lookn2cjc: First, your nickname says a lot. You're looking for what you want to hear. Second, does it strike you as even a little odd that I could go on forever like this, with endless examples of your god's love and justice? You're an idiot. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you so, but you are. Pure idiot.

As I have heard, going to heaven is not a matter of what you do, but what you think. If you spend your entire life running around putting baby's heads on spikes, but you did it with the full conviction that God intended it of you, then you are a believer enough to get into heaven.
Isn't that great?

Well, he's from a Abrahamic religion, too, isn't he? And aren't we ALL part of God's kingdom, no matter how evil we are? He probably does repent somehow, even if he doesn't show it, cause I highly doubt that any human can be purely evil. Besides, who are we to judge Middle Eastern Islamic culture when we know almost nothing about it except for the horrible stuff we see on television/online? So, of course, he's going to be saved --- heck, he probably already is if he was baptised and stuff.

If he were truely sorry and repented his sins to God and accepted Jesus as his saviour and became a saved, born again Christian, then the answer is yes. This goes for anyone. A person in prison for murder that has repented, is better off than someone who steals an apple and does not repent.

If he were to repent and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior- of course, God won't refuse anyone, even the lowest of the low such as Osama bin Laden can be saved.

Luke 15:7 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Anyone who TRULY repents from their sins before God will be allowed in to his Kingdom. This is the nature of God's forgiveness it is wonderful and hard to understand as we are.

He doesn't need to repent! He belives he is doing the right thing!In his mind he's probably some level near what the pope is to you(i'm guessing that's your highest human religious person)(I do not in any way support any actions that he or any associates make or do)

I don't think that God would forgive one of the most evil men alive today. I mean, he's killed (according to some estimates) upwards of 100,000 innocent civillians. No, there's no way God would forgive George W. As for Osama, yeah, he might.

Sure, but the tendency is that once a person's heart is as hard as his is - it only gets harder and harder. That basically happened with Hitler. He died totally cold and empty and no wonder after the atrocities he was responsbile for.
