One for the Christians?

Question

I am a nice person. I have many friends who love and respect me and I, in turn feel the same way for them. I give to charities at every opportunity and I once saved another man's life.
I do not however, believe in God.
Now assuming I'm wrong about God, will I go to Heaven?

Answer 1

your a nice person....bullshi.t, many friends who love and respect you? imaginary its all in your mind...even you sheep hate you...you saved another mans life? how? by not breathing on him im guessin after you had satisfied your billy goat

Answer 2

According to the bible all souls will be raised in the end times and judged.

I believe that those who, for whatever reason, were not able to feel or see God and believe in Him will be given one last chance after they are dead to know the truth and acknowledge God before they are judged.

Revelation 20:11 - 15

The dead are judged.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.

12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books.

13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them and all were judged according to what they had done.

14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

15 And anyone whose name was not found in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

I will pray for you that you be able to see the light in a way you can understand and accept so that you may be judged and not be found wanting.

Answer 3

Not in your sin No, You can however ask God for forgiveness with real intent and a true heart and be forgiven. Then yes of course.. Good works are not the key here it's a trust that God will keep His promises to mankind... You know there is evidence of God and I don't mean just from the Bible. There is NOT proof. The final step is faith just like it is in evolution. Jim

Answer 4

You already know the answer.

The Privilege Corrupted Romans 1:18-23
A person cannot deny the Lord and still live successfully. Mankind was created to acknowledge God and share a relationship with Him. When someone chooses to ignore the truth of His existence or His sovereignty, he or she begins a downward slide.. It’s a choice which ends with a hardened heart and eternal separation from a loving Father.
God gives everyone the capacity to understand Him and the free will to choose whether to pursue that knowledge. The truth of His existence is revealed in nature and written into every person’s conscience. However, many people ignore reality because it interferes with their preferred lifestyle. Instead, they chase false philosophies, which are usually mixed with just enough truth to make them believable to the inexperienced.
Any “truth” crafted by man is foolishness. A mind that has rejected the fact of a sovereign Lord cannot see its error. It has slipped from intelligence—an inherent knowledge of God — to willful ignorance. In this state, even when all evidence points to the truth, a person can still convince him- or herself that the opposite is right.
All the denial and atheistic arguments in the world will not change what is real. Jehovah is God. Jesus Christ is His Son. God created you to love, obey, and honor Him. If you resist the truth, you choose a life of darkness and willful ignorance. The choice is yours to make.
God invites you to see if He is better than all that the world has to offer. Psalm 34:8 challenges us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” Will you taste and see?

Answer 5

Jesus told the story of two men going to pray. One of them told God all about his good deeds and his virtuous lifestyle, which he reckoned made him better than the next man, and the other simply begged God for His mercy on him, a sinner. (Luke 10: 9-14). The prayers of the latter were heard by God and he was what was termed "justified" because he saw himself as a man needing God's forgiveness and grace.

That, the Bible teaches, is the only way to Heaven. We cannot do it by our good works but by faith in Jesus Christ. We can never earn our salvation: we have to receive it by God's grace, by acknowledging our imperfections and accepting our need of Jesus as our Saviour. I have been reading the biography of John Wesley. He believed in God all his life and for years and years he struggled to be a good person in the hope of winning his way to Heaven. There came a point where he realised that all his efforts amounted to nothing and that only the death of Jesus could reconcile him to God. That was the point where life really began for him. Eternal life.

Answer 6

How can you believe in Heaven when you don't believe in God?
Sounds like wanting to have your cake and eat it to me.
Christian and Muslim teaching says that God is merciful, forgiving and all powerful. So if you lead a truly blameless life, He might accept you into heaven, which would be a big surprise for you, since you believe that God doesn't exist.

Answer 7

Unfortunately, it is not our good deeds (charity, churchmanship, upright character, etc.) that get us to heaven. Bear with me a little and I'll state the gospel message as briefly as I can.

Adam - the first human being - was constituted by God as the federal head of humanity (because all will eventually be descended from him). He uttery failed a test of loyalty and sinned (yeah - tiresome word). He was given freedom of the Garden save only one tree from which he was not to partake. He ate from it and sinned entered the world of men. From that time on, human nature had undergone a profound change.We are now all born naturally inclined to rebel against God and to sin. If this was not true, then why do we take pains to teach our children to do good and to avoid evil; while we don't even have to teach them to do bad because disobedience and rebellion seems to come naturally to them (have you ever been with a 2 year old for one whole day?). Now this inclination to evil is called known in theological parlance as the "sinful nature" and it affects every part of us. Therefore all our thoughts, feelings and actions are tainted by it - by the corrupt nature. Left to ourselves, we cannot earn salvation nor heaven.

God knew this, so He appointed a Second Adam - the Christ - who will reverse the effects of the Fall through His life of perfect, sinless obedience and vicarious (substituionary) sacrifice of Himslef on the cross. Why the cross? Becuase "without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins." His resurrection is the seal that the atonement was accepted by God.

Without Christ's atonement, we shall still all be dead in our sins. Without His perfect life of obedience, none of us will merit heaven. Why? Heaven was closed to all of us when our federal head Adam sinned and was driven from Paradise (a type of heaven). Heaven now is opened to all those who by faith are spiritually joined to Christ as the Second Adam and federal head of the Church - the body of the Redeemed.

So, you want to get to heaven? Become a Christian

Answer 8

It's not what you do for others that gets you into heaven. It's what God has done for you by the gift of his son. Any Christian can plant seed for you to follow Christ. It's up to the Holy Spirit to indwell in you to nourish that seed. Faith is a gift from God along with his grace. If you want to know what he has in store for his people read the Book. Study and grow in his knowledge.

Answer 9

NO...
No one can go to heaven with his good work... Because we have nothing good to give to God....

John 3:15-16 "15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Read these verses well :

Philippians 3:1-9 "1 ¶ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 ¶ Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"

Romans 7:18-20 "18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me."

Answer 10

what happens if Christians are wrong and its Allah lol!

I like the egyptions take on things,

"In later belief, the soul of the deceased is led into a hall of judgement in Duat by Anubis (god of mummification) and the deceased's heart, which was the record of the morality of the owner, is weighed against a single feather representing Maàt's (the concept of truth, and order). If the outcome is favorable, the deceased is taken to Osiris, god of the afterlife, in Aaru, but the demon Ammit (Eater of Hearts) – part crocodile, part lion, and part hippopotamus – destroys those hearts whom the verdict is against, leaving the owner to remain in Duat. "

Answer 11

Then wait the time that God will visit you to work for Him. If you close the door then you work for you and your good praxis will turn over to bad praxis.
