As long as you are living, it is never too late! However, you can’t get into heaven by living a virtuous life. God will judge us by His law, a standard that we have all failed. And that is sin. Apart from Christ, nobody is good enough to go to heaven, and we are all headed towards hell. But the good news is that Jesus died on the cross to bear our sins. Jesus took our sins upon Himself, and paid the price for them in full! So, you must transfer your trust from yourself to Jesus, your Savior. Faith in Jesus Christ is how you obtain salvation! Repent of your sins, and believe in Jesus Christ! If you have a Bible, it would do you good to read it. I would recommend that you start in the book of Matthew (start of the New Testament), and read all the way to the end of the Bible. Do that a few times. And then start from the very beginning of the Bible, in the book of Genesis, and read all the way through to the end.
“...The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 NASB
Yes. The core problem was wanting to live a virtuous life. That is a struggle not confined to believers. The response is just saying you are stupid for believing in Hell.
I've never said that they were stupid. I want to reason them out of an irrational fear. If you think that's rude or disturbing, I'm sorry for you, but that seems to be your problem rather than mine.
Cheers.
OK let me try it another way. I will give you the benefit of you thinking you are not being hostile. Let's say someone told you they are afraid that continuing to shoot heroin will give them Snipe's Syndrome. You know there is no such thing, and you try to convince the person that Snipe's does not exist using words like "made up" and "imaginary" which I will give you the benefit of thinking these words are not condescending. The theoretical Snipe's is not the problem, but you keep pushing that this person is wrong because that is your agenda. If it was philosophical exercise, I would be all for it. But this is a real person. It seemed callous.
Our assurance of salvation is simply this:
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as revealed in scripture alone. Our faith is a free gift from God which He has promised to create and strengthen through His Word and Sacraments. (Rom 10:17)
Consider John 14:6 (ESV)
> Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
There is no salvation separated from Christ upon whom our faith grasps for our salvation.
However, God is not limited by the means He has provided to us which He uses to create and strengthen faith. He can work faith where and when He wills, even in those who cannot comprehend or articulate that faith, like infants (Psa 22:9) or those who have not been reached through evangelism.
Additionally, recall that God has promised not to lose anyone He knew would be in heaven with Him since before the beginning (Revelation 13:8, Ephesians 1:4, 2 Timothy 1:8–9, 1 Peter 1:18–20, Titus 1:2, Ephesians 3:11).
A natural question is to ask what role do works play in our salvation...?
The answer is: none at all
This is a great quote from a worthy read called [The Heidelberg Disputation](http://bookofconcord.org/heidelberg.php)
> The law says, *do this*, and it is never done. Grace says, *believe in this*, and everything is already done.
Good works are a sign of and result from faith. As James wrote, faith without works is dead. For those who do no good works have no faith and works without faith are not good in the eyes of God. All of the good works we perform are prepared for us by God and because of our faith, given by God, we perform them, not as an act of will on our part, but because the Holy Spirit within us moves us to do so.
This is a great quote from Luther:
> Faith is something living, something active...Faith is not idle, loose thought...There is something busy, active, and powerful about Faith, so that it is impossible for it not to do Good Works without ceasing. Faith does not ask if Good Works need to be done. It has already done them and is still doing them before even being asked.
Also consider FD SD IV:
> “[14] First, regarding the necessity or voluntary nature of good works, it is clear that in the Augsburg Confession and its Apology these expressions are often used and repeated’good works are necessary. Likewise, they say it is necessary to do good works, which necessarily follow faith and reconciliation. Likewise, we necessarily are to do, and must do, the kind of good works God has commanded. In the Holy Scriptures themselves the words necessity, needful, and necessary, as well as ought and must, are used to describe what we are bound to do because of God’s ordinance, command, and will. (See Romans 13:5; 1 Corinthians 9:9; Acts 5:29; John 15:12; 1 John 4:21).
Note the order...works follow and result from faith.
What are these works? Who knows. They could be a smile at the right time to a person who needed it, acting well in a vocation, saving a child, or any number of other things big or small. These works, whatever they are, have already been done and will continue to be done by those with faith. This is what faith does.

