The Bible says all non-Christians go to Hell, and that Hell is forever (John 14:6, 2 Thessalonians 1:9), and many scholars believe that Hell is eternal conscious suffering.
Make sure you get you Judgment-Ready by believing in Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38-39)
This is a strange situation, given a perfectly good God, especially given that, for no fault of their own, a person can rationally disbelieve Christianity and believe another religion. There is no evidence in the Christian tradition strong enough to rationally compel belief.
Augustine declared: ‘Let no one promise infants who have not been baptized a sort of middle place of happiness between damnation and Heaven, for this is what the Pelagian heresy promised them’ (The Soul and Its Origin, Patrologiae Latinae, Migne, 44:475). St. Augusitine and many early fathers held that unbaptized infants go to Hell.
All religion exists due to the egotistical, unrealistic self-importance of humans. "I'm a special animal who will survive death." Just have faith. You know what faith is, right? Faith is the belief in something without proof. Do you believe in the magical, omnipotent creator of the universe who made the sun, moon and stars in the blink of an eye and then spent the next 6 days creating birds, fish and animals according to the jewish authors from 2,000 years ago? That's a good goy.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
That sounds like justified sin. Don't be an idiot,your a coward that can't yield to the greater power. EXACTLY WHY YOUR LIFE IS THE SHIT STORM IT IS. Deny to confirm.
That was addressed to ancient Israelites under Moses, just like the animal sacrifices in verse 5 above it. Part of the ceremonial and performative rules that are not part of Christianity. Our sacrifice is Christ and our covering and garments are Christ, those rules are relevant to Christians as context showing that even the ceremonial parts of Old Testament law represented salvation by Christ, and a ton of other things like that while we no longer sacrifice animals God still asks some sacrificing from us, like giving His will precedence over our own.
And consider the mixed fabric thing, seems totally arbitrary doesn't it? But there have been some pretty credible studies done on the physiological effects when people sleep on pure linen beddings vs mixed fabric and it effects their mood and overall health in surprising ways, you can literally google it.
I understand that for an unsaved person without the Holy Spirit granting them discernment that the fact that no-longer-required performative and ceremonial laws are mixed in the text with moral laws can be really confusing. But we're not even under the moral laws, they too are an example, and breaking them cannot send someone who has been "born again" to hell, though doing so will have other negative consequences. Just like wearing mixed fabrics has consequences, though much worse, and neither will send a regenerate person to hell as "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
Near death experiences are interesting to me. Had family members who've had them, but not myself.
Seems you get one of three options:
- out of body: you get to see firsthand what happens after you leave your meatsuit. People tend to relay that its warm, sometimes the "bright light". Situations like children severely beaten or accidentally drowning can come with the chance of "choosing life" over going to the light.
- void: others tell of a dark infinite emptiness. No sound, no light, just their being floating off into the void.
- Hell: some see demons and fire...when they come back they tend to be the ones who "turn it around".
I can see the void for Atheists and Hell for those who deserve it.
Yea, it's amazing what your mind can create and experience when it's literally shutting down and dying or suffering a critical lack of oxygen to function sufficiently. Almost like when kids would purposely hyperventilate and knock themselves out to trip out while coming back to consciousness.
The more a people wants to live forever is to avoid the ultimate fate of suffering at their deaths. They never go peacefully, and that suffering goes to the descendants.

The Anti-Christ (in other words the Against-Jesus people; the Jews) will be punished.
A Jew is a Jew because they reject Jesus as the Messiah. The Jews are the Anti-Christ.
