Discussion: Will you go to hell for fornication? (sex before marriage)

My belief is that as long as you are, generally, a good person, you go to Heaven.
I think God created us knowing that we weren't perfect; hence why Jesus died for our sins.

Thats what I'm saying. It's kind of unfair though, most people aren't educated on things related to the bible, so going to hell for eternity is kind of extreme.

Even if you're educated on the passages of the bible doesn't mean you won't do something. Like I know it says not to eat shellfish, but that won't stop me from eating it whenever I have the option to.

It's funny because this lady came through my work's drive-thru and gave us a church brochure on a comic about how a man did a "few" sins/mistakes in life, yet told God he lived a pretty damn good life overall and God casted him into Hell for those "few" sins even though he lived 95% of a good life.
It's also funny because one of my co-workers was like this brochure is basically saying we are all going to Hell, because the man in the comic asked for forgiveness but God didn't care and casted him into Hell for looking at another woman in a lusting way.
I told my co-worker, Religion is bogus, well the bible is, because to live a "perfect" life like it says, you have to live in a cave and stare at a wall. Pretty much he agreed. I read on the internet that the bible was actually referring to a certain group of people and that the bible doesn't necessarily mean it's for us all. Like if you want to become a priest or something, you have to obey by these rules?
I have a question for God. Why create mankind if you can't live up to your own mistakes, because God created this world. I believe in God, but I don't believe in the bible, end of story.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE A PERFECT LIFE WITHOUT SIN. NOT EVEN THOSE CHURCH GO'ERS WHO HAND OUT THOSE BROCHURES TO RANDOM PEOPLE, THEY HAVE THEIR SINS AND FLAWS.
God loves us all.

The only hell we'll be seeing (and technically we won't even see it) is the inside of a coffin.

However you shouldn't yourself in those type of situations. So you're right, ti just not as easy for others as it is for some.

Yep. Even watching **** is considered fornication. It's not impossible to control who you sleep with, it's your body .. your an adult, but living in this day & age it's definitely not easy. Especially with the media, **** sites, etc.

Have you ever thought about the theory that only the New Testament is for those of us on Earth, and that the Old Testament is actually for angels?
That's actually my current belief.
God wouldn't create humans and expect them to be perfect, knowing full-well that they are quite imperfect.

It's impossible for a human to say they are perfect. God knew we were human with hearts, not robots, but obviously if you are going out of your way to sin, you should know what's coming...

The same book that calls homosexuality an 'abomination' also calls eating shellfish and mixing fabrics 'abominations' as well.

Take the time to actually Read the bible and maybe you'll find out. I agree to some extend but that's no excuse to live however you want knowing you'll always be forgiven. If you know what's right from wrong in gods eyes why consciously commits the sin over and over again? That's like taking advantage of with god & his grace & mercy.