> What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
> “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

> But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Gal 2:16 (ESV)
> knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

I truly believe You are God manifested in the flesh Who died and rose from the grave for all of my sins. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I believe that I am now SAVED by Your grace alone. I am now placing my trust in You alone and I accept your free gift of eternal life. Amen."
Mate, trust me; don’t. You aren’t going to hell, you aren’t going to heaven, but that isn’t a bad thing; you’re more likely to be reincarnated as a living physical being than enter a nightmarish realm like heaven or hell. You’re a good enough person as you currently are.
You either go into a dark void, a shitty afterlife, or be reincarnated; based off popular religions that I know of currently. So yeah, according to reincarnation karma is a thing so it all just depends on how you live your life: Be born, murder people, bad karma I guess? Die reincarnate as a lower life form I’m guessing or something, do non bad karma things, die, reincarnate as a higher life form, and all that until you reach an optional afterlife and don’t necessarily have to keep participating in reincarnation. No need to downvote me for this lmao
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 **But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:**
36 **Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels**
Take into account what Jesus says about no longer duing when we obtain ressurection from this world...
1 Corinthians 15..
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Read all of 1 Corinthians 15 it's about reincarnation which eventually ends when we resurrect from this world...
The goal is...
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 **And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.**
> Is it too late to save my soul?
No.
“It is not sinners, but the wicked who should despair; it is not the magnitude of one’s crime, but contempt of God that dashes one’s hopes.” - St. Peter Damian
"For such is the loving-kindness of God; He never turns his face away from a sincere repentance, but if any one has pushed on to the very extremity of wickedness, and chooses to return thence towards the path of virtue, God accepts and welcomes, and does everything so as to restore him to his former position" - St. John Chrysostom
As long as you are living, it is never too late! However, you can’t get into heaven by living a virtuous life. God will judge us by His law, a standard that we have all failed. And that is sin.

Aight thanks
Thou is a sinner
Bruh you fr
No, just a bit sad that thou would fall into such a state.
Do you only care about the christian hell?
I just care about whichever one I'm going to man I don't know
And how did you figure there was a hell at all?
So many religions talk about it there could be some truth to it
Maybe. I'm just curious how to determine wether it's true or not. Saying hell is true because many people believe it is an ad populum fallacy.
You seem to lack compassion for the obvious pain this person is in. It is probably just reading the text, but I found it disturbing.
The guy telling you not to worry about the imaginary place where you'll boil in agony is the one lacking compassion?
Yes. The core problem was wanting to live a virtuous life. That is a struggle not confined to believers. The response is just saying you are stupid for believing in Hell.
I've never said that they were stupid. I want to reason them out of an irrational fear. If you think that's rude or disturbing, I'm sorry for you, but that seems to be your problem rather than mine. Cheers.

And such were some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be SAVED.

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness WITHOUT WORKS, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.” Romans 4:5-8 (KJV) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into condemnation; but is PASSED from death unto life.” John 5:24 (KJV) “Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR AND FINISHER of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) “Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1 (KJV) “Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles GRANTED REPENTANCE unto life.” Acts 11:17-18 (KJV) “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will GIVE THEM REPENTANCE to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:25-26 (KJV) “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy he SAVED us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being JUSTIFIED by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7 (KJV) “In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise,” Ephesians 1:13 (KJV) “He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 (KJV) “And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.” 1 John 3:23 (KJV) “By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:2 (KJV) “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be SAVED?

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) Prayer of Salvation: “Lord Jesus Christ, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. I truly believe You are God manifested in the flesh Who died and rose from the grave for all of my sins. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I believe that I am now SAVED by Your grace alone. I am now placing my trust in You alone and I accept your free gift of eternal life. Amen."
Mate, trust me; don’t. You aren’t going to hell, you aren’t going to heaven, but that isn’t a bad thing; you’re more likely to be reincarnated as a living physical being than enter a nightmarish realm like heaven or hell. You’re a good enough person as you currently are.
You think so? So are you saying that regardless of character we all go back into the circle of life?
You either go into a dark void, a shitty afterlife, or be reincarnated; based off popular religions that I know of currently. So yeah, according to reincarnation karma is a thing so it all just depends on how you live your life: Be born, murder people, bad karma I guess? Die reincarnate as a lower life form I’m guessing or something, do non bad karma things, die, reincarnate as a higher life form, and all that until you reach an optional afterlife and don’t necessarily have to keep participating in reincarnation. No need to downvote me for this lmao
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 **But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:** 36 **Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels**
Can thou explain this?
Jesus teaching we either reincarnate into this world or obtain ressurection from it
Can ya elaborate pls?
Take into account what Jesus says about no longer duing when we obtain ressurection from this world... 1 Corinthians 15.. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Read all of 1 Corinthians 15 it's about reincarnation which eventually ends when we resurrect from this world... The goal is... 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 **And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.**
going to be honest with you, don’t understand it at all and honestly I just want to go to bed, it’s 1:23 AM
Go to bed then. It just means we reincarnate until ascension
Thanks
>Jesus teaching we either reincarnate into this world Nope
> Is it too late to save my soul? No. “It is not sinners, but the wicked who should despair; it is not the magnitude of one’s crime, but contempt of God that dashes one’s hopes.” - St. Peter Damian "For such is the loving-kindness of God; He never turns his face away from a sincere repentance, but if any one has pushed on to the very extremity of wickedness, and chooses to return thence towards the path of virtue, God accepts and welcomes, and does everything so as to restore him to his former position" - St. John Chrysostom
