How do you know you are going to heaven?

Question

Jehovah's witnesses teach the Bible says that only 144,000 people will go to heaven to rule with Christ over a paradise Earth where the rest of mankind has the hope to live for eternity.

Most Trinitarians believe that only those who worship the trinity man-god will go to heaven.

1) How do you know you are going to heaven?

2) What are you going to do when you get to heaven?

3) What does the Bible say you are going to while in heaven?

4) Will you be in complete agreement in all aspects of your worship to God or will you still have differing opinions as you have today?

5) Will you be happy to see people suffering for all eternity in a place of fire and brimstone being tortured by Satan?

Answer 1

I for one do not want to go to heaven. My hope is to life forever here on earth that humans will help to beautify.



People in Christendom who say they are chosen by God to co-rule in his heavenly Government do not even know what that Government is, what it means for the earth and humans or what their roles would be once they got there.

Earth is a wonderful planet and it is our inheritance. I pray that myself and millions of others will be a part of the new earth and all the blessings our Creator has promised by means of that Government. Daniel 2:44, Psalm 37:9-11

Answer 2

No one goes to heaven when they die. They never have.



Jesus Christ Himself said so in John 3:13, “And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven”



The 144,000 refers to the saints that will rule with Christ on Earth, not in heaven.

Answer 3

144,000 is wrong. Salvation is offered to anyone who accepts God's free gift. :)



Faith alone in Jesus alone = salvation :)



To be saved all you have to do is believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and accept him into your life. All saved believers are still sinners but when you believe and accept you are forgiven and allowed into the kingdom of God.



Being good, and works do not save, only Jesus saves.



Ephesians 2:8-10

John 3:16

Romans 4:2-5



Here is a link that helped me with my salvation, hope this helps you as much as this helped me. :)

Answer 4

I'll answer your first question;I know I'm going to heaven because God promised that I would.

Romans 10"9-10 " If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved.For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

Ephesians 2:8 " It is by [grace] you have been saved through faith, this not from yourselves it is a [gift] from God." and finally; Romans 6:23 " The wages of sin is death but the [gift] of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Answer 5

How do you know that you are going to heaven? the 1,44,000 were Jews so guess where Russel, Nathan and the other cult members are. If you don't know , you will find out someday when you will be in the same place as them.

Answer 6

You are really going to make someone work for those answer points. First of all, I personally wouldn't place much stock in a religion that gets its start from a man looking through a couple of rocks to supposedly see God's plan. Nor would I believe as the Scintologists do that aliens will take us away one day, though it is a lot more feasible to be a star gazer than the rock gazer.



1. I believe I was reincarnated, and that this life is to help make up for some suffering I experienced in a past life. I know I didn't want to come here again, and have a vivid memory imprinted on my brain that I had no choice. I'm here under Grace, all I have to do is live this entire life believing in God, without being driven to suicide and without harming anyone else. Though I have no memory of heaven itself. Not so far fetched if you read the Bible about the "Guff" and the fact that it runs out of souls in the end times....therefore God created a finite number of souls, it would be only logical that as the Earth's population increases so dramatically as it will in the next 40 years, that some of us return to learn more.



2 & 3. When my learning time is done, I believe I will be placed in charge of a world. The bible says we are like God. We are not Angels, nor are we going to become Angels. We are not immortal like Angels, until we pass into heaven and are transformed to immortal, or cast into the lake of fire. Revelations in the Bible talks about this. When Christ returns, those who are alive and have survived the war with Satan, will immediately be transformed to immortal. The rest will be brought back to life again to live without Satan's influence for 1000 years. Those who still resist God's rule will be destroyed...they will not achieve immortality. God is ever expanding his creations, he needs a creation to help him. He is God, but he is a single being, just the same. Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are one and the same...just as water can be steam, liquid and solid ice. God makes mistakes. He created immortal beings before us...the Angels, they cannot die. And many of them rebelled against him so that he was almost de-throned. He corrected that when we were created mortal. That way he would only grant immortality to those who followed him, and destroy the rest. The Bible clearly states we will be like God. We will have tremendous power, more powerful than the Angels. He wanted to make sure before he gives us that much power. We will follow him in creating and ruling infinite worlds.



