God is inviting you to the paradise. He wants that the one who
believes in His only son, Jesus, would have eternal life. Jesus died
for our sins so that we could live forever after death. Believe in
Jesus, confess your sins to Him and take Him as your saviour. Your
life will turn into good direction if you do so. Try and you won't
regret never. Jesus is the only gate to the heaven.
Or else you can go to hell?
Some outrageously mentally corrupt, fantasy, belief you have there.
Hello,
If by "hell" you are meaning the popular 'hellfire' teaching, no, the
Bible does not teach of such a sadistic place. Even some common sense
should tell a person that anyone claiming to be full of "love" (1 Jo
4:8), would not lower to torture. For sane people, 'Love' and
'torture' are not brothers. On the contrary, they are mortal enemies.
Why, even just the concept of burning alive living humans, NEVER EVEN
ENTERED GOD'S MIND. That Bible principle is stated at Jer 7:31,
"They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben
Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire--something I did
not command, nor did it enter my mind." (NIV)
True, the Bible at places mentions a type of fire where people are
tossed into it. But the context etc shows that this fire is not
literal, but symbolic. (more details on this topic if you are
interested)
Sincerely, James
