I have a question about... the whole "Heaven" and "Hell" business.?

I mean in no way whatsoever to be offensive!

I was raised and taught by Christian morals. I technically accepted Jesus into my heart multiple times, I've been to church, I listened to pastors preach. I've prayed to God and asked for forgiveness for more things than I can count.

But... it felt so limited. I didn't know for sure if Christianity was something I could say I wholly believed in. That's when people to tell you to have faith, but I began thinking for myself about the age of 12.

I don't hate religion, I love all people in a way.

I just decided to develop my own morals and my own beliefs instead of what I was taught to believe.

I know that if I died, having never committed a serious sin in my life... I think it would be unfair if I was pushed away because I decided to use the free will "that God gave me", and realize on my own that I wouldn't abandon my brothers and sisters who died and went to Hell, because if there is a Hell, and there is one for almost every religion... I want to be there for the people who've gone there. Even though I don't wholly believe in it anyway.

And what of the "people God created" who never learned of Christianity? Did they die doomed because of limited knowledge?

It doesn't make sense to me.

Again, I don't mean to offend anyone, and if people could stop throwing verses of the Bible at me... that'd be great. I know them all, I've read the Bible many times.

I just don't believe in every word it has to say.
 
If the all loving Christian god exists, then there would be no reason for hell to exist.
There are tribes that haven't been contacted by the outside world yet, meaning they only know about their tribe's customs, traditions and religions.
For an all loving deity to send these people to hell because they've never head of that deity, is going against that deity's principals of being all loving.

Believe what you believe is right for you, and don't believe in something just because of what the people around you say.
 
I've been starting to question it too. It's completely normal.

The people who never learned of Christianity, well, I guess we don't know what happens to them. But, we know you get into Heaven by believing that Jesus is the Son of God and He died for our sins. If you do not fully believe this, you'll go to Hell.

I really don't know if the Bible is true or not, because God Himself isn't here to tell us, but it's okay to question.
