Do you think Ken Lay went to heaven?

Question

He is, after all, a born-again Christian, but he stole so much from so many, and was not even a little remorseful.

Answer 1

If he went to heaven so did Hitler. i dont beleive christians go to heaven. ive noticed that they dont judge him because hes a born agian christian. had he been another religion they whould have condemend him on the spot. backstabbing low life scums

Answer 2

That is between Ken Lay and God. Yes he stole so much from so many, but I was not with Ken Lay, so I don't know how remorseful he was. I hope he made it right with the Lord.

Answer 3

OOOhhhh, it would be so easy for me to be judging, especially when I think a lot of people CLAIM to be born-again but don't actually act like it. However, I have no answers to what really on the other side(and neither does anyone else, regardless of what scripture references they spout off)so I will say, who knows? That is not for ME to even think about. I hope as soon as he died he could see whatever truth was there and feel remorse for the things he has done.

Answer 4

Ken lay is probably living somewhere on an uncharted island living like a king. If he is dead, I guess the tenant of Christianity is that everyone is forgiven so I guess he will be in heaven but he will be fooled into believing he is in hell. I do not believe in hell.

Answer 5

Who knows. Its all speculation because none of us REALLY know the WHOLE story of what happened with Enron, and who are we to say whether Lay felt remorse and guilt or not? Not to mention, Lay had a bad childhood and such, and so maybe God will cut him so slack on account of the sufferings he himself experienced throughout his life.

Answer 6

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH

Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.


The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.

Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!

Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.

The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

Answer 7

I don't know and we don't know if he was remorseful or not. People have right up until the moment of death to repent of their sins.

It is not for uus to judge whether he is in heaven or not.

We should pray for his soul and for God to have mercy on him and all the departed.

Answer 8

Who was Ken Lay? Don't know.

Answer 9

Does anyone and everyone "go to heaven"? Yes...there is no judgment by God, however, I agree that we can create a reality in 'death' that would resemble a unheavenly place. So, the real question is where will his immortal soul find itself? No one but he will ever know.

Answer 10

That is between God and Ken Lay.

Answer 11

According to Christian doctrine, he is still living it up in luxury while all those he screwed will burn in hell if they don't repent.

It doesn't matter if they lost their homes & are living on the street due to his crimes, they should praise Jesus for their blessings.

Religion is nonsense, especially Christianity.

Ken Lay was a preacher's son. IMAGINE THAT??!!!!??
