[quote:Anonymous Coward 49801954:MV8yNDUyMTQ1XzQyMTk2NzE2XzlCRUIyMDM5] [quote:gbear:MV8yNDUyMTQ1XzQyMTk1NDEzX0ZCNzJDNTAx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 49801954:MV8yNDUyMTQ1XzQyMTkxNzIwX0M0NzJFRTc2] Ridiculous nonsense. A life spent doing good deeds with unselfish motives matters whether or not you've ever heard the name of Jesus or cared to accept the story of his existence. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. [/quote] Yes, it DOES matter and they are good works that can impact people's lives. But that can't get you out of the "place" of sin. Only way out is accepting Christ and believing him, which moves you into a place of righteousness. [/quote] I'm sorry, but you're terribly wrong. Your religion has blinded you into thinking something so nonsensical that I truly feel sorrow for you. To think that someone cannot be free of sin because they do not believe in the existence of Jesus is so illogical it's a wonder people convince themselves to believe it. Tell me, can the aboriginal tribes who've never heard the name Jesus never be righteous because of that? Of course they can. Because righteousness is a matter or conduct not a matter of belief. Do yourself a favor, and remove yourself from this boxed in way of thinking you've resigned yourself to. Believe in Christ, by all means. But this ideology that one must accept Christ or be damned is an absurdity of immense proportions. And this is coming from a person who believes that the Jesus figure indeed lived. The deeds of our lives will be what we are judged by. The love we've spread. The unselfishness we've shown. These are the things Jesus is concerned with, not whether or not we believed he existed.

Original Message
Those who fail to accept the free payment of their sins, paid by Jesus's death, go to hell because they are still in the prison(place) of sin.
Once you accept Christ you are moved into the place of righteousness.
All the bad deeds are not what send you to hell. The punishment for those sins were judged and punished in the body of Jesus Christ at the cross.
It's what you choose to do with Christ that determines your ultimate fate.
May God's grace find you
