What do you have to do to go to hell?

Answer 1

A sin is anything that you've done wrong. A sin is a sin is a sin.

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

BUT John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life."(emphasis mine)

Jesus was sent as a sacrifice to take all the sins of the world away. His grace covers us and sets us free! If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and repent, you will go to heaven. That means turning away from sin, and accepting God's grace and love, and cultivating a relationship with Him, with Jesus. That doesn't mean that you automatically won't sin. You're still human, and it's in our nature to sin (Usually called, walking in the flesh). But that's why Jesus came, to take away our sins, and help us walk with Him. That's also not an excuse to go off sinning after you've accepted Jesus as your Savior because you know your sins are forgiven. It's not a code where you just say the words, or go to church every Sunday, or say 11 hail marys, or do something good everyday to get to heaven. It's not about going through the motions. It's not about religion. It's about relationship with Jesus. He's God and He's more magnificent and Holy and amazing then any of us can even fathom! He doesn't fit in our paradigms, our boxes. He's not that guy on the glass windows. He's not that menacing voice in the sky that wants to smite us. He doesn't live in the building people call church. He's closer than the air we breathe, and Creator of the Universe. He is worthy to be adored and to be praised! God knows that. Not because he's arrogant or prideful. Again, he's bigger than our human paradigms. Sometimes when we describe God, it's easy to picture Him as human and that's trying to box God. He doesn't fit in our boxes! He is a person though. He is Love, true love. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. Isn't that amazing!? I encourage you to talk to Jesus, and to read The Bible (old and New Testament). And plug-in to a church that will help you in your walk with God, that will help you grow in your relationship with Jesus, not that just go through the motions itself. Remember, it's not about religion, it's about having a relationship with Jesus. Here's a link that I hope will help you:

The question is how do we get out of hell if you are asking in a Jewish or christian context. Assuming you are getting the word hell from our bible translations. Hell is a place of weeping and teeth grinding, a place of darkness and confusion, a place separated from god. Don't let anyone teach you the word, you must dig your own well to living water. go into it pray and believe-test it-as it says believe in his promise to you and know he will teach you and be prepared for what you see will be different than all you have heard-like it but much more powerful and it will make sense--you need no man teach you unless you like learning about notgod who really teaches only one thing with certainty and that is why this is the valley of the shadow of death-its their only certainty.

Another Answer:

According to the The Bible, ALL people go to 'hell'. You don't have to do anything at all. The only requirement is that you 'die'. Because EVERYONE who DIES, goes there.

References:

The word translated into English as 'hell' is a misunderstood word.

The Hebrew word used in the Bible is 'sheol' (or 'sheʼohl′). King James Version translates it 3 different ways into English (hell-31 times; grave-31 times; pit-3 times)

To undo the confusion, other translations 'transliterate' (not translating) the word as 'sheol'.

· Regarding the word 'sheol' A CompendiousHebrew Lexicon, Samuel Pike stated that it is "the common receptacle or region of the dead; . . . the grave . . ." (Cambridge, 1811, p. 148)

Therefore 'sheol' is the 'common grave of all mankind', both good and bad.

· Collier's Encyclopedia (1986, Vol. 12, p. 28) says: "Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word 'hell,' as understood today, is not a happy translation."

· Regarding the word "Sheol," Brynmor F. Price and Eugene A. Nida noted: "The word . . . refer(s) to the place to which all dead people go. . . . in which there is no activity . . . . There are no moral distinctions there, so 'hell' (KJV) is not a suitable translation, . . . . In a sense, 'the grave' in a generic sense is a near equivalent, except that Sheol is more a mass grave in which all the dead . . ." go.

Therefore according to reputable scholars; and according to The Bible itself, we ALL go to 'hell' ('sheol') at the point when we die. The concept of an 'immortal soul' is not from Bible origins, but is from non-bible or pagan origins. Likewise the concept of 'eternal torment' is also from non-bible origins.

Learning the truth from God's Word about what really happens at death, 'the truth sets you free.'

No. as long as your not a devil worshiper you are good

Answer 2

One thought:

You do nothing. Just go on with your life as if it were one big joke. At least, we don't have to do anything more to get to Hell. What sends a person to Hell is sin and the Bible makes it very clear that we are all sinners, "As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one." and, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Since we are all sinners, there is nothing more we need to do to get to Hell. Now, as far as getting to Heaven, that's what Jesus came to earth and died on the cross for, to provide us a means of going to Heaven and avoiding Hell. As the Bible states, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Jesus who was without sin went to the cross, took all of our sins upon Himself, and died for us. When Jesus died, he paid the price for all our sins and so by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior you accept the gift of eternal life, paid for in full by the blood of Christ, and you are guaranteed Heaven and not Hell. Its those who do not accept the gift of eternal life by accepting Jesus as their savior who go to Hell. So the sin that gets a person sent to Hell would be the sin of refusing Christ as savior. So to get to Hell a person would have to not accept Christ as their savior, so to go to Hell a person has to do nothing, or at least they would have to do nothing more since we are all sinners.

A second thought:If you:

• deny existence of God the Creator, and/or
• deny the 2nd life and deny Hell and Paradise, and/or
• Worship partners with God.

Answer 3

if your havnt received christ as your savior i don't mean go to a catholic church

Answer 4

Turn away from God through sin or disbelief, and be unrepentant till the day you die. Remorse will most likely save you from Hell, but try not to succumb to sin, and above all, keep faith.

Answer 5

Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Answer 6

Of course, you can only go to hell if hell actually exists. So you have to have faith that there is a hell, but not have faith in Jesus. Christians then say you will go to hell.
