Since we have multiple accounts of writers saying they saw, walked, talked, touched and ate with Jesus Christ both before and after His resurrection (12 different group settings saw Jesus resurrected (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/12groups.htm)), from Matthew, John, Peter, James (family skeptic), Paul (outsider skeptic) and Jude (brother of Jesus), and they document multiple times they met together early on establishing agreement as well as in their martyrdoms, then this is the best evidence.
Most scholars today go first to the most trustworthy source which is Paul's writings, and note that Paul did say on multiple occasions he met with James, Peter, John and various other apostles, elders and others early on (within 5 years of Christ's death). Nobody has been able to explain this away in his many journeys.
Therefore we must conclude that if you reject Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will need to go to hell. The reason why God does this is because He can't have you near His sons and daughters, since there is no sin in the new city and new earth. Since you love sin and don't want to be forgiven or delivered from your sin, selfishness, petty self and "good self," you can't be with us.
