If you dont go to church, do you go to Hell?

Its all about your relationship with god. God wants us to worship him in a public manner and show the world that we love him and that we arn’t ashamed of him– but if there is no possible way that you can get there worship him in your own time. And I totally agree: “I’m a hardcore christian. I do my best to live my life for God and may try to convert you to do the same. haha. honestly though,I think the religion aspect of it is what gets in the way many times, for many people. It sould be about following and searving Christ. period.I put a lot of the blame on the catlolic church and other ‘christians’ who try to shove a bible down the throat of everyone they meet. resently, (as well as histoically) Christianity has become just a bunch of empty rituals and meaningless words, people, even other blievers, seem to have lost sight of what it means to be a CHRISTian. hopfully we can all get back on the right track sooner rather thatn later” –N.C. Shemwell

A lot of religious types believe that they are better than everyone else and that is WRONG! we are no better than anyone else. I choosse not to have a religion because thats not what its about its about loving GOD period and spreading the good news! Jesus came and died for us so everytime we did something wrong all we had to do is ask for forgiveness and TRY! I do go to a non-denominational church so I don’t have the pressure of certain rules that are pointless. Try to go to church it can be fun!!! but your not condemed necessarily if you dont :)

god bless

You don’t know how much me and my friend have pondered that…mostly because of the music we listen to…Cradle of Filth…and we thought it would be stupid if they wouldn’t let us into heaven by the music we listen to!? We’re good people! So it all depends on the good deeds you do in life, that’s what I think anyways.

Hope I helped! Have a good day! :)

Exactly! Kids at school are always on my back telling me this crap… Going to church every sunday doesn’t mean you have a reserved seat for you in heaven!

you don’t have to go to church it wont get you to heaven you have to live by gods word to get into heaven not go listen to it

We just covered this subject. . . . See the link. http://www.funadvice.com/q/is_not_going_to_church_wrong

Boy, you told me…

I guess I am wrong…

jimahl, its not imaginary…such ignorance people has on these kind of subjects

Since hell is imaginary, no, you won’t.

You don’t go to hell, regardless of church attendance.

yah its just a way to know how to live its not a requirement to get into heaven

Nobody is going to hell and I think earth and life is hell anyway

It’s not a matter of being a good or bad person, how kind you are, how much you give or volunteer for charities, or your church attendance - my understanding, of upmost importance is a persons decision in regards to Jesus Christ - God being pure cannot even look upon sin - man, even in his very best state is a sinner - on judgement day, either: your sins are covered by the blood-shed sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (salvation and only salvation - being a nice person isn’t good enough - even at our very best, we are but filthy rags), and remembered no more or they are not (your sins are not covered) - where God’s great love comes into play is, He provided a WAY (Jesus) for us not to perish and live in Heaven with Him (He certainly didn’t have to do this but did because He loved us so) - if you read carefully John 3:16, this is exactly what it says - each person will either accept or reject, you must decide for yourself and yes, it’s so important, it has eternal consequences - He Loves you and wants you to accept God’s free gift to man - Jesus…Hope this helps you !!
