He wasn't a Christian, but no one can deny that he was a good man. If someone like Ghandi (not to mention thousands of other good, non-Christian people) was cast into hell, I don't think I can get behind the idea of Christianity. It just seems completly wrong to me.
Your thoughts?

I agree with you. I believe Ghandi was a saint on earth. Not only Christians have saints.
I believe that each of us creates our afterlife. I believe in the Summerland, the name for the place where Pagan souls rest and learn in between incarnations. Many religions have different ideas of the afterlife and since all the universes and all the dimensions are infinite, there is room for all of them and all the afterlives of all the beings of the universe. How's that for New Age? But I believe it.
Some Christians are joyful and positive and have a good message, and they believe primarily in heaven and will go there. The kind of Christians who condemn and hate -- like some of the Christians on here who love to tell everyone in sight that they're all going to hell -- believe in punishment and hell, and that's where they'll go, because that's what they believe in the most strongly.
Hope this made sense. Blessed be. ;-)

. the only people who would be going to Heaven would be those worth of serving as Kings and clergymen with Jesus in the time of his thousand 12 months reign. Do you somewhat think of SOS qualifies as a Heavenly KIng or Priest? . ............................ regarding "HELL". What do think of Hell rather is? previous testomony (Hebrew) - Sheol is in simple terms the grave. New testomony (Greek) - Hades is in simple terms the grave. Hell is in simple terms the grave. in case you have been taught that that's an eternal burning hearth, stoked with the aid of devil, please understand that the Bible says at Revelation 20:10, Revelation 20:13, 14, and Revelation 21:8 that Hades and devil are the two destroyed. Verse 8 says that the "Lake of hearth" is loss of life. It says that all and sundry LIARS pass there. devil IS a liar. John 8:40 4 devil DIES. The Bible says so ! No devil+No Hades, ability there is no eternal burning hellfire. ......................................... the place ARE THE ineffective? Genesis 3:19 Psalms 146:4 Ecclesiastes 3:19,20 Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 ......................................... THEN WHAT? Revelation 20:13,14 Revelation 21:a million ......................................... AFTER THAT? Psalms 37:9,11,29. Proverbs 2:21,22 Proverbs 10:29,30. Matthew 6:9,10. Matthew 5:3 ... or Matthew 5:5. ......................................... .

No. I don't think Ghandi is in hell. I, like Ghandi, believe that we're given more than one opportunity to realize what GOD has in mind for our eternity.
The Bible states, though, that it's not by our works that we will be saved but by our faith.

You don't know the thoughts or the heart of Ghandi or anyone for that matter, you assume he is good in the public view from what you have read.
Only God knows the heart and he will judge, we don't know and we can't say. All that we know is that Jesus is the way and if you get the truth of Jesus and refuse it then you have nothing to say but those who don't know God, God will deal with it in a loving way because God is love and He knows best.

You're supposed to be scared into believing Christianity, then afterwards behave like you're thrilled to be Christian. First you have to fear damnation, then you pretend it's all love and sugar cookies.
The point of living is TO BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER. The primitive mythologies about a place of afterlife torment are ABSURD.

No one is in hell. You'd have to have eternal life in order to go to hell forever. An eternal burning hell is NOT in the Bible.

yep he is... sadly... i mean like it's sad that ppl go there...but u do have to b a christian! Well, that's too bad that you're not going to be a Christian either. To get to heaven you have to be a Christian. I someone's soo good y don't they just becomea Chrisitian? And it's true that ppl live happy or joyful lives after they become christians and in heaven ppl who are Christians like say the guy who becomes a christian after being a serial killer will go to heaven but won't get near as many rewards there as gandi would have if he was a christian

That's a good question. I honestly don't think we know all there is to know about how God judges people. I think there may be different levels of heaven like Islam and Catholicism believe in. Who knows? He definitely was a good man.
