And if so, why would anyone want to spend eternity with people like that. I know I wouldn't.

Well, the difference is, when they come to Christ, they are given a new heart, and are not the same person that they were when their crime was committed.
Jesus Christ did not come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people live.

Do you think they are still rapist,molesters and murderers when they enter Heaven? I don't know who would like to spend time with an unforgiving person on earth let alone in heaven.

Yeah.. why not?
Everyone has made errors that have gotten them further from God, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love and the chance to rehabilitate and renew their relationship with God. I wouldn't want to hire a child molester at my neighborhood elementary school, but in heaven, everyone has been cleansed from their sin and sinful ways. It's not like sin will be in heaven at all.

Sin is sin. Once anybody sins, they cannot get into Heaven. Jesus came back to save people (the ones who choose too, anyway.) The only unpardonable sin, is dying without repenting of your sins. You sin everyday, just as I do.
Jesus died for us.
Why would you ever want to live in hell with it being so dark, you can feel it. There's so much pain down there, there's mashing of teeth. That doesn't sound fun.

Yes if a person is truly repentant of their sin they will be forgiven and if forgiven they can enter Gods kingdom.
Truly repentant means they have recognized the wrong in their actions and are truly sorry for what they have done and are no longer willing to willfully do this again.
Based on your statement... can i assume you will be moving to a deserted island somewhere to live alone? I say this because you currently live in society where in with most cultures someone can be convicted of a crime... and once they have served their sentence and paid the price for their crime they are released... and shop in the same mall you do... live in the same neighborhoods.... ect ect.
Those that are truly repentant of the things they have done that are unpleasing to God and are truly sorry for their choices..... they dont pay the price.... that price was paid by Jesus Christ on the cross... it was paid for me..... it was paid for them.... and dear one it was paid for YOU..... to God sin is sin... no sin is greater than another he will not be in the presents of sin..... any sin.... period.... this being said... i am not a killer.... but i have sinned in my life... my sin is no more nor any less than anyone elses no matter what they have done.... because ANY sin will prevent us from being with the father.... all must be forgiven....
God bless you will be keeping you in prayer

Our God is a loving God. Even though it is hard for people to believe yes it's true. These people have to repent and really mean it though. God knows whats in there heart. Who are we to question who gets into heaven. He loved us enough to die on the cross for us. God Bless

It may not be as easy as it sounds for the murder, rapist, and the rest... you just don't say forgive me God... you have to be serious, sincere, basically transformed, God would be the one to feel that persons heart, and God would know if he or she is true to their word of heart, do you understand what I am saying?... you can say forgive me one million times, but if it's not compassionately true deep in the heart, your going to hell, unless you have a change of heart, you can't trick God, I wouldn't even think about tricking God.

Yes! thats why it's called repenting youre saying your sorry for what you did and you'll never do it again. If God forgives them then yeah they can go to heaven

If you have the mark of the beast you will not go to heaven. Only those whose names are in the book of life go to heaven.
Those who believe in Jesus but follow the False Prophet or live with the beast, will not be in the book of life.
God makes that choice at the time of reckoning.

Yes, Jesus blood covers a multitude of sin and there will not be sin in heaven! We are all God's children some just haven't figured that out, yet.
