Yeah, LadyForCamus, how dare you assume who will god send to hell based on the Bible, like verses:
Galatians 2:16
A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:28
A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 3:18, 36
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already .... He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
When you should have gone with not what is actually in the Bible but what SteveII wants it to be in the Bible.
On more nuanced subjects regarding Christianity, I check your posts to see if it is possible someone might think you have a point. That could be the case here, so let me correct that now.
When I say that people go to hell because their sins have not been atoned for--that is the correct/precise/plain/simple reason. You could ask how one gets that atonement--then you would find verses like those above. Jesus is the actual atonement that one needs to have their slates wiped clean.
