Can Christians PROVE that they're going to heaven?

Question

And if so, exactly how?

Answer 1

The maggots told me so....

Answer 2

I guess it's to the same extent that a person can prove they are not going to heaven. Go by the information and instruction in the Bible to find proof. Heaven, salvation, everlasting, life is written about in many places in the Bible. Jesus Himself came back from the dead and told of going to heaven. I guess that someone coming back from the dead and giving information on this topic would be pretty good proof. Wouldn't you agree?.

Answer 3

To me Religious belief is not about proof. It is about Faith. If you look at the dictionary defintion of faith:
Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence
Loyalty to a person or thing; allegiance
The theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will.
The body of dogma of a religion
A set of principles or beliefs
We can see alot of what Chrisitianity belief is about. It is not about proof, or otherwise. It is about steadfastly believing in 'life governing priciples' The right or wrong of it is neither here nor there - it is a belief a faith the requires no proof.

Answer 4

No. Unfortunately, no religion can proove anything. Noone knows the REAL story. Everything is a theory or belief. People are comforted believing in heaven because death is something unknown thus ''scary''. It helps people to believe in something but unless an angel comes down in front of me and points the way, I wouldn't know for sure.

Answer 5

not a single one...


look... someone said "YOU WILL FIND YOUR ANSWERS IN THE BIBLE"

nice answer.....................

The bible was compiled in around 200 A.D.(in entireity) with pieces that were far older, like most of the Old Testament. The people of those times worked with the best information they had. The problem with most Christian religions is that they think the Bible is correct, VERBATIM. They forget that the Bible was written by man and only inspired by God. How can you explain how a television works to a civilization that barely understands iron? Steel was a far later invention. How do you explain complex cosmic theories of space time and black holes to people who thought that the Earth was flat and stars were just holes in the crystal sphere. Even if God knew what we know today he couldn’t have explained it in a fashion that medieval man (and earlier man) could understand.

If the bible were written today, many things would be different, but after almost 2,000 years from now we would have enough knowledge to see all the errors in that work.

What about the Book of Mormon, or the Gideon Bible? Do you think that the Baptists are heathen scum who are all going to hell? They do not believe that after the death of Jesus the Holy Ghost came and filled the apostles and caused them to speak in tongues. The bible clearly states that it happened; yet the group is famous for their extensive bible study that have arguments with the original text. Most of the people in the Middle East are dark skinned, but in the King James Version they were all made into white people. We know that is wrong. You only have to watch the coverage of the Iraq War to see that. Or do you not believe in Iraq?

The bible is an excellent resource. It is the foundation for all our laws, it teaches a good moral code, and provides an excellent example of how to live your life (Jesus). It is not a work of science; we can see the errors. Nor is it the ultimate historical resource, as all of those pesky dinosaurs argue against that. This is why many scientists believe in the scientific method separate from their religion. They know that the works of their religions were only inspired by God and they know that the bible is meant to teach; law, a moral code, and how to live your life. It is not meant to explain anything else.

Answer 6

Yes, I can prove it because the Bible is the only truth..I have been born again. I repented from my heart. I have been baptized in the name of Jesus and I have the Holy Ghost living inside of me. I am a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold all things are new in me. I died so that He could live in me. We have to lose our life to find our true life. When I repented I was so hungry for God that I would do anything for Him. When I got baptized I was buried with Him when I went down in the water, I was resurrected with Him when I came out of the water. At three A.M. Jesus came in my room while my husband was sleeping and talked to me when He put His spirit in me. He told me what He was doing and when He finished talking it was already done. He then told me that when people stood talking to me looking in my eyes, they would really be looking at Him. He ask me if I thot His father would do anything He ask and I said "yes Lord." That is why I do not doubt Him. He gave me faith. He will do it for anyone that seeks Him and hungers to know Him. I ask for wisdom and He gives it to me.

Answer 9

All of the Christians who are there already can certainly prove it!
Here's a story you might find interesting.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

Answer 10

When you prove that you are alive then you'll know the reality of heaven.

Answer 11

i found the answers to all my questions in the bible too.

They just weren't the answers to the questions i thought I was looking for. The answer turned out to be to the question "Is this book remotely reliable?"

Guess what the answer was?

Nooooo
