B and yes. I would have added a C) All True Christians should... *scribbles in pencil* lol ;)

A)  No.  I don't want to.  Not anymore.

B)  I could if it seemed reasonable at all.  But since were being asked to use reason, no, I couldn't.

But a truly committed Christian would, if they were sold on the faith.  This is the crux of what sets Christianity apart from other faiths.  Not just the love of God, but the promise of God to punish non-Christians eternally in hell.

@NaitoOfNarnia - love.  what seems unreasonable is loving all of your creation, but sending 99.9 % of everyone who has ever lived in the history of the earth, to burn eternally in hell.  and knowing they are there for eternity.  they ones you created and love are there burning and you love them.  that's all.

but I'm not a Christian, so I'm not sold on it all.

@plantinthewindow - I understand the seeming contradiction you express.
But see, God warned us from the start what would happen. He loved us and warned us so that we could make a wise choice.

@NaitoOfNarnia - If obeying him involves believing in something that I think is irrational, illogical, and utterly absurd and going to hell if I don't, yes, I think that's cruel. And to be blunt, I think it's a really shitty way to determine worthiness for heaven.

Consider: An atheist devotes his life to helping the poor. He goes to hell. A man goes on a serial spree and converts to Christianity the night before he is executed. He goes to heaven.

I consider the qualifier for going to heaven to be really unfair.

@TheThinkingPerson - If that's how the case really was, I'd totally agree with you. It would suck, entirely. But, see, that's what Jesus died for. Because, regardless of the good or bad we've done...none of that is important (not in the End). The reason being because we've all fallen short of God's perfect standard. It's not about the amount of good we've done, but if we'd lived perfectly. Clearly, we have not. None of us.

Because Jesus did live perfectly, He paid that price that we deserve. ALL of us deserve Hell. In God's grace and mercy, God transferred our punishment onto Christ and, if we accept Him as Lord and follow His leading, gives us His perfection. It's basically a direct trade.

This is why the Bible makes it clear that we do not go to Heaven based on our works. I explain why here...you should check it out if you like. Are you sure that such a trade is illogical and irrational? We owe a debt that we cannot pay, and Jesus pays the debt for us so that we may live.
None of us are worthy of Heaven. So that's not in question. But God's love for us is unending, and that's evident through Christ's sacrifice. Wouldn't you say?

@NaitoOfNarnia - it's not really a big deal to me.  I left because I don't agree with the premise, and decided I don't believe in the whole thing, the whole scenario.  of course you know faith is believing what doesn't make sense to the mind, or what one has no proof of - so one has to have faith.  I understand that.  I just decided to use reason.  using reason, to me no religion makes any true sense.

using reasonable thinking, I don't see it as a potential reality.  I think there is a spiritual realm.  I know plenty of people who have had various encounters that let me know that something is there.  we are spiritual, in physical bodies.  I think so.  but I don't believe it, I don't put my money on it because I can't prove it.  I simply love myself, love people, love life.  Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

@NaitoOfNarnia - well, it's a matter of semantics, yes.  but, no, before I saw your post, I didn't know you existed.  and I didn't care.  now that I meet you, I know.  but you're presenting a belief system which doesn't make sense to me.  there may be a god.  whoever it is, it's possible that he/she/they/it is just as Christianity presents.  if this is so, I don't consider it a god worth worshiping or serving.  for basically the same reasoning I've already discussed.  I do consider that there may be many god-like beings who exist out there.  perhaps innumerable ones.  but one who describes himself as having human emotions such as anger, or jealousy, or causing one tribe of people to completely wipe-out another tribe of people - it may be what the being wanted to happen for it's own reasons, but it's not a god worth worshiping.  it's a being who does and feels what humans do and feel.  in my reasoning, that is.

While I don't like the idea of people going to hell for all eternity to suffer, I accept it.  If I choose not to believe that isn't going to magically make it untrue & nonexistent.  Besides, it isn't like I'm missing out on anything worthwhile by believing in God & the Bible & following them to the best of my ability.  To me, the things God prohibits in this life make sense to me usually.  I can see how not following them would have natural consequences & God is simply trying to save us hurt & heart ache of experiencing those consequences ourselves out of love.  I can see how the things he promotes, while sometimes they may not be our first choice of action, can enrich our lives & help us as people.  So I choose to have faith even through the times when I question things or wonder about it all. 

Let me sum it up this way.  I see the promise God holds for those who love him.  I see there are no promises here on Earth with mankind, only more heartache & pain.  I'll take my chances & cast my lot with God.  I don't feel I can go wrong with that choice. 

I don't think it is about whether I "could" believe in a God Who created hell. Since Jesus spoke more of hell than He did of heaven, it looks like if I believe in Him, I must believe in hell. I guess it comes down to whether I *want* to know Christ as He is, or whether I *want* to make Christ into something I like better. The search for truth must not begin with boundaries. 

This shows a fairly standard misunderstanding of Heaven and Hell, one that you will observe pretty commonly among people who claim to have studied the words of God their entire lives.  God never said he was going to "send" anyone to Hell or punish someone for failing to be Christian.  He described a place where people who don't know God spend their eternities and another place where people who pursue a knowledge of God spend their eternities.  It may sound like a subtle difference, but it isn't.  Read these two sentences and tell me the difference:

1) Anyone who refuses to get on the train will be punished with an eternity at the station. 2) Anyone who fails to get on the train will be left at the station and will never get to where the train is going.  It's entirely up to you whether you get on the train or not, but, let me tell ya, the station really really sucks compared to where the train is going.

It's amazing how much of a mess people can make out of what they think the Bible says. Justice and mercy are as mysterious as God's sovereignty and human free will.

@MyTwoCentss - Makes perfect sense to me, and I agree.
