The real inhabitants of Hell are those who reject God [I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim]

@rottenrobi God is All-Loving and Merciful to those who turn to Him and repent from their sins. I'm Muslim.

@Madeleine What you wrote sounds terrible though. I'm glad I'm not a believer.

@rottenrobi It's the Truth.

@Madeleine Your truth, not mine.

@rottenrobi Fair enough. May God guide us both to the Truth.

@rottenrobi the entire basis of Christianity is based on a hypocritical concept anyways

@ExperienceDLT I'm Muslim.

@rottenrobi You got that right.

@Madeleine [u]God is all-loving [b]regardless[/b] of who loves Him or not. He died for ALL, not just believers[/u]. He is not willing that ANY perish. Even at the cross, Jesus said of His enemies and those who crucified Him...."Father, forgive them!! They know not what they DO!" Does that sound like Jesus is out to condemn or throw people in hell? Hardly! He sure went through horrendous torment, to prove His love for all. He never plays favorites. Jesus, who IS God in the flesh, died to save all...not just some.

@LadyGrace If someone dies not believing that Jesus died for their sins, will they live in Paradise?

@Madeleine Jesus said the way to tell if someone is telling the truth, is if what they tell you, does [b]not[/b] match up with His Word, it is not truth. And you've not answered any of my questions. We're looking for the reasons why you say all these things you've claimed. Jesus said to give an explanation for your claims. It is not only important to know what we believe, but WHY.

@LadyGrace So you believe that one will enter Paradise ONLY if they believed that Jesus died for their sins?

I believe that one will NEVER enter Hell if they repented to God.

@rottenrobi ❤️🤗🌹

@ExperienceDLT How so?

@LadyGrace you can only attain Gods forgiveness and love by following and obeying his rules/ commandments yet it claims he loves "all" his children which is clearly a lie therefore it's all hypocritical

@Madeleine [quote]So you believe that one will enter Paradise ONLY if they believed that Jesus died for their sins?[/quote] [c=#BF0000]Well, that's the plan God explains in His Word, to get to heaven, and He's no liar.[/c]

[quote]I believe that one will NEVER enter Hell if they repented to God.[/quote] [c=#BF0000]Well that's a switch from what you told me just a minute ago. You said we're responsible for our own sins and believe we can save ourselves by doing good works. So if that's the case, and you can earn your salvation yourself, then whom would we repent to? Surely not GOD, since you believe you can save yourself. You're statements are contradictory. Please explain. God's Word says one can [b]never[/b] earn their salvation. You never have to earn the free gift of salvation. It's exactly that...FREE.
[/c]

@LadyGrace I believe that God made His word clear. So anyone who reject His teachings will be thrown into Hell.

Can you tell me what are we arguing about?

@Madeleine If someone dies not believing that Jesus died for their sins, will they live in Paradise?

Grace: No. That's what God said. I believe Him and I'm not going to test him on that.

@Madeleine No. You're not understanding the concept of grace.

@Madeleine You keep saying we're arguing. We're not. I'm simply requesting that you answer my questions about why you believe what you believe and everything else but you keep avoiding that. I just feel it's important to know what you believe and more importantly, why you believe it.

@ExperienceDLT No. I don't know who told you that but that's just not true. That's not the way it works at all. Why would Jesus die on the cross to [b]save[/b] us from hell, then throw is in it? He sure didn't do all that suffering on the cross just to throw us in hell. Defeats his purpose don't you think? You are not understanding the way it works. If you look through my entries under my profile, my articles, I think you'll find plenty to explain the way it works with God. God did not give us any rules, or else he will throw us into hell. God is not the culprit here. Sin is. It's not GOD that separates us from heaven. It's our sins [u]only[/u] that separate us from God. Once our sins are forgiven, they are washed away by the blood of Jesus and we are once again fit for heaven. If sin entered heaven, that is if we went to heaven and dragged our sins with us, it wouldn't be heaven. There's not one of us, unless they are just too prideful or stubborn, that needs to miss heaven. Jesus made that real easy to do, by just praying to him, asking him to forgive us of our sins, and then he forgives them and fellowship is restored with God in heaven. He turns no one away.

@LadyGrace why do all human beings have to suffer because of sin? I wasnt around when Adam and Eve screwed up why should I pay the price for it and why do I have to be "perfect" to earn the love and compassion from God if you are supposed to love all your children then love all of them not just the ones that are blindly obedient

@ExperienceDLT God never once said in his word that we have to be perfect. Just forgiven so that our sins do not separate us from God the father in heaven. Since Adam and Eve CHOSE to sin, that separated them from their heavenly Father and by nature then, all who came from Adam and Eve's bloodline, were born with sin as well. In the very beginning, there was no sin at all and heaven was theirs. Like any good father would, God told them don't eat from the fruit of this tree or you will die. He warned them, but just like our kids do, they disobeyed and then they had to pay the price. God did not abandon them.

Just as when we were kids and we got punished, our parents didn't abandon us, but then you had the problem of losing fellowship with a father or mother, until you said "hey... I'm sorry, forgive me", and then that restored your fellowship with them again, and that's the same way with God. Like with our kids, we didn't enjoy having to discipline them but then if we didn't they never would have learned right from wrong. So if we never tell God we're sorry for our sins (and we can't deny that we have them because look at all the evil in the world) then our sins will KEEP us separated from God.

@LadyGrace he already knows we have them that's why he chooses to damn us unworthy ones to hell

@ExperienceDLT If you read John 3:16 you will see that there are no favorites. We have all sinned and separated ourselves from God. Is it a big deal to ask for forgiveness? Jesus just didn't just [b]say[/b] he loves us. He proved it when he did the hard part FOR US, by dying to pay for our sins on the cross, just so we could be forgiven and live with him for eternity in heaven. Or would you rather the alternative? He didn't have to do that, but he volunteered to do it. I'm very grateful that he did. Otherwise we would all have ended up in hell.
