And far to many people have rejected the Son, so why would everyone go to Heaven?

2008 Year of St. Paul who said:
"If anyman love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed, Lord come quickly"

clearly very few are going to inherit eternal life. Salvation is like a marriage contract offered to mankind by the Savior YAHOSHUA. Take His name, follow His rules (Torah) you become His ‘bride’ and He saves you. If you and He have become one, His mind will be in you , and you will choose to do those things that please Him, and you won’t break His commandments

No one deserves to go to heaven. We are all wretched sinners. The great thing is that Jesus came and died so that we may have life. Whoever believes in Him and accepts Him as Lord and Savior will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Those who reject Him, will be warm when they die. He said it, plain and simple. I am THE way, THE truth and The Life, no man comes to the Father except through me.



People who think that "good" people go to heaven are incorrect and will be sadly mistaken on judgment day. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.

Only those who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven. And only those whose sins are forgiven, and that debt paid, will be allowed into heaven. That is the truth, and it doesn't change just because someone rejects it.



What blows my mind is how many people reject the gospel message. It's so simple. All it costs us is our pride, in admitting that we're sinners and can't save ourselves. That's a small price to pay!! Yet people reject it and spit in God's face, and then turn around and whine about how unfair God is for actually judging our sin instead of giving all of us a free pass. Duh, He *gave* us a free pass! Jesus paid it all, and all we have to do is believe! Why isn't that good enough? Why do people insist that the only way for God to be a loving God is for Him to let people do whatever the heck they want here on earth and just forgive it all in the end, even though that person spent their entire life cursing God's name and disobeying everything He said? It's so foolish.

Most people don't worship Jesus, whether they believe he had existed or not. Alot of people do believe there is a god and pray to Him. If there really is a god and a heaven to which he permits people to go to than I think he would allow all people even the non-believers access to these pearly gates. Because if god created humans and their ability for their brains to reason and question an existence of something that hasn't even presented itself to them in real life accept for what is written in ancient scriptors, than he can accept the fact that some people naturally will not believe in him or Jesus and can forgive them of that.

Well Satan and the fallen angels believe in Jesus - they even believe he created the world and that he was raised from the dead, and that he sits at the right hand of the father, and that he is coming back! Are they going to heaven? Clearly, one must do more than merely 'believe'. The essence of new life in Christ is its productivity - there will be fruit in their lives... a) Ephesians 2:10--"We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." The fruit of salvation is good works. b) James 2:17, 22--"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead" (v. 17). A life that has no evidence of fruitful works does not have an active faith. Legitimate saving faith is productive, even if it's only in a minimal sense. Verse 22 says, "Seest thou how faith wrought with [Abraham's] works, and by works was faith made perfect?" That doesn't mean you're saved by works; it means your works are the end product or evidence of salvation. c) Matthew 7:16-17, 20--"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit .... Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them." The attitudes and actions of a person reveal whether an individual is a believer or not. There is no such thing as a believer who doesn't bring forth some good fruit. d)Matthew 12:33--"Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit." e) Matthew 3:7-8--"When [John the Baptist] saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth, therefore, fruits befitting repentance"--that is, fruits that are connected with salvation. f) Romans 6:20-22--"When ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed?" (v. 21). The implied answer is none, because they weren't saved. And fruit they had was the fruit of sin. The contrast comes in verse 22: "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." Every believer has everlasting life, which is the culmination of a righteous life. Therefore, people who don't bear fruit cannot be believers. Not everyone who calls Jesus, Lord is saved.

he who believes to ge heading to Heaven without knowing He--Jesus will not enter it but be condemned even the most righteous needs Jesus as his Lord and Savior (even he that is leader of the most numerous church needs Jesus) Jn. 14:6 for without Jesus there is no way to Heaven no matter if they believe or not the end will soon be upon men and then they will yell out to Him but it will be as in the times of Noah---the people yelled to let them in but once God had given them grace for Salvation (the Ark) He closed the doors and so it will be true once more--men will no longer have Salvation through the Son--Jesus therefore, the angels will come at the end to lead those wishy-washy few to God. In other words, God will grant them one more time to seek and accept Jesus just before the end of times and then as stated--.....for it is appointed for men to die once and then the day of judgment......so we all have the same opportunity to be saved but those that seek Him not will perish; not everyone will go to Heaven.

Well its like this do you really want to see everyone that you love burning in hell,because they do not believe,wasn't that be terrible.

And down you will be looking down on them saying I told you so.

I wonder how many Christian have this in theirs self righteous heart,

sad but turn human is one of the most terrible being on this earth,to watch another burn. I believe there is good in almost everyone. And I pray that some will get to heaven regardless of their religion belief,because I know within myself there a forgiving God,I also know within my self human is not forgiving as they want to be. And will used that bible and every words of it against someone to make them believe

Not everyone will go to Heaven, there will be many who do go to Hell. And I hope that I never will. I want to be in Heaven with my Lord, and I'm gonna try to do everything I can to make that happen.

Because Jesus is not an important figure in reality, Jesus was just a man, God was just a philosophy, and it was all just blown out of proportion. We can cast the blame saying he is going to heaven, and she is going to hell, but who cares... It shouldn't matter, and your holy book says it doesn't matter until the day you die. So stop living with the thought of death.

I fell that Jesus won't let people like Scientology followers or Atheists into Heaven, but let people with some faith in him, because everyone has a little doubt in their faith I know I do, and you Probably do to.

Christianity was not founded by Christ. Instead, it was founded by his disciples, and later . It is true that Christ is the only way, and the only truth, but christianity is not the only way, nor the only truth. If some one pursues truth, are they not pursuing Christ, since he is The Truth?

Why the hell would you have to be a Christian to go Home again? We made the plan for this life with God before we came here.



Above all, God knows how asinine Christianity really is.

God decides who goes to Heaven. We don't know who is there until we get there.

All religions are either ALL right, or they are ALL wrong. Which of those 2 choices makes the most sense. I cant believe that you listen to Paul and not yourself.

God gives you what you want.



If you want an eternity in His warmth and light, and have asked for it on earth, and changed your life to such a degree (made Jesus your Lord) He will give it to you.



If you want an eternity without the Light of God, in the outer darkness of eternal death he will give you that.

Everyone wont go to heaven. The road to heaven is a narrow way, but broad is the road to hell and its very crowded...

Jesus will reconcile ALL things to himself. Not some, not most, all.



Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
