I think that even if you are not christian,you will make it in heaven! How do we know if what the bible says is true? We don't really have a reliable source for that. And just because you are not a follower does not? mean you are not his children.If God truly created us equally, in some way, why would there need to be a reason for going to hell or to heaven? In god's eyes we are his children,and nothing can change that.You shouldn't always trust something you read. I mean how do we know that they are hiding the truth from us with this bible?? How do we know it's not all made up?
TheCreepyNeighborPersonally, I can not beleive someone who doesn't beleive in God won't go to Heaven (if there is one) I mean look around. Do you know how many differient religions there are? You can't tell me only one is right, and that anyone else that beleives in a differient god(s) will not go to what we beleive as heaven. They say God is perfect. Would something so perfect reject people who live a life unsure of what to beleive? This is why I'm Agnostic. I beleive in a higher being, but not entirely a whole... (more »)
TxDragonif you think the bible is not true, then why do you think there is a Heaven? the bible is God's word, so if you believe in God, and heaven, then you should believe the bible. the bible tells us about God and Heaven, so if it is false, then God and Heaven are not real. If it is true (and I know it's true) then God and Heaven exist, and only believers go to Heaven, like it says.
Do you know how old the bible is? Old. It's a lot of stories of people that has probably had tons of changes, like the game telephone where you sit in a circle and repeat what the person told you, but it usually ends up getting messed up.
So you can't completely rely on the bible. It's just a book of stories that may or may not be true.
Saved_By_GraceIf you check with scholars, they will tell you that each manuscript of the books of the Bible that's been found for years and years have been virtually the same and unchanged. Unless you want to count synonyms that have been used (that don't even change the meaning of the scriptures), you can't say that it's been constantly changed.
I challenge you to look up archeological data on this.
Oh, and they have everything from the original bible? Every story? I doubt that this is very truthful.

They have other documents to cross-reference with the Bible. These noted scholors wouldn't say something that they can't prove. They are to proud to do that! (joke)

in my opinion if you spend your life dedicated to helping those around you and living a life free from negative influences and as long as you follow your own faith as purely and truely as you can. You will make it to what ever paradise is described for those who pass, depending upon the faith.

AnonymousFatty"Once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means..." There, I just quoted hitchikers guide to the galaxy, another fictional book. It adds nothing to this discussion.

the difference is - serventofGod believes that the Bible is truth. Do you believe that HHGTTG is truth?
God created us all equally yes, however he made us so that we can have our own minds and our own decisions. If you truely beleive in God than you'll be accepted into Heaven. And anyway's how can you beleive in Heaven if you do not beleive in God. That is his Kingdom.
I noticed you said that if you believe in God you will go to heaven. I'm afraid that is not true. To go to heaven you must do as the Bible says in Romans 10:9; 'that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ' (not just God) 'and shall believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead than you shall be saved.' Remember God and Jesus (and the Holy Spirit) are three in one. You cannot just 'believe' in one. Besides, many people - including demons and Satan himself ... (more »)
LyssaNicoleever thought that maybe they dont what to go to heaven??? i look forward to going to Hell, actually...
Hello Ally.
May I tell you something? God does love us all. We are all His children, but just as a parent must discipline, so must He. God truly wants us to be with him in Heaven, but if we do not believe that he is the sovereign King and that his son Jesus Christ died on the cross, He must punish us.
I am sorry if I offended you in some way. Please consider what I told you!
The answer to all of your questions are available in a Bible. He is a merciful God but remember this Bible verse: "But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven." (Matthew 10:33 NIV 2007 Version)
Are you saying that a man told us that if we didnt beleive in god we wouldnt get into heaven. When does God talk about this, does he ever even mention why thos of us who choose to believe in what we can see, touch, and feel, can't experience eternal joy and happyness.
TwinnBears27Jesus Christ said this. He is God the Son, the second member of the Trinity. His role in the Trinity is as a type of mediator between God and man. Through Him we experience salvation.
Loki M. i like this! very good observation for those who beleeve
It's an interesting idea, but maybe you should expand on it a bit more. Your points aren't very strong. If you made the article a bit longer, it might be more convincing.
