personal savior, you shall be doomed. This is not true. What do they mean by accepting Jesus as personal savior? Anyone can do it. I can simply say Jesus is my personal savior; does it take me to heaven? No, never! Accepting Jesus means, accepting God. If you accept God, surely you accept Jesus. Jesus has taught you to follow the commandments of God. Jesus said he is the way to God. So if anyone wilfully obey God, he can not reject Jesus. When one does the will of God even without knowing Jesus, he will be love both by God and Jesus, since that is what they want. This is what Real Christians believe and teach, but Protestants not only are real Christians, but they are not even good humans. All people are God's children and whoever follows God with a clean heart, is surely following Jesus, knowingly or unknowingly.

Answer 3

To put it in simple terms, pardon the analogy, h**l is just a dumping place for what is useless to the creator. In our homes, we do not keep useless things; we throw them away as trash. We, the homeowners,  make the decision what things are kept and are thrown away, depending on whether it’s valuable to us or not.

Accordingly, the bible says (2 Timothy 2: 20, 21), “In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

On this basis, if we consider the world as God's home, he gets to decide what is valuable or invaluable; contingent on our freewill,  we are given the choice whether we would want to be of value to him or not.  

In Christianity people are cleansed or are forgiven by faith, for the bible says (John 3:16-18) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life . . . Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

All men are sinful (Romans 2: 9-12), bible declares there is no one that came into being who is righteous,  all are worthless to him for we were all brought up in the way of our great grandparents who rejected God’s way (Genesis 5: 1-3). To reconcile us to him, an atoning sacrifice for the remission of sins is required (1 John 2:2), which is Jesus’ sacrifice.



As the ruler of the house, He demands that our deliverance is by faith, hence by choice. This is why a person who does not believe is not saved regardless of religion, race or creed.

As to why does the punishment have to be forever is his discretion. My question to you is, if this is your concern why don’t you make the right choice.

Answer 4

It does not matter who is facing this question:

Logic and God don't compute well together...

Answer 5

There is no logic at all in Christianity.

It is just non-sense, mythology taken from earlier religions such as Zoroastrianism.

The poor Christians are just brainwashed, and do not bother to research the origins of their myth.

Answer 6

According to Christians, people just do what they want and dont want to be hindered with what they want to do. Christians warn them so that the people concerned will know the consequences of their actions, not exactly "people chose to go to h**l".

1. Jews dont reject God; they just rejected the one supposed to betheir Messiah.

Muslims acknowledge that there is a God, but they seem to take that the God of Jews and Christians is different from their Allah, hence they hate Jews and they punish Christians in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia.

Hindus dont reject that there may be Divinity, but why do they prefer Bhagavad Gita over Veda? They dislike the idea of the "One God"?

2.Agnostics may consider the existence of a God, but half of them believes that there is no God. Atheists reject God because... (see etymology of "atheist")

3. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

It's like this: God and man are supposed to be cooperating or going the same way.

When man wants to divert, he gets to sin, and God dislikes that.

Since man sins, and God dislikes sin, man received the penalty of death, and after death, man reaches h**l.

God made a solution for prevention of further falling of men. So it now depends on man if he will go according to the plan. If he doesnt...well....

Answer 7

i dont reject god, because e doesnt exist :)

how could i reject something that isnt there

you dont miss something that you never had...i never had god in my life so therefore i dont miss it (y)

Answer 8

If what Christ claimed of Himself is true, He is indeed God manifest in flesh. Therefore your rejection of Him is a rejection of God.

Agnostics and atheists have the same opportunity to come to Christ that everyone else does. They choose to reject, for whatever their reasons. That is your choice, not God's.

God created h**l for satan, and those who would follow him. The choice to follow God or the other is still the individuals choice. You not liking the options available doesn't change anything. It's still your choice in the end.

God makes the final decision based on what you chose during your lifetime. He saves those who call upon Him in faith and trust to save them from the sin they themselves engage in. If you feel nothing you do is sinful and owe God no explaination for your actions, then you are making an informed decision of rejecting God and His word. That is not God's problem.

You don't have to choose h**l..You have another option available. If you choose to say no thanks, then no you won't live eternally in the presence of God as per YOUR CHOICE.

h**l is there for those who choose to reject God. Who makes the choice for you to do so? Not God, or anyone else. As I said, you not liking the options available doesn't take away your choice to decide which of them to take. If you choose to live with God in your life, you will not be condemned. It's that simple. If you choose to spend you life rejecting Him, then He will accomodate your choice and send you to be where He is not. Eternally.

Answer 9

The confusion comes from your concept of the reason why a person goes to h**l.

It is not about believing in "god".

even Satan believes God exists, actually he KNOWS it.

So this is how I see it.

Every other religion is about man reaching to God.

only Christianity is about God reaching down to man.

Because of his GREAT LOVE.

Details,--- Just an explaination of the stuff above...

God basically wants us to acknowledge him in our lives and live a pure life.

The problem?

Nobody is pure. Even if we act right, we can't talk right, even if we talk right, we can't think right.

Jesus said if you just look at a  woman to LUST,. you already comitted adultery in your heart.

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer.-Jesus

So God's standards are not only HIGH. but they are PERFECT.

So the only way to pass God's standard is to be PERFECT.

and since we can all admit that NOBODY IS PERFECT.

we are all screwed...

That is the point.

All other religions give credit to people and their own merits.

Do this this this and this, meditate pray, sacrifice  do this this this.

and you will be saved....

only Christianity allows God to be God.

Only God can save his people.

People can't save themselves.

(your concept of h**l may be inaccurate to what the bible actually teaches aswell)

thats a different topic, but well thats what you get for asking so many questions in one post...

you can't earn perfection so you don't deserve heaven.

so where do you go?

God can't annhilalate you since that would be like murder.. the same for preventing someone from existing, no matter how evil or h**l bound they are. that would be abortion.

so God does what we all do..   separation from society so as to prevent contamination , kind of like jail or exile.

as for h**l, i believe its more like a void where you will feel extreme pain (like fire) burning through your soul..

mainly from your regrets from your actions on earth....

and your decision not to accept forgiveness...

you see, you dont go to h**l for rejecting forgiveness.

you go to h**l for not being perfect. you simply sin.

its like this.

a person smokes cigarettes.

he gets cancer

he is dying.

doctor offers a treatment

person rejects treatment.

then you make a statement.

That is unfair, he died just because he refused a treatment.

(making it sound like refusing the treatment was the cause)

no. he was dying to begin with.

the same for h**l.

you dont go to h**l because you refuse forgiveness

you go to h**l for sinning.

thats the point.

don't blame it on the treatment.

blame it on your sins.

this is something most people can't grasp.

Answer 10

Basically, by rejecting Christ, someone is rejecting righteousness. I have never heard of anyone rejecting Christ for not being righteous enough. Making God an angry judge, is a cloak for sin, no one who is righteous has anything to fear from a JUST God.
