didn't get there? I've heard many theories, but none of them seem to really do it for me, for example, the "you just wont have any memories of them" theory, and so on. I don't buy that one, because I don't think your memory gets erased just because you got to Heaven. Maybe you're operating on a different on a higher
level or something,,, anyway, curious as to what you think?

When you die, youy soul leaves your earthly body. Only your soul or spirit goes to heaven. Your spirit takes a new form and knows nothing of the sorrows on earth. So therfore you don't remember any of the people who did not make it to heaven.

The Bible says God Himself will wipe your tears away in heaven, and that there will be no more suffering, sin, or cause for tears in heaven. But if God wipes them away, then there perhaps are some tears shed in heaven, which is in disagreement with your assumption.
As believers we will be given a new body, and see our Lord Jesus Christ in person. We will see God the Father and behold majesty and power like nothing we have ever witnessed. We will understand more fully that we, unlike any other creature, are children of the Almighty God. We will more clearly understand what true love is and be so overwhelmed with thanks, grace, mercy, and awe that our memories of our sinful lives on earth will fade very quickly. Our focus will be...as it always should have been...on God, proclaiming His excellencies.
And in several million years in heaven, performing tasks for our Lord throughout heaven and who knows what else, the brief moment spent on earth may not even be something we want to remember.

I think that any religion that has dogma that damns all "non-believers" no matter how "good" and kind to others they may be is an evil religion. End of story, if the christians are right (which they are not) and only they gain acceptance in the mythic aftrerworld, then they can have it.
If Ghandi can not gain acceptance into "heaven" just because he was a hindu, then heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be.

You think maybe the concept of heaven as an afterlife is limited? There are levels in spirit realms to which we all go by our own efforts of spirituality. Everyone will find good company...no need for tears in this progression.

we're all going to hell. that's what i've been told. but since i don't believe in heaven or hell anyway, that doesn't bother me. If i'm wrong, well i can say "sorry god, you weren't convincing enough" and god will forgive me, right? I studied religion at school, the more i read, the less convinced i became.
But really, let's face it, NO ONE knows

This sounds like a childrens book. There are people that still believe in this nonsense?

I think we will be so happy praising God, that we will tell Him, "After all, I love You so much more than I did these people."
