Just simple yes or no would do. Would a Christian give up your only space in heaven in order to save one sinner from going to hell? (Knowing that he fully deserves it by breaking all ten commandments repeatedly and never had and never would repent.)

Assume that it was a total stranger nobody.
Assume that it could be arranged somehow.

When I said "a Christian", I meant "you as a Christian" -- not someone giving up your space.
Please no dogging the question. Yes or NO?
2006-07-30 17:31:45 · update #2
yes

Is it funny how Christians like to throw out that they don't have a choice, as to tip toe around the question. If it is true, how the hell do they know if we have a choice or not. Where did they get that from, I have found it no where in the Bible. In my research I have actually found a Gospel that was omitted from the Bible and I don't know why that has Jesus saying that if one person in Heaven ask that a person suffering in hell be spared, then you will be. I think a lot of the people who call them selves Christian, should really try reading the Bible if they are going to call them selves Christian. It only makes sense right?

A better question would be, would Christ give up His place in Heaven to save a sinner from going to hell? (BTW, everyone single one of us have broken the commandments, and we ALL deserve to go to hell.) The answer is YES, He did!

I don't believe in a literal heaven and hell, and I think being a Christian has more to do with living a Christ-like life NOW, rather than focusing on believing certain things in order to go to heaven LATER.

Interesting question. The folks who say that it isn't their decision don't quite get it.
What if a person that you love is about to commit an unforgivable sin, and the only way you can prevent it is to commit an unforgivable sin? Would you do it?
What if the person is a fundy christian and decides the only way to protect innocent fetuses is to kill abortion doctors? Seems to me he is giving up his space in heaven for (what he believes is) the good of others.

My answer is no based on this:
When people die, that's the punishment. If God decided I get to go to heaven for some reason - then why would I question it? If I said yes then God would probably call me stupid and cast both of us out. God has more discernment than I, so if the other guy deserved to be in heaven, there would have been space for him to begin with.

No, with the aid of fact the completed thought is an invention of a author, and not a actual adventure which will ensue. Now while you're speaking Rupture, then definite they might actual have that first.

I would in an instant if it meant I was saving someone else from going to hell! But it's only by faith in Jesus Christ that someone can be saved so I can't do anything about it. I can tell someone the good news of Jesus Christ but it's up to them whether they accept it or not

No. This is a great question (meaning I actually had to think a moment before answering it).
God gave the choice to everyone equally. God wants me there just as much as someone else. HIS plan must be realized. I chose Him. The other person must also choose God, or else it isn't God's plan anymore, but mine.
Of course I'd LOVE to bring everyone I can with me, but I believe that God's providence provides more than sufficient opportunity for anyone who wants heaven to claim it for themselves.

That is a tricky question, but NO! I want everyone to go to heaven and will spend the rest of my life assuring that all my friends and family get into heaven so of course I would want to be there with them.

Dont know... thats an extrememly hard decision. Truthfully though, it would depend on who it was and this is assuming that I had a place in Heaven.
