Christianity requires that you accept the reign of Jesus in your life. If you reject that reign, you will go to the place where He does not reign. It will be your choice. I'm just curious why you would make that choice? What has that place got that Heaven hasn't got?

The arrogance in your reply answers the rhetorical question of this thread.

Why would anyone concern themselves with heaven or hell until there is proof that either exists?

I will make you a millionaire. All you have to do is send me 10% of your money and have faith. If you do not become a millionaire it is because you did not send me the money or you did not have enough faith.

Honestly, don't you find that argument a bit weak?

Even if I add the argument that if you do not send me your money and have enough faith then you will spend eternity burning in a lake of fire the argument is still weak.

Especially if I cannot show you a lake of fire with someone in it burning.

You seem to have a problem with preachers. I have never met anyone who has charged me to show me heaven or hell. I have met some crooks who have tried to convince me they can make me rich without me working, and some have even been Christians. But I learned to ignore them when I was a child.

I'm not claiming anything. G-d is claiming there is a heaven and a hell. And G-d can prove it. He has done so to me and He will do so to you.

For what it's worth, I don't preach a Christianity that is simply an entrance ticket into Heaven. The banquet is a personal relationship with G-d. That's what Christianity offers. That's all it offers. And it offers it for eternity. If you don't want it, you won't be forced to receive it.

But G-d is there and knowable right now. Not after you die, right now. He is not far off, he is knocking on the door of your heart.

Open your heart.

Shalom.
