Do so-called “good people” go to Hell?

Depends on what your definition of “good” is, I suppose. Never met one, actually.

The Scriptures plainly declare that there are no good people and that all the children of Adam and Eve are children of deceit and sinners against God, the best of us are still sinners by birth, from the womb of the fallen race. God sent His only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, born under the Jewish law, even Jesus Christ, the anointed one of God, to be our Sin Sacrifice and He became our Saviour after rising from the dead and is the Firstbegotten from the dead to everlasting life in the body of flesh, as He was sinless and death could not hold Him.

Jesus said ‘no man is good but God’.

Everything He said is true.

The Jews were self-righteous because they thought the “bar” that God wanted man to perform to was the 10 Commandments.

But God looks at the heart, not the outward - so Jesus spoke the Sermon on the Mount - where He said, in essence, “You thought the bar was here....(10 commandments), but since God sees the heart, the real bar is here: ‘if any man look at a woman with lust, he is guilty of adultery; if any man hate his brother, he is guilty of murder.”

With the bar being that God sees the heart - we all are guilty sinners, whose only hope is to fall on our faces before a holy, righteous and loving God and cry out for forgiveness - because He gave His Son for us, whose shed blood cleanses us from all sin, and Who is our only righteousness......

I never did either, but I heard about one: my wife's first husband.
