†. 1Cor 16:22 . . If anyone love not the Lord, let him be accursed.

Love for the Bible's Christ is measured in accordance with one's compliance
with his teachings.

†. John 14:23-24 . . If anyone loves me, he will keep my word . . . he who
does not love me does not keep my words

Steve Jobs' religion of choice was Buddhism; a spiritual philosophy invented
by a man named Siddhartha Guatama; a.k.a. the Buddha; which is a rub
because according to the testimony of the Bible's Christ as an expert witness
in all matters pertaining to the hereafter: one's choice of spiritual master is
what ultimately decides everybody's fate.

†. John 14:6 . . Jesus said unto him: I am the path, and the truth; no man
comes unto the Father but by me.

Steve Jobs' chosen path was not Christ. He chose instead Siddhartha
Guatama's Four Nobel Truths ( a.k.a. Pativedhanana) which, in a nutshell,
are life-instructions for escaping Samsara-- defined as a potentially never
ending cycle of rebirths commonly known as reincarnation.

Siddhartha Guatama believed that when someone is reborn, the person does
not come back because in Buddhism there is no soul that continues to exist
beyond the demise of one's organic body; ergo: the original self, that once
lived; no longer exists after death.

Siddhartha Guatama's reincarnation is not a resurrection; but rather; a
rearrangement of the karmic matter that was once a particular individual.
Simply put, "karmic matter" is like the pieces and parts that go into
assembling a chariot; which when dismantled, the pieces and parts can be
utilized to construct some other conveyance; with very possibly another
gender too; which means that if Steve Jobs is back among us as rearranged
karma; then he/she just might be a little Indonesian baby girl destined to
work for peanuts in one of Phil Knight's offshore Nike sweat shops making
athletic shoes and sports apparel selling for big bucks to Chinese consumers.
Or he could even now be a baby fur seal about to get its head bashed in by
an Inuit hunter.

Belief in reincarnation is a very grave threat to Siddhartha Guatama's
followers because the Lord's resurrection is one of the essential elements of
Christianity that must be accepted in order to escape the wrath of God.
(1Cor 15:1-4)

Christians are often reluctant to judge unbelievers like Steve Jobs and they
typically cite Mtt 7:1-5 for an excuse. But Paul isn't asking Christians to
critique Steve Jobs' conduct; no, he's demanding that Christians regard
people as condemned to hell for following Siddhartha Guatama instead of
Christ-- and this is not an option: it's an order.

†. 1Cor 14:37 . . If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let
him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the
commandments of the Lord.

†. 1Ths 4:1-2 . .We beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord
Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please
God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments
we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

Steve Jobs was a very wealthy and succsessful man,popular,talented...he had it all....its hard to have it all and beleive you need anything else and there is little use in specualtion about his current location....those who reject the gospel doom themselves to hell,if he rejected it to the bitter end his end was indeed bitter.

I do not think it is up to us to judge those who have recently passed
on or who were not overly evil and/or nefarious people

It really isn't necessary for somebody to be either overly evil or nefarious in
order to qualify for incarceration in hell-- the reason being that hell is the
default. In other words: in order to qualify for hell; all that somebody needs
to do is be born.

I once heard a story about a preacher who was asked by a young inquirer
what he had to do to go to hell. The preacher answered: Nothing. Just bide
your time and you'll get there because hell is automatic-- heaven is optional.

According to the Bible; Christ died for the whole world, not just for some of
the world; indicating that the whole world would have ended up in perdition
had not God provided a way for people to escape if they wanted to.

Just my two cents.…
If you don't have a relationship with God, then you're spirit hitler's neighbor. Burning away.
Their fleshly bodies are pretty much worm food or a pile of ash.
Sorry if this offended anyone, but that's the way I see it.

I read a artical on line about Steeve Jobs just after he died. ( do not know if it is true or not ) The artical said that steve receved Jesus a few weeks before he died. the main point of the artical was his last words. ( oh wow, oh wow , oh wow. ) and then died. we can only guess what he was oh wowing about...............Pomp.
