Would a Christian go to hell doing a sin before they die ?

[QuestionQuest74]

I was having a debate with a friend saying if a Christian committed homosexuality or fornication and died right after they are going to hell. He disagreed and said since they have a relationship with Christ they won’t especially if they was not living that life on a regular basis.

It is amazing how many people either do not believe or do not understand. that Jesus has taken away the sin of the world for every single person born from Adam to the last human to ever be born.

A person goes to the lake of fire (known as hell to many) for only one reason and that reason is they have never believed in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life.

Who is keep that person alive second by second?
God is doing all He can to help people humbly accept His Love as pure charity, so only those who refuse to humbly accept God's charity (Love) as charity are lost.
Yes, we need to repent seek forgiveness and accept God's Loving charity of forgiveness. The person will be given the opportunity to humbly accept or reject, but that is their choice, which is not made for them by past actions.

No, it isn't a matter of sins committed during death, including suicide, or moral lapses of any kind. People can get into a state of turmoil, leading to death that does not reflect who they are or what their faith really is. All can be forgiven based on how God judges the person.

No. Only if the sin is unbelief, rejection of the person and works of our Lord Jesus Christ and the saving work of the Holy Spirit. See the sharp contrast between faith and unbelief in Mark 16:16 and John 3:18.

The reality is that we sin in more ways than we can comprehend and are always in need of repentance and faith in Jesus. But He has graciously taught us to call on God as our Father, which means that we're children of God and co-heirs with Christ, and to daily pray for forgiveness, for God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:5-10)

We can rejoice in that Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This word "sin" in John 1:29 is the singular, which means all sin! That means that our sins, even those we may commit right before death, are nailed to the cross in the body of Christ! That's why we can have a clear conscience and boast in the Lord with thanksgiving and call on His name for help.

All judgement is up to Christ and we are not privy to His judgements ... hell is the grave ... everyone who dies goes to the grave and is in a dormant state ... and will either be resurrected in the first resurrection (the saved) or the 2nd (the lost). ... there is no eternal burning place.

We are to turn away from sin not to continue to live in it ... we may be forgiven ... but repentance is necessary (turning away from sin). ... we can't have the mind set that it is ok to sin ... even if a "little bit". A relationship with Christ through His Holy Spirit will help us (give us power) to overcome sin .... not to remain in it ... it's a earthly lifetime battle against sin.

There are 2 ways that you could lose your salvation:
1. Worshiping other gods
2. Harboring unforgiveness

People do not lose their salvation accidentally like they've lost their car keys. Its a deliberate decision to walk away from the faith.

If a man is living a homosexual lifestyle and he refuses to repent, then I wouldn't consider him a Christian. He is in rebellion against God. A lot of people claim to be Christians when they really aren't worshipers of God, but themselves.

There’s no eternal burning place ? Don’t they talk about eternal fire in the bible for hell ?

The fire comes from God out/from eternity ... He lives in eternity ... not that the fire itself burns for eternity ... but where it comes from ... it comes from our eternal God. Eternal fire because it comes out of eternity ... not that the fire itself is eternally burning.

Malachi 4:1,3. "For behold the day is coming burning like and oven, and all the proud, yes allude wickedly shall be as stubble. And the day that is coming shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, that shall leave them neither root nor branch. . . You shall trample the wicked for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet."

These verses tell us that the wicked will be burned up, burned to ashes.

In another place the Bible says in Psalms 37:10, 11, "For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look diligently for his place, but it shall be no more."

Jude 7 makes this subject very plain. "As Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in a similar manner, having given themselves over to sexually immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Sodom and Gomorrah are not burning today, yet the Bible says they suffered the vengeance of eternal fire. How can this be explained? It means that these cities were completely burned, until there was nothing left.
