Christians who tell non believers they will burn in hell please answer this.?

I believe Jesus said this, and He meant exactly what He said............ Then he (Christ) will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. Matthew 25:41-46 Also if what you are asserting is so, then the eternal life Jesus spoke about is a complete farce.

Also Jesus was bearing false witness when He told this story in Luke's Gospel, because He asserted there is consciousness after death, both for the just and the unjust. So I think you need to adjust your theology, because you are in error. 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side.

The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.

’ 25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us. ’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers.

Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment. ’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them. ’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.

’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ Luke 16:19-31.

The Psalms are from very ancient times, and in those times, the Israelites believed that the soul either did not survive after death at all, or that the state after death was like a deep sleep forever, not knowing anything, not seeing, hearing or sensing anything. Obviously, this POV was not the same all over the world. Egypt had a different view, as did other regions.

In the Intertestamental period, the concept of paradise began to arise in Jewish thought, to the point where you get the wonderful passage in the Wisdom of Sirach "The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and there shall no evil touch them." by the time you get to Jesus, Paradise is very well established, and also a place of torment has begun to have a modest place in Christian thought. Hell is hard to justify. After all, we are what we are because it was God's will that we were created.

If we are not behaving in the way God clearly intended, then there's no other conclusion than that God somehow screwed up in creating us. If we are as God intended, then our behavior HAS TO be as God expects and intends. So it's hard to justify a doctrine of hell at all and still make any sense at all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
