1 | Do gays and lesobians go to hell? | 1 John 2:1 | EverLearning | 92573 | ||
We can know to some degree the mind of God b/c of the Word He has provided us, but we can never be certain of the final judgment to condemn one to hell. The verse you seek is, "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven" (Luke 6:37). Now, the context here is loving your enemies and forgiving their sin so that you will not become take revenge which is reserved for God alone. I am not asserting that believers are not capable of knowing some of the criteria for how God Judges. Niether am I saying that it is wrong for believers to warn people of impending hell fire. I am saying that we are not privy to the heart of any man in the last hours of his life and that the judgment is left to God alone. For any of us to say that we know w/ certainty that some one went to hell when they died reveals our pride and ignorance. |

Everlearning: I understand your point better now. I think when someone has lived a wicked evil life, and died being so, I would not spend one second tring to think they might have had a last breath change of heart. What comes to mind is the two brothers killed in Iraq, two weeks ago. Would you not agree? justme |

Unless God and the two evil brothers were doin' some serious business in the final hours, they are in hell! In my flesh I rejoice at their death b/c their sin was great evil causing much suffering. I'm sure, however, that God does not rejoice in the death of the wicked. He condemns to hell b/c He alone is holy and His judgment must be done for the protection of all the other rational beings in His creation; both physical and spiritual. | ||||||
