What's said above is somewhat funny but true, while God doesn't want me to go I'll serve him here on earth, for what I'm doing in life right now I know He wants me to do, and there's no greater joy here on earth than to be in God's will.
Captain, as far as the muslims and buddhists are concerned, I am convinved that they won't be going to the places you mentioned. That's my opinion I believe strongly.
Canadian_Rugby_Guy, I aggree with you mostly. Everyone can change, can be saved, God wants everyone saved, God loves everyone and wants them back, yes, sin leads you away from God(that's how it all started, and later on lead to the Great Flood, no-one bothered anymore except for Noah), if you don't make Him the most important factor in your life you will perish, those who go to hell go because of their own choices. But, don't wait untill judgement day to change, that will be to late to start thinking about changing. Changing is for right now! God will take an account for how you lived! And each one of us could be taken away from this life any second, and then take eternal consequences!
As for the Tsunami and revelations, well, we are talking about an increase in natuaral disasters in the end-times of this age. We all were showed just how fragile we are, God reminds some people more than others about the reality of death, that we are all destined for it someday and need to sort out our lives. God lets you die in all sorts of ways, and it is his decision. Whether it's from a Tsunamii, cancer or car-accident, it's all the same. If your on the right path to Him, death is only the start of a wonderfull life in eternity, what could be better.
all in all, God is full of grace and mercy, he wants you to be saved!
Eternity guys, think about it.
It's worth it!
