>>17824464 (OP)My understanding is that it's continued disbelief. The way I've been taught, hell isn't actually a place. It's separation from God. God is omnipresent so separation from God is... Nonexistence. Human souls have an expiration date. When you die, it's nothing. What atheists believe happen when you die is literally hell. God offers eternal life, through reunion with him as a way to live forever, that's heaven.His only requirement for that, is to sincerely believe in him, including his presence on earth as Christ, and his death and resurrection. That's the requirement for salvation. The only requirement, by faith alone. No works. Because if you truly believed in God, and were aware of his commandments and teachings, you'd follow them. Why wouldn't you? Good works are a result of true faith, not a requirement but a natural byproduct of faith and salvation. People who continue to beseech God, don't truly believe in him. People make mistakes surely, but if they repent, that's a sign of faith in God and his power. That faith is salvation, regardless of acts.
The only way to truly die, is to not believe in God and act accordingly with that belief. If you believe in God, you'll be good, and you'll be forgiven for your sins, and escape your natural human fate of death. You'll live forever with God until the new kingdom on is established and you get a new body to live again physically.
Christianity is simple idk why people complicate it
