[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe what the bible says:

[i]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.[/i]
--John 3:17

if you do not believe in Jesus, you are condemned. Your name is not written in the book of life:

[i]And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.[/i]  Revelation 20:15[/quote]

How does it make you feel, knowing that all people of non-Christian religions and people of no religion are going to hell?[/quote]

It makes me feel the same as people on Death Row:  sad, but they are receiving the consequences for their unbelief.  I consider all non-Christians to be evil, even if they act good and do good deeds.  They may not act evil publicly but on the inside they are indeed evil.  Much of the time the evil is suppressed and does not manifest itself until certain conditions occur, such as the removal of police, Christians removed from society, or someone like Hitler using the government to approve evil. 
  
For non-Christians and atheists, God has given them the final consequences of their unbelief.   God is merciful and gives them time to repent, to believe in Jesus, but most do not.

[i]And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and [b]men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil[/b]. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.  [/i]  --John 3:19

When a person, such as a homosexual, repeatedly and willfully persists in that behavior which is disobedient to God, well, God cements that person's choice:

[i]And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, [b]God gave them over to a reprobate mind[/b], to do those things which are not convenient [/i]  --Romans 1:27

God also passes judgment over entire nations such as telling the Israelites to go into Canaan and kill all of them and take the land.  The Canaanites were evil, sacrificing their children to idols, engaging in homosexuality and bestiality and all other sorts of abominations.   After awhile, God passed a final judgment upon them.

It is my opinion that God has passed a final judgment upon the Arabs and others who are evil, turning them over to Islam, Indians to Hinduism, and Jews to Judaism which denies Jesus is the Messiah thus making it an anti-Christ religion the same as Islam. All of these non-Christians are getting the fruit of the seeds which they have sown in unbelief.

And just believing in God does not make you good. 
[i]Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.[/i]  --James 2:19

Wow PP. I knew people like you existed but haven’t really come across many of them. I am one of the “evil ones” you discuss above. How do you and I have a chance to coexist in a pluralistic society?  Do you think I, as an evil person, is allowed societal flexibility or do you think human laws should be created to follow your interpretation of the Bible?  In other words, do you just shake your head sadly at me for when I die or do you also wish to make me “less than” in the eyes of the law?  [/quote]

Yes. The PP is obviously confused. God didn’t turn the Jews to Judaism and the Indians to Hinduism because they didn’t believe in Jesus. Judaism and Hinduism existed long before Jesus was born. Jesus practiced Judaism. Peter and James believed all Christians had to follow Jewish law. Paul believed that following Jewish law was good “much in every way” but was required only of Jewish Christians and not gentile Christians. Modern Christianity says even Jews who convert to Christianity need not follow Jewish law. This is in stark opposition to the New Testament.[/quote]

God turned the Indians over to Hinduism because of their idolatry which they practice to this day and, in my opinion, explains why India is a cesspool of filth, poverty, and disease. Obviously, their gods are not hearing them and they cannot, for these false gods neither hear nor speak.  Worship of Baal existed before Jesus was born but it was evil and God said not to do it, and not to get tattoos and put marks in the flesh for the dead in the way that these pagans did.

Jesus is the Messiah as foretold by Daniel the prophet.  A true Jew recognized their Messiah and believed in Jesus.  Notice what Jesus says in Revelation 3:9
[i]
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie[/i]

What do we see here?  God is going to turn people over to Judaism --the synagogue of Satan, which Jesus sharply criticized in many ways, calling it not of God but of the traditions of men:

[i]For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition [/i] --Mark 7:8
[i]
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. [/i] --Matthew 23:15

Twice now, Jesus is calling Judaism as put forth by the scribes and Pharisees to be a religion of Satan.  In my opinion, Islam and Hinduism are also religions of Satan and their fruits of evil confirm it as such.

There was great debate in the New Testament about circumcision and following Jewish law.  "Modern Christianity" with its refusal to call homosexuality a sin has no credibility in my eyes and is dismissed with prejudice. I see such churches as part of the great apostasy before the Man of Sin appears.
