Jesus Christ, in the Bible, says who is going to hell and who is not. God, in John 3:16, also says it;

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that all who believed in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have eternal life.

Men cannot say who is or is not condemned, but men can understand who God determines by reading His Word. Men can say whether they themselves are going to Hell by choosing either to, or not to, believe in the risen Christ.

But you knew that.

Pass the barbecue sauce, please.

Dude - it's not what I knew, its what YOU DON'T KNOW....

...like what is in someone's heart...

...lemme give you an example: the ex-psycho I have referred to even threw stones at Ronald Reagan (when I expressed a bit TOO MUCH admiration for him, the knives came out to cut me back down - "of course you know that he's not a Christian!")

Of course I knew even then that RR did not wear his faith on his sleeve, but LIVED it....as many other people figured out after his death when the stories of his devout faith - as demonstrated in his life and private letters became more widely known...

but way back in 1994, this 'perfect Christian' woman was willing to consign RR to h*ll based on her own prejudices about him....

as I've said before - LIVE your faith...and don't try to rave on about who's going to h*ll and who's not, because...unless you have a direct link to the mind of God...YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR HEARTS AND THEREFORE YOU CANNOT MAKE SUCH STATEMENTS WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE MY EX...

...and I'm reasonably sure that you're (probably) NOT a violent undiagnosed psychotic like her...
