It sounds like you have a pretty good understanding of religion to me.

Stay away from religion, it is a mind altering opiate.

I'm a believer and I am not evil. I will agree with you, though, there are a lot of people out there that claim to be believers and are not. Don't worry, God know who they are. It is wrong to judge. I will tell you this, yes there are a lot of Athiests out there that go to hell and are very nice people. You do not go to heaven if you a simply "nice". there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. But the athiests are none the wiser. They do not believe in any of that. Wouldn't you rather take the chance and serve God and go to heaven then to not believe and either end up nowhere as worm food or in hell fpr eternity. The biggest sin is turning God away form your heart. Once the Holy Spirit is gone, He never returns. True believers of Christ are not evil. I'm sorry you are so misinformed. Have a nice day.

It's not about what we do. There is nothing you can do to make God not love you. Being nice does not get you into heaven. Just believing in God doesn't do it either. You just can't believe in Jesus and think you can still do whatever you want and get away with it. God does not send us to heaven or hell, we have a choice. Through Christ we can get into heaven, but we have to chose to follow him. It's not about religion, It's about a personal relationship with Almighty God through Christ Jesus.

People who have have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will have a change in their lives that others will notice. They will become better people. Many people who call themselves Christians are not really, because they don't really let the teachings of Jesus change their lives.

yes there will be a lot of nice people in Hell and the people you are claiming as christian and evil- well I won;t judge them but GOD does say he will judge by our fruit. So if our fruit is spoiled then maybe we need to work harder on being more christ like.
I know a lot of churchgoers that will be in shock when they stand before GOD. GOD will not tolerate evil so it is a safe assumption that the evil ones ( whether churchgoer or not ) will not make heaven.
This does not mean that they cannot repent only if they hold true to their evil nature then they will be cast out. GOD looks at our heart and other people can tell by our behaviour what is in our heart. We truly do carry our ehart on our sleeve for the world to see.

For many centuries religion has been influenced by many things, whether by pagan worship, politics, or simply to keep worshipers within the congregation. Satan has also blinded the minds of many so they could not see or get the sense of what the holy spirit is imparting. The bible tells us that to search for it as if for silver or for gold, ask and you shall receive. Please take the time to search for truth because you owe it to yourself to understand your heavenly creator and in order to serve him in a way that is pleasing to him you must have understanding. With understanding there comes wisdom and with wisdom there comes life.

“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3, NW.

The anwser to your question is no, god does not allow evil in heaven or anywhere else at the conclusion of this wicked system when he brings an end to false worship and all wickedness. Proverbs 2:21-22 tells us:

. 21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.

There is a heavenly hope of those who rule as with Christ as kings spoken of at Rev. 20:19

. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years. Please see the article listed below:

Actualy you understand more than most. believing or disbelieving is not the reason people go to heaven or hell. Its being a good person, understanding the absolutes which are peace, love, understanding, compassion and forgiveness. These are things we all know exist because we have felt them at one point or another. These are the things that will lead people to enlightenment, its all that matters.

First off do you understand what hell is an why it is?

Not all who say that they believe are really going to heaven. Many will claim to be believers yet there actions will speak against them.

Going to Heaven is not based on how good you think you are, and yes many who think that they are good people are going to end up in Hell. One might ask why would a loving God send good people to Hell? If he is so good then why would he send anyone to hell?

Look at it this way, a child rapist stands before a judge and the rapist says to the judge. I know that you are a good man and a good made would not want to sent me to prison but work with me to get better. The Judge would look down on them and say you are right about me being a good man and it is because of my goodness that I am sending you to your punishment, because it is what the law say the you deserve.

In many respetcs it is the say with God, we have God's laws based on his goodness. So let me ask this, have you ever told a lie, doesn't matter how big or small just if you have ever told one?
I have.

Have you ever stole anything? Again it doesn't matter the value, an ink pen a paper clip, ect. Can't say you never have because with the answer to the first one we know that we a lairs.

Jesus said that if a man looks upon a woman with lust that he has committed adultery in his heart. Done that?

He also said that if you hate your brother that is the same a murder? Ever hated someone?

That is 4 of Gods Laws and I stand condemned, how good a person are you. No amount of good that I can do will ever make up for that, can you? Condemned of breaking the law I stand in judgment and hell waits. It was Gods law that teaches what sin is, but is was me that broke the law. What about you?
Again no act of goodness can ever unbreak the laws that I have broken and I stand condemned. What about you?

Think a God of goodness will just over look the crimes I have committed against him? No, and rightfully so. It is because of his goodness that he can't just allow our evil in. By the law I am condemned but by Grace I have someone that took my rightful punishment on himself that I may be found worthy to stand in front of a great and loving God. This is were faith comes in, my faith in Jesus that he took on all my sins, my crimes, and paid the price with his life that I might be found worthy to stand before God.

I believe because I know that my crimes are real and my fate would be sealed if something or someone had not stepped forward for me. What about you?

It is by God's Grace through my faith that I am saved. Nothing else. Goodness had nothing to do with it. Condemned or forgiven, doesn't matter what any of us think, one day that is what it all comes down to. I made my choice, I chose Grace over goodness.

Wrong.There are no evil people in heaven. Anyone who doesn't accept Jesus as the Son of God, and have not trusted Jesus to be their personal savior and hasn't repented (turned away from) their sin will go to hell.

Sin cannot enter into heaven. We aren't supposed to know all the answers . We are to live by faith. You live by faith every day. When you cross a bridge,or eat food you didn't prepare.I don't have all the answers. But when i look at the setting sun on the ocean of water found only here i know we were created.That's all i am sure of.

the only way to get to heaven is to ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to live inside your heart. you might think that people are evil who are indeed saved, but the Word says not to judge a man's heart only God knows who are His children. the question is are you going to heaven? have you made that choice to accept the free gift of grace and acknowledge your a sinner?? life is short compared to eternity.

Believers cannot be evil and get into heaven...scripture has it that "faith without works is dead." Simply translated, a believer can be identified as such not by their words but by their conduct as a Christian...not the lip service of saying they believe.
