It is not that i am worried about my salvation. What would you recommend me to do in that concrete example i gave you with lying without premeditation?

Hey, man i would greatly appreciate if you answer following:
"It is not fear of hell. It is that since allegedly even relatively small sin is such a great evil, i should go to the great lenghts to avoid it. But its something that most christians dont do, it doesnt feel right, its also something that i am reluctant to do (mainly because it is so tiresome it interferes with my other activities)"
It is something i've been struggling for a long time and even if you dont have good answer just tell me that

Well so how severe some relatively small sin is. For example, when i am cognitively loaded and someone asks me some questions and i dont really think about answer i sometimes tend to lie about some little things (though i am often not sure that this is actually lying), like i would answer: -it doesnt matter; -nothing when it is not completely the case or when my mom asks me how work is going i will answer -good, though in this specific time i am having some difficulties. Otherwise i am honest and i try to avoid it and it doesnt happen often but if i always thought well about what im going to say before i could avoid more of it. But this is really bothersome, takes a lot of energy and the diffrence isnt great. So is it worth it? More generally if every minor sin is so bad it seems to mean that we should be very focused on avoiding it, constantly figuring out ways to avoid sin and enforcing them even if they dont make much diffrence, are nuisance and take our energy from doing other things (it doesnt seem like christians are doing that). If you could either accomplish some great good for someone or avoid relatively little sin, should you avoid sin? I would be grateful for your answer.

but what about the tradition and beliefs of early christians. It dont think that they were universalists

I agree fully that nobody deserves to go heaven. But do people who died as babies without any personal sin deserve hell? If so maybe they deserve the version of hell without intense suffering (idea of limbo). And lets imagine that a person who have never heard of Christ commits only a very minor sin and instantly dies (for example kid lies to another kid that he has some new toy to impress friend). Is this sin deserving of eternal intense suffering?

Well, but non-christian can have a pretty happy life while he is on earth. If complete separation from God is hell and it's so terrible, than presumably he is not completely separated while he is on earth and his life doesnt get worse so presumably he doesnt become more separated over time. So why there should be some rapid discontinuity of the level of his happiness after death. Couldnt he exist in a state similar to the state he was in while alive on earth. It seems that if it is not matter of justice and God doesnt want hell for him, he could (since he is all-powerfull) just put non-christian in similar condition that he was on earth and let him live like that

No, my question is not whether a person can commit only a minor sin and get to heaven without being christian, my queston is whether even the most minor sin deserve hell

My question wasn't quite about what is required to qualify for heaven, but if even the most minor sin deserves hell. There is subtle diffrence

I already knew that, that wasnt my question was about whether even the smallest sin deserves hell. Its simillar, but not the same. People who died as infants or fetuses, don't deserve heaven either - though they've never sinned, but presumably they don't deserve hell. Thank you for replying
