Christians, do you know who Gandhi was?

Question

While I was at the Assembly of God church, there was a guest speaker. He was a bible college educated missionary. He had a degree from the college. I asked him my favorite question to Christians, did Gandhi go the heaven. He did not know who Gandhi was. LMAO

If a man like Gandhi is not welcome in "heaven" than I do not want to go there!

Answer 1

yeah...he said:

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
-- Mahatma Gandhi

Answer 2

Gandhi was an important man for the cause of peace and civil rights. When they asked him about Jesus his response was simple: I read the Bible and I say yes. But I look at Christians and become very disappointed. As brilliant a man as He was, He just couldn't separate the messenger from the message. Sad. But who knows we might see him and others like him in Heaven. I certainly hope so. We're going to find out any day now.

Answer 3

The mainline churches do not have this teaching on good non-Christians.

There is a mystery : Jesus said that He is the door to heaven, yet there is still a means through the same door for non-Christians, including Gandhi who cherished the ideals that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. However you cannot claim to know everything about Gandhi, only God knows.

The Catholic church states"
II.5. The non-Christian may not be blamed for his ignorance of Christ and his Church; salvation is open to him also, if he SEEKS GOD SINCERELY and if he follows the commands of his conscience, for through this means the Holy Ghost acts upon all men; this divine action is not confined within the limited boundaries of the VISIBLE Church."

The Catholic church does not dispute that Jesus is the only door, only that there are means other than the church through which that door(Jesus) may be accessed by sincere non-Christians.

This statement would seem to include the possibility that seekers after God may attain salvation. This statement does not indicates that those who reject God will attain heaven, so atheists are more in danger of hell because they reject and mock the Creator.

Answer 4

Jesus dint come to earth to say that he had paid for all ur sins and all u have to do is to just believe in him to get to heaven. He came to earth to preach ppl how to live. he taught ppl to love, to be forgiving, to be generous , not to carry anger at their heart., and most important not to be judgmental (pertinent to this question ) and soo many more things. The essence of Jesus's teachings was to how to live a life and not just to believe in him. Though not a Christ believer, Gandhi was a perfect eg. of a person who followed Jesus's teachings. He lived as an eg. and showed the world, how love works. He was no politician, or a religious preacher yet a man who had moved a nation, a man who shook the british empire, someone who inspired the world. he showed in recent times what non violence and love is capable of doing. You dont have to be a Christian or a jesus believer to go to heaven. Its what you are and what you do.. I am sure Jesus would have been happy with what Gandhi showed the world. No one has been a better eg. of his own teachings than gandhi in recent times. I think Gandhi should be in heaven. again its up to god. :)

Answer 6

Didn't he bring water for all the troops.

Well, they weren't 12. They also weren't all virgins; so far as is known they worked solo rather than in pairs; and Gandhi claimed he wasn't trying to rejuvenate his manly energy but rather prove he had it under control. In all other respects, however, the tome you cite (whatsamatter, David, the bookstore was out of The South Beach Diet?) is 100 percent accurate: the leader of the movement to free India of the British yoke did sleep with young females--and what's more, both parties were often naked at the time. He was 77 when this odd practice came to light, and from what we know sleeping was all they did. However, when a renowned holy man of any age pulls a stunt like this, he takes the chance that it'll turn up in a book with a title like The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress.

Mohandas Gandhi's sleeping arrangements attracted public attention during the winter of 1946-47, when he was trying to quell violence between Muslims and Hindus in the Noakhali district in what is now Bangladesh. It came out that Gandhi was bunking nightly with his 19-year-old grandniece, Manu. In part this was an effort to stay warm in the winter chill, but Gandhi soon acknowledged there was more to it: he was testing his vow of brahmacharya, or total chastity in thought and deed. If he could spend the night in a woman's embrace without feeling sexual stirrings, it would demonstrate that he had conquered his carnal impulses and become "God's eunuch." It turned out that Manu was not his first brahmacharya lab partner--he'd also recently gotten naked (partly, at least) with another young woman in his extended family, starting when she was 18.

Answer 7

ghandi going to heaven, it doen't matter what path you take as long as you get to the top of the mountain.

Answer 8

and yes I know Gandhi He was a great peace maker of his time

Answer 9

Ghandi is a great dude. He stop rasicm, slave and united the entire india to retaliate the invaders not by weapons but by patience. Do read about him. Interesting fella.

Answer 10

A man like Ghandi? Peaceful, non agressive, a true example of what man should be. Except that he didn't put his faith in God. And better than that he didn't put his only hope in Jesus.

Sadly there are many "good" people. Fine people that won't make it to heaven because they never turned from themselves to Jesus. And as for heaven, I couldn't careless about anyone being there but God and Jesus.

Answer 11