4. We will still have free will, but we will always do what God decides is best. God gave us free will upon this earth to see what we would do with it. We have the ability to choose many things in this life. We choose to build, we choose to destroy. We choose to love, we choose to hate. We choose to apologize to God when we defy him, we choose to ignore him and do as we please without acknowledging what God is telling your heart is actually right or wrong. Only those who will ultimately follow what God decides will be granted immortality and the power of God.



5. No, once Satan and his Angel followers are cast into the lake of fire, they will suffer in eternity for defying God. Evil humans will be destroyed, because they were not created immortal. The children of God will have all memory erased of those for whom they might mourn, out of love and compassion, for there is no sadness nor remorse for them in heaven.

Answer 7

144,000 people??? Sorrybut you have no proof. I do believe in God but I think your statistics are rather wrong and lack of evidence.

Answer 15

WE must look to the bible so that the lord may open our eyes to the truth.

May 21 is Judgment Day. Those who god chose before the foundations of the earth shall receive everlasting life. They shall be given a new incorruptible body that cannot sin, and behold they shall Shine like the sun in heaven with GOD. Those who are left in this earth shall be under the wrath of GOD. There unsaved corpes shall be throughout the world. It will be a terrible time of torment. After a period of five months GOd shall comletely destoy this earth. There shall indeed be a great Earthquake.

We know that that the Lord hath appointed a day JUDGMENT; Judgment day. Through the mercy of lord Jesus thirst only the saints. the prophets shall inherit the earth. They are the meek. We read throughout the BIBLE that the world shall come to an end.

WE go to Joel 2:2-11

Joel 2:31-32

Amos 4:15-16

Amos 8:3

Obadiah 1:15

Micah 3:4

Matthew 13:37-43

Matthew 24: 29-30: talking about what is going to happen immediately after the great tribulation{ we are living at that tribulation time}

Matthew 24:38- 29 God, being so merciful, is telling us how as of Noah's day so shall the end be.

Matthew 24:40-42- God is speaking about the rapture.

Luke 13:25-29- God is saying, by his authority and righteousness and goodness and great mercy, that on that day those who left behind, meaning those who GOD did not save, and those still remaining in the churches,- all in their own category of the unsaved who have defiled the commandments of god being children of Satan and God not making payment for their sins. They shall see that they are not at all going to to rulers in the kingdom of heaven, and shall see that they themselves are not at all to be saved by God and are cut off from the hope of salvation. it is a very sad and scary thing to find out that you were not at all to be a child of GOD and A GREAT GREAT may people shall be in jealousy and fear, and immense sadness.



Luke 17: 26-36. Rapture and how the end is like of the time of Sodom and Gomorrah and of Noah, and also, not specifically in this verse but also How the people of Nineveh escaped God's wrath.

1Thessalonian 3: 16-17 , God is talking about the final trump = rapture, in which the children of God shall be taken up into everlasting life- May 21 is the day of the rapture.



My friend forgive me please, but If ye wish to have communication with these concerning the word of the almighty god please email me. For the day of judgment is very near. The end of the world is to come very soon.



If we closely study the bible we see that the things that god sealed up in Danial are being revealed at the time we are living in The great tribulation- it being almost over, we have but until May 21 and the ark of salvation is closed.



We are able to know the time of the end as we read in 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-8 and Ecclesiastes that were able to know time and judgment and that god shall come as a thief to those who are not looking to the bible.



We also read how now Satan is now ruling the churches and himself being transformed a an angle of light but through the love and mercy of God we are able to see him in broad daylight and leave the churches. There are A great multitude of new information that God is showing to us if we only look to the bible in humbleness and obedience in the light of Jesus Christ



We must also take the lesson that God is telling us and WE better listen or else,- The humble publican, How the people of ninevah pleaded with god in sackloth and ashes- meaning gret humbleness we read from Jonah 3:4-10.

God is SO kind :D
