You ask..
Would Jesus send you to hell for not accepting him?
The answer is no.
You send yourself to hell by not accepting him.Now let me explain.Each and every person is born into sin.This has been so since the fall of man in the garden of Eden.The wages of sin is death.This was not the original plan of God for man to die.
God sends his prophets to guide the people in days of old.They were given God's law to abide by.However sin prevailed and the people of old died in their sins.

"Would Jesus send you to hell for not accepting him?
The answer is no."
...because jesus and hell do not exist.
"Each and every person is born into sin."
No. Sin does not exist.
"This has been so since the fall of man in the garden of Eden."
No. the "fall" did not happen and eden did not exist.
"The wages of sin is death."
As are the wages of virtue. Oh, and sin does not exist.
"This was not the original plan of God for man to die. "
God does not exist.
"God sends his prophets to guide the people in days of old."
You mean, raving loonies spout laughable bullshit.
"They were given God's law to abide by.However sin prevailed and the people of old died in their sins."
God and sin do not exist. You're mental.
You send yourself to hell by not accepting him.
So, basically, the answer is yes .
"God doesn't PUNISH you, he just refuses to help you avoid eternal damnation if you don't kiss his ass."
Yea, he's totally blameless, there. Oh, and God CREATED Hell, and is the one who put the metaphysical laws in place mandating that non-believers go to Hell. He's guilty either way, dumbass.
So if I say "give me your wallet or I'll stab you" and you say "no", then you really stabbed yourself by refusing to give me your wallet.
I wonder if that defense would work outside the bizarre world of Christian theology?
I think I'd rather go to hell anyway - hell is the one with hookers and blackjack, right?
Or maybe it's a typo, and you're actually talking about Hull...
OK, first of all, any good lawyer could get you out of hell. I'm not one, but here's how I'd present my lawsuit against God:
Your honor, first of all I cannot be held responsible for the crimes of other people, especially ones committed some 6000 years or more before I was born. Secondly, I never entered into a contract with the defendant which forces me to either be his subordinate or be sent to eternal torment. There is no contract with my signature on it, nor can the defendant produce one. Furthermore the terms set up by such contract require close communication with his son and business partner, one Jesus H. Christ, who has never contacted me in any way. The only form of communication was in written form 2000 years ago, which Mr. Christ cannot claim was written directly to me. He made claims that he would return and the end of the world would occur in the lifetimes of his followers, which is obviously long before I was born. There's no indication that I was to be included in any of this.
So, your honor, I hereby request either eternal paradise or eternal oblivion, and strongly disagree that eternal torment is justified or even fair in this case.
Your husband wouldn't beat you if you didn't piss him off. Why did you piss him off? He doesn't want to hit you, but you make him do it by breathing too loud. Now shut up and don't piss him off unless you want to get hit.
Same fucked up rationalizations, different bully.
so... you follow the bible to a T, and your immortal now? o.O when did this start happening. or perhaps i just read wrong. (reads again) ...soo... you sin, you die... sin prevailed... hmm. sounds like BS. jesus died right? o.O i mean im pretty damn sure the guys dead. even if it took a couple trys. was jebus actually a sinner?? omg!!1! LIKE WHOAH!!!!!!! no seriously. wtf?
Wait one minute..are you saying I will send myself to Hell?
BULLCRAP
If he isnt going to toss me into hell then i am DEFINITELY NOT going to toss myself into Hell.
I have a great compromise.
If I die and Jesus doesnt toss me into Hell, then I will BUM RUSH JESUS AND TOSS HIM INTO HELL!
I imagine millions will be cheering me on, and I also have the "god killing" hands to do it..I have faith that my hands can kill a god. That pretty much means your Jesus is FUCKED!
"You ask..
Would Jesus send you to hell for not accepting him?
The answer is no. "
You should've ended it here. The logical flaw of your argument is that the all-knowing, all-seeing god seems to not bother giving everyone a chance to redeem themselves, learn the truth, or think for themselves.
The idea that this all powerful being would allow alternative religions into the world (and have them rival his own) makes little sense, either making the being powerless in his own world, or lazy. Both lead support the the opposing hypothesis that god doesn't exist.
"You send yourself to hell by not accepting him"
How exactly is that not the same as God sending me? All you're telling me is that somehow it's my fault that my distant ancestors disobeyed God, and it's my fault that God won't show any evidence of his existence.
God sends his prophets to guide the people in days of old.
In other words, his prophets are leading us into the Dark Ages?
Thanks, but "no, thanks."
Which hell are you referring to...?
The Icelandic Hel is a ice covered plain...
Incedentally, according to the Thomas M Disch novel Camp Concentration , Mordecai Washington argues that "The terrors of Dante's Inferno hold no fear for the inmates of Auschwitz...".
You ask..
Did I burn all those people to death in that night club fire?
The answer is no.
They burned themselves to death by not knowing the combination for the locks on the chains I put on all the fire exits.
Did I start the night club fire?
The answer is no.
I lit a small fire in a trash can next to some flammable drapes, but it was a small fire and incapable of harming anyone. I cannot be held responsible for the actions of that fire - it set those drapes on fire of its own free will. By then, I had already left the club.
Confused?
