If I'm an Atheist and I am not a bad person, will I go to hell?

[bhsmte]

I doubt it.

How do you know?

The Bible is written in dark terms. Not to be understood by just anyone except those who have had the renewing of the mind. I believe that it has been centuries since anyone has understood what the Bible is really saying. If you really understood what the Bible was saying you would marvel at the wisdom of the one who wrote it. You would see that it is saying the same thing over and over and over in each chapter. You would see the love that the author has for mankind. You would see how to experience the hidden blessings that this world has for those who line up with it's truths.

I believe Hell is real and most people if not all people will experience it but only for a period. Matthew 5:17 clearly tells us that weather you obey or don't obey you'll be in heaven. You may be the greatest or the least but you will be there.
If you want to understand more of what God has shown me, go to freedomcatchthespirit.com. This will be a tough read for most Christians and maybe most people but definitely a concept that can be proven by Gods word and if followed actually works. Enjoy

If you are not born again by the Spirit of God, you will not be saved.

That's the POV of your 'denomination' of atheists. Another one insists that the real definition is something else. We're quite obviously dealing with what amount to doctrine and heresy, and the only reason for denying it is because those are terms that are normally associated with Christianity. But the meaning is the same, and that was the point.

But the meaning is not the same. If someone disagrees with me regarding the precise definition of "atheism," I don't brand that person an "atheist heretic," nor do I "excommunicate" them from my "religion." You're clutching at straws here.

 

[bhsmte]

People who do not believe in God do not concern themselves with hell.

I see a lot of Christian posters on this board who do not believe in evolution who seem to be quite concerned about it, to the point they are obsessed with it.

So, why can't a non believer get the opinion of a believer on who goes to hell?

 

[Archaeopteryx]

So no theories about how the universe came out, why we are here, that kind of thing?

Atheism doesn't dictate a precise explanation to the origin of the universe, so no. One may have hypotheses about how the universe came to be, but those hypotheses are not dictated as immutable truths that must be believed and never doubted.

Would you consider a serial killer as Good?

Would you consider a person who does not harm people and dedicates their life to helping others as good?

Again, I ask, who decides what is good and what is evil? WHO?

 

[bhsmte]

If you are not born again by the Spirit of God, you will not be saved.

And what is the requirement to be born again by the spirit of God?

 

[svdbygrace]

No evidence then?

The giraffe is good evidence but I don't expect you to see that either. Our bodies are other good examples. Maybe even the fact that the universe doesn't just fly apart. God revealed through nature reveals Himself to man. Most just suppress this knowledge.

 

[Archaeopteryx]

Like i said. Without regeneration you won't see the evidence. Have you had the gospel shared with you? Would you like to hear it?

I'm a former Christian, so yes, I'm familiar with the gospel.

 

[Kirsten]

How do you know?

Because people who do not believe in God do not concern themselves with hell.

 

[GodBlessed777]

Actually if you read Romans 1 we find that there is no such thing as atheism. All have no excuse as all have had God revealed to them.

I concur. Everybody worships something.

 

[bhsmte]

Again, I ask, who decides what is good and what is evil? WHO?

For the sake of your faith, lets go with the commandments, is that ok?

 

[svdbygrace]

And what is the requirement to be born again by the spirit of God?

With man this is impossible but..........

 

[bhsmte]

Because people who do not believe in God do not concern themselves with hell.

Doesn't mean they can't be curious of the opinion of those who do believe in hell.

Evolution has been proven scientifically impossible. I would never concern myself with it. The point of the teachings of said theory is an attempt to prove God is not necessary.
Why WOULD a non-believer be concerned about going to hell. They wouldn't.

 

[bhsmte]

With man this is impossible but..........

If impossible, then what?

 

[nonbeliever314]

Relax there is no hell as there is no bo

I know there's no hell.

 

[GillDouglas]

And what is the requirement to be born again by the spirit of God?

To accept that Jesus died for your sins.

 

[Kirsten]

Doesn't mean they can't be curious of the opinion of those who do believe in hell.

People already know that if you are not born again, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Well, of course, we may find slight differences, but we also find them among Christians who define heresy and all the rest of this. Some denominations will disfellowship a dissident while others will only excommunicate them, and still others will merely identify them as holding an unacceptable belief. There is no real difference between this and the same thing happening among Atheists. Then too, you are speaking here of what YOU would do as an atheist. Other atheists take a different approach.
