Christians: What kind of heaven do you believe in?
June 15, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Is it a heaven where only those who believe in the Christian God go to? Is it a heavn where those who are kind, regardless of faith, go to? Or is it the heaven where only those who believe in the Christian God go to and everyone else, no matter how kind and caring, go to hell?

And why?

Christianity, IMO, is essentially the aim to be good. God is good, and we are called to be like him. The reward is life. Heaven starts here and now. Christianity is all of this formalised. I think it's possible to work it out for yourself. Very difficult but possible.

So basically the same as padraic's golden rule; "try not to be a cunt". Don't see why you need a religion for that shit.

Sorry Frods, but nothing in the bible suggests that god is good.
In fact he is portrayed as a monster.

And why?

Heaven is being with God. As far as who gets to go.. That is up to Christ, as He is the final judge on who enters and who does not. Does being a Christian guarantee you entrance no. Will Christians be the only ones there? No the bible is 1/2 full of non Christians who will be there. Does it hurt to be a Christian absolutly not. I believe the being a Christian is your best chance if you know about Christ.

Again, it's all up to Christ as to who goes and who does not.

Heaven sounds like a it is occupied by bunch of pricks, whom think they are better than everyone else! It is not as powerful of a place if it can get full.

Keep in mind, despite what is often perceived, heaven is not the end-goal in Christianity. It is the resurrection from the dead and establishment of the Kingdom of God here on earth.

It's ok. I don't expect any sort of intellectual discourse out of you besides slander and ridicule anyway.
