Is there a section of h**l for people who didn't do anything wrong but just didn't believe in Jesus?

Question

Someone who didn't do anything worse than a Christian who went to Heaven, because you all are so goddamn picky :)

Answer 1

Not believing in Jesus is their worst sin and is their h**l.

Answer 2

Depends. People who didn't believe in him because they didn't have the opportunity will have the opportunity after they die and, if they accept him, will go to Heaven. People who heard about him, but what they heard was flawed or incomplete will have the same opportunity. Those who heard his message, understood it, and were fully aware of their decision to reject him won't go to h**l (as in fire and brimstone) but they won't enjoy the same grandour that those who accepted him fully will be blessed with.

That is why, in 2 Corinthians 15:40-41, Paul talks about different degrees beheld in the glory of the resurrected. He says that some are like the sun, others like the moon, etc. and that they, like the stars,  are all different in their glory - just like we are all different in our level of "righteousness" in this life.

The only people who will actually have to go to h**l are those who are "perdition". Jesus makes that clear when he says (John 17:2)  "none of them is lost, but the son of perdition".

So this begs the question: What is perdition? In 2 Peter 2:21, Peter speaks of them and says: "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."

So it was those who KNEW the way of righteousness and then TURNED from it. It takes alot to actually KNOW something (rather than to just have faith), so you'd have to actually know and then willfully turn away from that which you know to be true in order to qualify for h**l. Not as easy as most of the Christians make it, eh? But that's what the Bible says.

Answer 3

Making it to heaven (as oposed to ending up in h**l) is a little like walking a tightrope across a volcano.  It doesn't matter if you miss your step by an inch or by ten feet.  Either way you burn.

Answer 4

Who has not done something wrong? I don't know anybody like that

Answer 5

People go to h**l for not accepting the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

no, But there used a place better than earth and worse than heaven. But that was before Jesus died. BTW he went to Hades not h**l after he died for 3 days.

Though I don't get why they would call that place Hades if it's better than earth.

Answer 7

God's love necessitates having a h**l. One of the psalms says God is "merciful and true." Yes, God is loving, but He is also just. The two aspects are complementary, not contradictory. If we want to be forgiven, we must repent and ask for forgiveness. That is true not only with God but with every day life, too. If a criminal feels he deserves a lighter sentence (or no sentence at all), he must send his lawyer to speak to the judge or the prosecutor. If the criminal appears to be unrepentant, there is little (if any) chance of clemency. Likewise, we must turn to Christ who advocates for us before the Father. To receive clemency, we must be sincere. Would it be loving to the criminal's victim to let him off easy if he is unrepentant? Of course not. God, as the ultimate victim of all sin, likewise cannot be loving to Himself or to others against whom sin was committed if He allows into Heaven those who are unrepentant. That is the meaning of justice. Love is a broad concept which our society has narrowed to exclude justice. That is a shame. Properly understood, love (and thus God), includes justice.

While God desires that everyone would choose to love Him, some people will choose not to. These people will die in their sins and be separated from God forever which is h**l. God loves us so much that He respects our freedom of choice. If we choose not to love Him, then why would He want to force us to live with Him eternally in heaven? Wouldn't living for eternity with someone we don't love be h**l anyway?

Answer 8

There isn't such a thing as somebody who hasn't done anything wrong. That's why we need Jesus in the first place.

Answer 9

Yes, and I understand that the company if fabulous.  Gandhi, Groucho Marx, the Buddha, Einstein....

Answer 10

everyone sins so everyone does wrong but h**l is in layers those who never heard are treated the least bad but the worst is for the people that like went to christian school went to church there whole life

Answer 11

As far as the christian god is concerned, atheists are just as bad as baby rapers.  

Answer 12

Yes, and since unbelief is the worst sin, that section is the hottest!

Answer 13

h**l is the second death.  All who go there will cease from existence.

Answer 14

Believing in Jesus is the thing that opens the door to eternal life. h**l is the alternative.  We are all sinners -- those who believe in Jesus and accept Him as their savior as well as those who don't.  

At the end of the day, it is not about what you did or did not do wrong. It is about Jesus Christ and whether or not you accept His gracious offer to follow him to salvation and eternal life.

Answer 15

What and where is h**l? The pastors that threaten the eternal damnation of of a firey burning eternity are playing on the fears of their congregations. No h**l! Jesus was a loving man who only wanted the best for all. He even pardoned the good theif. If you believe in redemption, even Charlie manson on his deathbed could repent and go to heaven. Up to you but go figure!

Answer 16

yes it is in matthew. keep looking and you wil find it.

Answer 17

Be aware that we are all born into sin and that we are sinners.  There is no one sinless.  And if you don't believe in God then , yes, you will be in h**l, but there isn't any club med section.  You will all be in the same exact horrifying fire pit.  I'm curious, why would anyone want to risk being in ETERNAL h**l, when the easier way out would be to just believe in God and become saved.  If you were right then what do you have to lose ?  But if Christians are right you have everything to lose. Understand?  Then you don't ever have to wonder about things like this.

Answer 18

There are no sections since the is no h**l.

Except the h**l on earth that certain christians seem to be trying to create.

Answer 19

Yeah...its called Wyoming.

Answer 20

Hopefully yes, and we can all just sit around toking.
