Do non-christians go to heaven?

Answer 1

of course, they CAN...whether they do isn't up to us though...it's between the individual and God (my opinion)

Answer 2

I will answer this question with a question. Does a child born and raised in the Amazon Rain Forrest, who never saw the outside world, never committed a "sin" (defined by Christianity), who is told and believes to his death that a rock is God go to hell?

Faith based "Truths" are nothing more then what we are conditioned to believe. I have asked many Christians’ these questions and have heard the following general responses;

Q: What makes you believe that your religion is the divine truth?
A: Faith.

Q: What is your definition of faith?
A: Knowing deep down in your heart what the truth is.

Q: How do you know that what is deep down in your heart is
more true than what is deep down in the heart of an Atheist?
A: Because the Bible says so.

Q: How do you know that the Bible is true?
A: Faith.

I think your question should not be whether non-Christians go to heaven, but in fact should be whether heaven exists.

The three dominant monotheistic religions are the dominant religions in today’s World because they had better marketing schemes throughout time, to be more specific, during a time when globalization was non-existent, and the perceptions of "truths" were completely based on hear-say.

My position on religion is simple; the basis of any religion are stories put together to form a book. Be it the Bible, Koran or Torah, religion is simply myths that men choose to believe as absolute truths. Religion is myths men choose to believe because of their fear of the unknown. Therefore, Faith is another word for hope, or denial.

DENIAL = HOPE = FAITH = RELIGION

Answer 3

If Christianity is true, then none of my family members (that I can think of, anyway) are in Heaven at the moment. So even if non-Christians DO go to Heaven, I wouldn't want to join them. I'd rather be with my family, wherever they are.

Answer 4

In the bible it says whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. It also says that if you don't know Gods than you shall not enter heaven. So no if you are not saved than you cannot go to heaven. You can't just be a good person to go to heaven you have to have a special relationship with him and you can only have that if you are saved.

Answer 5

Yes. See Revelations. On Judgment Day, the non-Christians will be judged according to their actions. The bad guys will be chucked into a lake of fire, and, presumably, the good guys will go to Heaven.

Answer 6

Can't believe some of the silly ideas that float around...

Do you really think the eternal almighty creator of the universe really gives a squat whether your personal belief system is labeled Christian, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Judaic, or Muslim, or Buddhist, or Taoist, or Athiest, or whatever? Or that in setting up his immutable laws that govern all of the creatures inhabiting the trillions upon trillions of bodies throughout the universe that he would single out one single doctrine belonging to a partial population of a single planet to be somehow treated differently than all the rest of his infinite creation?

Think about it.

The laws of spiritual evolution that the infinite, almighty Creator put in place govern all entities in the universe equally and without discrimination or bias towards whatever specific rituals and belief systems they adopt. Those laws are very simple, and they go like this:

God is the supreme source of Love and joy in the universe. "Heaven", if you choose to call it that, is being in God's presence. "Hell", if you choose to call IT that, is being removed from God. When you express the Love of the Creator to all other parts of his creation you come closer to God. When you express the opposites of Love, like hate, anger, judgement, jealousy, etc., you are removed further from God.

Doesn't that sound a little more like what the eternal, infinite, almighty Creator of this vast universe would setup as his laws?

Answer 7

If u belieev that God is the only living God and true Lord and Savior and aslo u owrhsip Him no matter what problem u are in, and u spread His word and try to live ur life Holy and have a great and true realtionship with Him, then yes. He only wants those who follow His ways and listnet o Him. The ones that love Him no matter what. Its not really about the religion cuz anyone could sya that they are Christian but aren't doing the things they are supposed to. But its mostly about ur relationship with God and how u treat Him. If u treat Him like a once a week thing, then He will do the same. You need to be diligent in your relationship with Him. Don't only praise Him on Sundays. He wants all the prasie adn worship we cna give Huim. It lets Him know relaly how much we love Him. He showed us by seding His only son Jesus to die fro us. So we need to show Him back by being able to profess His name even when have friends tat may laugh or ppl that may laugh. Or to be able to die for Him. Thats how much we cna show Him that we really love Him and wan to live with Him in His kingdom forever.

Answer 8

Only those who come to God in The Way He proscribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and enter Heaven... Those become of The True Christian Faith and are of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head..... all others will be rejected by God Because they reject Him.

Answer 9

Jesus is the only way to Heaven. [John 14:6] But, I do believe deathbed confessions made from the heart will be honored. I cannot predict who will go to Heaven and who won't, but I bet there will be many "surprises".

Answer 10

Christianity is a religion designed by man not by the Almighty. Anyone who has a SPIRITUAL connection to God himself and not necessarily to religion has a better chance of seeing God's paradise. A lot of christians will be in for a rude awakening on judgement day.

Answer 11

No. The bible says that you have to accept Jesus as your savior. If you recieve salvation, then you are a Christian, a follower of Christ. Thus, if you are NOT a Christian, you don't go to heaven.
