Am I going to hell even though I'm helping people that need it?

Question

I'm a physician, and I'm doing good deeds and helping humanity. I don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, and don't eat meat because I believe its wrong to kill. I care about all living things and give money to the poor. I believe in Jesus, but I also belive in Buddha and Vishnu. Am I going to hell?

Answer 1

No you are not.

Hell are reserved for people who has done the most heinous deeds to other people and obviously you don't belong there.

You will go to heaven , where good people like you reside.

It didnt have anything to do with who you believe in.

By the virtue of your deeds and your kind heart , your soul is gradually transformed by all these good qualities .

At the end of your life, your soul will be attracted to a place , where the beings who lived there , have the same heaven like qualities like yours .

You will enjoy bliss and happiness and you would have light shining out of your soul.

The place is called heaven.

IMHO, you have to walk your talk , whether you are Buddhist , Christian or Hindu.

I think it is of no use to just talk about labels but you do nothing to change/ improve your character and be good and do good to other people , for other people.


I wished that you received all the best in this lifetime and the next and I hoped that you carry on your good deeds in your life.

Answer 2

Cant get to Heaven on good deeds, Salvation cant be bought, knowing Christ as your Savior being saved by grace is the only way to Heaven. Although I do think that God has given you a gift of caring for others, healing, etc, there's more to it........ Look into the Bible read the New Testament and find out the Truth, then pray......John 11:25
2nd Corinthians 5:1-2, 4-5

Answer 3

Actually, if you really look at scripture, "hell" is simply the grave. An eternal burning place of damnation was never meant for the creator's people. Since the very beginning of time, however, people of the earth have always made up things to scare others to conform to their will...thus the Christian hell. Don't worry doctor. You are doing good...but be careful...saying you don't lie, cheat, or steal simply tells me you are not actually human at all or in great denial because all humans will fall at one point or another. Surely you are not above humanity?? Take care.

Answer 4

Helping people and doing good works does not take you to Heaven. You must be saved by the Grace of God. Believe in your heart that Jesus died for you, and was buried, and Rose again on the third day. You must realize you are a sinner and be under conviction. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and come into your heart and save you. You Trust in Him, by Faith.

Answer 5

good deeds r fine, but they wont get u into heaven unless you have jesus in your heart. now if u believe in buddha and vishnu as well, i dont think that will get u into heaven, unless you're not worshipping them and obeying them, then maybe you wont go to hell. all u need to know is that jesus is in your heart, dont believe in buddha or vishnu or any other gods or goddess but if that is your belief than you may keep on believing becuz i cant really tell u wat to do.

Answer 6

not necessarily.what would qualify or disqualify someone from going to heaven or hell is subject to their own beliefs/faith.if doing good deeds & thinking that one is going to be rewarded by going to heaven gives one comfort & peace of mind while improving their mentality towards life,then continue to do that without caring too much about how others think/view you.you can take their perspectives into consideration but stay true to who you are and follow your heart.afterall,"only god can judge me." i can't just hover into heaven like a snob thinking that i own the place while presuming that i have the freedom to do whatever i wish just because i've been a good person & heaven is my selfish sanctuary(there are probably other occupants in heaven too)i like to call it "wonderland",since i'm uncertain and only able to guess what it looks like,until i'm actually there of course.who really knows or can prove if there are puffy clouds as seen in movies/tv/cartoons.i visualize heaven to be serene but there's still a bossy supervisor there to keep my ego in check,so it probably isn't as great as some of us probably envisioned.however,optimism helps.

Answer 7

I really don't see why you would go to hell. Unless you are hiding, something you sound like you live your life as a good person. Christian's would call it the "Golden Rule," but isn't there something in Buddhism (or is it Hinduism) about leaving the world and every single being you encounter better than you first found it?

Answer 8

According to the Bible there is only One God and that to go to heaven you need to keep the ten commandments and Have the testimony of Jesus Christ. So I don't see how you could have 3 different religions.

Answer 9

no body can tell,this is in the hand of god.now if u r good to people they r good to u as well.u r greatly rewarded in this life by the god,these maybe the only rewards if u r going to hell!
you may go to hell if your spiritual beliefes are not the right ones,and in this case god will reward u greatly in this life only!
to have the right beliefs you have to look for them,check religeons which talk about hell and heaven,jeudism,christianity and ISLAM.to get to the heaven you have to have a good and right relationship with the god not only with people.

Answer 10

Buddha and vishnu didn't die for your sins. Jesus said, I am the WAY the Truth, and the Life. No man can come to the Father but through Me. Even if an angel appears to you and tell you of another way to God...let him be cursed.
The difference between region and Christians is religions are asking you to believe this way or that way when Christians are asking you to RECEIVE someone in your life. Christ is alive and wants to prove it to you and He will if you seek Him......Buddha and vishnu are taking many to hell.
There is no other name under all Heaven for men to call upon to be saved. Either the Bible is all lies or all truth. Many millions all over the world have found Christ and know the Book is true. Christ is who He claimed to be and willing to prove it.
Man says, God prove yourself to me and I will believe but God said....Believe and I will prove myself to you.
There is a way that seems right unto man...but the end leads to death. There is only one way and Jesus tells us about it. He said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man can come to the Father but through me. Millions have come and there is still room for one...yes there is room at the cross for you.
Jesus said, behold...I stand at the door ( to your heart)(inner-self)(soul)and knock...if any man will hear my voice and opens the door....I will come in.
There is only one TRUE GOD and He gave His only begotton Son to save you. He died to save sinners.....All have sinned and fell short of the glory of God. Every human but ONE.
