Seattle:Christians, do you believe most people are going to hell? If so why? If not, why not?
I don't have any specific understanding of hell. I'm more interested in the many ways that the Bible suggests one could one to go there. It seems that there as so many different way that many everyone would end up going there is the Bible is correct.
I'm not aware of hell that isn't literal. When hell isn't literal it's not hell nor is it a threat. When there is no threat there is no need for hell.

If no one ends up there of what purpose is the threat of hell?
I'm sure you are right however. No one is going to end up in Heaven or Hell.

I am interested. I'm not a believer but I'm interested in the thinking. It seems to me from reading the Bible that there are so many commandments that if broken will make one wind up in hell that if seems to me that everyone would wind up in hell.Seattle, I think this thread of your is close to trolling. I don't believe you have any interest in theology or the various interpretations that have been put on the concept of hell. I think you are just looking for something to confirm your pre-existing, shallow ideas and to make fun of Christians with. It was the same with the silly thread you started about Deuteronomy.
If I thought you were genuine, I would be quite interested in discussing hell. But I don't.

I'm interested in learning where I'm wrong, if I am.
Nobody, including the wicked, will end up in literal hellfire torment--based upon the Scriptures.
Well what do you thank hell is accordin to the Scriptures... a separation from God.???

According to Scripture, hell is nothing more than mankind's common grave.

According to the Scriptures, mankind is already separated from God/Life (spiritual death). Upon physical death, one is confirmed in that state of separation/spiritual death for eternity.

I'm guessing he is referring to mankinds predicament after Adam ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and if one doesn't accept Christ. In that case they will go to the Lake of Fire for eternity.Photizo:
Where, in Scripture, does it say all of mankind is presently in "spiritual death"? Please quote a couple of verses where such is indicated. Be sure and provide Bible book, chapter, and verse.

Cluelusshusbund:Ok... so do you thank most people are goin to heaven or just die an stay dead.???Cluelusshusbund: According to Scripture, hell is nothing more than mankind's common grave. The word hell is equivalent to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades and the English words the grave.
