I'm asking this because, i cannot say that it would necessarily, as per it pertains to me.
I choose to believe that family members of mine that have passed on, have gone to heaven, when the truth is for some of them, i know they believed in God, but the fine details are fuzzy, and i do not know where their hearts were at the time of thier passing. I know that the bible says the requirement is that you believe on the Lord Jesus; so those without Christ are lost.
But, i believe that God is gracious, and i do think that for some, because he knows their hearts, he may reveal himself to them in the moments before they pass on; some never have that opportunity though.
But, if you thought that a loved one went to hell, would that affect your view on God? I feel as though, it would be very painful, but then again, why should i assign myself the same eternal destiny as they, as that won't change anything.
So, what are your thoughts on this issue? I am just curious.
