What would be the point of Christ's sacrifice and the Grace of God that he brought to us all if we are all going to die and go to hell?
There is nothing you can do to earn the gift of Grace. Nothing. Yet it is available to All.
Thanks for asking so that I could answer. Have a good day.

These are human made Old Testament laws and do not determine salvation! For the Hasidic Jew, this is correct... Not the Christian.

Good thread, very entertaining. None of the verses you cite mention hell as a consequence.

Oh, I see, so is this a clever game based on a misunderstanding and designed to inform deluded Christians that they are going to go to hell based on the teachings in their own beloved book? Is that it? Than 50 pts for me. Yay!
"Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says." (1 Corinthians 14:34)
"Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering." (1 Corinthians 11:13-15)
But if ... evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deuteronomy 22:20,21)
43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the congregation of the Lord." (Deuteronomy 23:2)

There is actually a point of contention there that needs to be dealt with. Can you go and scrap up any quotes from either of the books that you have presented quotes from wherein Jesus identifies God by name?
