What does it take to go to hell?

***Nothing!

Adam and Eve sinned when they disobeyed God in [Genesis 3:6] and SIN entered into the world...and ALL of creation FELL. God then sentenced them to DEATH in [Genesis 3:19]: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, TILL THOU RETURN TO THE GROUND; for out of the ground wast thou taken: for DUST THOU ART, and UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RETURN."

But because God [in His infinite mercy] loved man, He PROMISED to send a REDEEMER [Genesis 3:15...the SEED ot the "Woman"] and raised up a nation through whom the "seed" would come. That "seed" was Jesus Christ...the Kinsman REDEEMER of Israel who is God's "provision" for the salvation of the whole world: "And He is the propitiation (i.e., sacrifice) for our sins; and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world" [1 John 2:2].

In answer to your question...one has to do NOTHING to go to HELL...for we are all born sinners on our way to Hell. God sent His Son Jesus Christ who took our sins upon Himself [that is, He became our SUBSTITUTE and took the consequences of our sins upon Himself and satisfied the justice of God on our behalf]. He offers us salvation as a Gift [Ephesians 2:8,9]...FREE of CHARGE when we place our trust in His COMPLETED work at Calvary for us.

Now because salvation is a GIFT we must RECEIVE it [Revelations 3:20;John 1:12,13] to be saved...that is we must reach out in faith and receive the GIFT of God [Jesus Christ]..."For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" [Romans 6:23].

Failure to ACCEPT God's PROVISION for our salvation in Jesus Christ will send you to Hell.

You get all of your information from the bible, why do you believe the bible in the first place?

All it takes is to see a boob before marriage.

Besides from the hypothsis that you are insane...

Adam and eve sinned because they ate fruit from a tree that your God put there?

Why did God have to create this evil tree in the first place? Is god evil?

***Not so. Skeptics like you try to dismiss the reality of Hell...and like to think that life as we know it couldn't get any worst...but the sufferings in this life will be heaven compared to the suffering in the next life for those who die in their sins. This life is the closest thing to Hell that Christians will ever know...and the closest thing to heaven that sinners will ever know.

The Bible refers to the fate of the UNSAVED with such fearful words as the following:
(1)"Shame and everlasting contempt." [Daniel 12:2]
(2)"Everlasting punishment." [Matthew 25:46]
(3)"Weeping and gnashing of teeth" [Matthew 24:51]
(4)"Fire unquenchable" [Luke 3:17]
(5)"Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anquish" [Romans 2:8,9]
(6)"Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord" [2 Thess. 1:9]
(7)"Eternal fire...the blackness of darkness for ever" [Jude 7,13]

Revelation 14:10,11 tells us the FINAL, ETERNAL DESTINY of the SINNER: "He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone...the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever and they have no rest day or night."

If you do NOT know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, Lord and God...ALL of the above will be what you WILL inherit...for it is written: "The WAGES of SIN is DEATH [in Hell]...but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ , our Lord." [Romans 6:23].

The CHOICE is yours.

^Why do you believe in the bible? I think the answer is because your mother and father told you that the bible was true, and your mom and dad could never be wrong. Have they ever been wrong?

You don't have to do anything to go to hell. You just have to be.

In the Christian paradigm life is like a train with no brakes heading toward hell fast enough that you can't jump. Christ is like the rescuer hanging out the helicopter holding his hand out for you to take. In order to avoid hell, all you have to do is grab the outstretched hand.

Clear as mud?

It's sad she uses logic instead of a flawed book?

I knocked a guy out in a kickboxing match, and I felt great about it, so I'm going to hell for pride. 👿
I'll get use to it, like a hot-tub.

The idea that the information in the bible is hidden from people who are not Christians is a LIE!.

Actually I think it's a misinterpretation.

Jesus own words: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Obviously not everyone would get what He was talking about (In this case the parables). But people who paid attention and thought it through would eventually get it. In other words, people who actually listen and don't just assume.

There is a nice easy quote function. Use it instead of endless symbols.

I agree with you, but the way that some Christians use the idea to say that non-Christians pay attention, but will not hear the truth. They us it as an excuse for their own ignorance.

BTW I sometimes I say things in real general terms, and I realize that I am not always right. Some Christians do not fall under the umbrella of my generalization. To those Christians like docb77 & Regret, to name two that have called me on this, I ask for your understanding, and patients. I have learned that there are good Christians, but it is the bad ones that I battle.
