God Is Unfair! by demelza: 7:14am On Dec 06, 2013
I checked some online forums and saw some people saying Nelson Mandela would go to hell because he died a Buddhist. As a christian I understand that Jesus is the only way to heaven but.....
Can any christian here make me understand why inspite of his numerous good works on earth, our loving God will still have the heart to send such a person to hell just because he never knew Jesus?
Cant he grant some type of waiver?
Cant he at least look at the good Nelson did for his people and take that into consideration?
It looks so unfair and almost wicked. sad

You want to make yourself believe that you're a fool and not very sensible. No one is in the position to say who goes to hell or heaven. What are you to even query God? You better start thinking well before you lose your senseless brain. Our God is never wicked or unfair. He does what he feels and anything he does is very right.

Well,what do you expect? If we go by what the Bible say,then you have the answer. According to the Bible,our good work can't save us,no matter who we are. Even if we are praised all over the world for our acts of charity and good work,and yet,we don't know and have Christ as our Lord and Saviour,there is no way we can make Heaven. Talking about granting waiver,God isn't a partial God. He is an impartial God. If he should show favour to a particular person because of that person's good work,then it's expected that he would show the same favour to thousands of other people with good work and charity. And if that should happen,it would over-ride the Biblical teaching and doctrine of Jesus Christ being the only way to Heaven. God is a righteous God and all his standard and judgements reflect his righteousness. He can't bend his standard to favor a particular person.

This is what I feared! I guess that leads to me asking why he even created hell? Why include humans in the punishment meant for the devil? Why not just destroy them at once instead of continual torment that will last forever?
The thought of someone like Mandela in hell is heartbreaking.

Please nobody should insult the OP for being realistic, It kinda gives me a sagging spirit too, some great people, who are not christians would go to hell (Mahatma Gandhi inclusive)... And honestly if all the "May his soul RIP" prayers were to count, he should be in heaven...

Damn how do people reason! The fact that Mandela didn't practice your religion doesn't mean he will be subjected to eternal torture in flames of fire.

What sort of people believe and worship a tyrant who condemns billions of people(including saviours like mandela) to hell because they didn't believe in his zombie son.

The depravity and stupidi.ty of the religious mind never ceases to amaze me.

God equates those deeds to filthy rags, the only thing that matters is one believing in his son.
While its sad, that is God's standard.

What can I say? It doesn't appear that we mean the same thing when either of us says "Christian". Maybe it's that "subjectivity" thing. *shrugs*
