Where do soul go if a person has other belief? For example, his religion might be Buddhism, Shintoism, pagan and so on... or let us say, he might be a protestant, Mormons, Adventist and so on. There are millions of religions around the world, what if that person is not a christian? He is a Buddhism or he is a Shintoism or he is a Pagan... Where do his soul go? Let us say that he is innocent about christian beliefs... where do his soul go? Is it hell or heaven?

You never have to worry about hell. God could never do without one as wonderful as you. God is Unconditional Love. He isn't going to do without any of His children. If God can create universes, He can handle a few wayward kidsNo problem. Just send a few more lessons.

The old testament is filled with cases of people - men, women, children - who either didn't believe in god, or whose parents didn't believe in god, so god ensured that all of them were raped, slaughtered, or mauled by bears (2 Kings 2:23-24). You believe in an evil, insecure god, and he has no time for those who don't worship him.

MASSIVE interpretation there. Jupiter is right. Just look at the FIRST commandment! THAT says it ALL right there. And READ the text and you will really be shocked.

Depends on who you are asking. I believe everyone goes to hell, because hell is nothing more than the grave in my beliefs. Others believe that yes you would some others believe that you go to purgatory until the day of judgment and than you will have a chance to learn truth from lies.

It is becoming to where no one is innocent of Christian beliefs, so no one will have an "I didn't know" excuse. So yeah, I strongly believe that his soul would go to hell..

Really? I prefer the one where one woman is responsible for all the evils in the world and a man is ordered to have dominion over his wife. I particularly like that one verse, "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says."

i really don't know as their is so many religions with so many beliefs. who needs organized religion when people can think for themselves. when i'm at my most peaceful without any distractions or interference that is where my beliefs are based. the thought of hell is not in my mind at that time.

I personally don't believe in any Relgion organized or otherwise or any sacred text as placing a "sacred" or words of "God" label on them makes it more than a regular piece or text written by man. The text itself is generally flawed and filled with contradictions and half truths. And the worst part is it is almost always "interpreted" by people who believe they can "understand" God's will. It is generally twisted, sometimes to a more palatable meaning or they never mention certain sections in hopes no one read it, but still twisted to suit a purpose. Like a rape victim must marry her rapist if her father wishes it or he must pay the father for "defiling" his "property" I personally believe in E=mc^2. Basically energy can never disappear and we ARE energy, so our "souls" are immortal.

God judges the heart not the religion, you said this person is innocent right. so if he is innocent, God won't condemn him to eternal punishment. I think God is good and fair and is a loving god. Knowing God's characteristics, He allowed these things to happen for a functional purpose that only He can comprehend. We're mere human beings. We cannot question the Supreme Being's plan and authority.

I believe in the saying that GOD is one. He is supreme and that is what every faith says. If your belief is so (that GOD is supreme) then it doesn't really matter whether you are Christian, Buddhist etc. Remember that religion is for men only and God is apart from these divisions...
