??? You can’t be serious! Of course there are righteous people in every religion and, despite their rejection of Christ’s divinity, are still deserving of some level of fecund joy in the afterlife. Is Dennis Prager going to hell just because he’s a Jew? Is Anne Frank currently roasting in hell after being roasted by the Nazis? What about Natan Shcharansky, Simon Wiesenthal, and Walter Annenberg? Are they all going to hell for being Jews? What about Ghandi? Is he currently being tortured for all eternity in hell simply for being a Hindu?
I say no, and God is not that hateful. They deserve to go to heaven for their righteousness.
I understand many confuse the NT description of righteousness - after all, none are righteous in God’s eyes, but the notion that God will torture unbelievers or those who’ve never had a chance to accept his Son, for all eternity is REVOLTING!
I will never worship such an evil god. At least LDS eschatology, with its three tiered heavens reconciles God’s mercy and justice.
Under your thinking.....we all could just be unbeliever's and go to heaven. What does that say about the Bible?
You seriously believe God isn't a God of His Word? Who are you to question God?
Who are you to contradict the Word of God?
Are you sure you're on the correct web site...? Because I know a ton of liberals that believe very similar to yourself...when it comes to heaven and hell.
