Depends on your interpretation. If you read your Bible carefully, you will find that only a very select few will go to heaven to rule with Christ. The rest of humanity that have died are still in a dead state of non-existence awaiting a future resurrection. The dead will rise with new bodies on Earth, not in heaven, and will be given 1000 years to achieve that perfect state that Adam and Eve had in paradise. There will be no Satans influence during this time. After the 1000 years, Satan will be let loose upon humanity as a final test. Many will follow him, even in the best conditions. They along with Satan, will finally be destroyed forever. The rest of humanity will live in a peaceful, repaired Earth for all eternity...maybe even beyond Earth. At this time, everyones attitude should be on the same page, so to speak.

I don't think the word 'sinner' is in the Bible, though everyone has sinned, except God. It also makes it clear that only God is good, so there are no 'good people' to go anywhere else.
People who have sinned will get to heaven, because Heaven is based around God and He wants us all to be with Him. he won't ever stop trying to persuade you to join Him...

What do you mean by good people? All people on earth are sinners. There has been only one person in the history of the world who has gone through life without sinning, that is Jesus Christ. Any person who says they have never sinned is sinning by saying it. Becuase any immortal thought, any laps in judgement is a sin. If you saw a homeless man on the corner and didn't give him food or clothing than you have sinned. If you have ever looked at a woman or man and thought you they looked attractive, you have sinned. Who has not sinned besides the creator of the universe?

That question is twisted. Only those who believe in Jesus Christ will enter Heaven- those who have been forgiven of their sins. Sinners who have not repented or believed in Jesus Christ will not be in heaven, but rather the alternative- hell. There is no "nice" place just for good people- Romans 3:10 says "no one is good, not one, and no one seeks after God"
--It is only through Jesus Christ you can inherit the kingdom of Heaven.....after this life it will be too late.
There is heaven and there is hell- you can be nice all you want and do good deeds, but without faith in Jesus Christ you will not get into heaven...which means you will go to hell, for sin is punished- and God has given a free gift of his salvation through Jesus Christ- those who do not accept it will be held accountable on judgment day-
Ezekiel 20:36
As I judged your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Sovereign LORD.
Mark 1:15
"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

There in no such place all such places belong in the diseased minds of religious maniacs, these places were dreamed up to frighten the uneducated masses in the dark ages which we are now returning to thanks to the policies of Blair and the frighteningly unbalanced ex education secretary Ruth Kelly, soon there will be lunatics on the television spouting religious trash just like there is in America thanks to Liar and his corrupt religious friends in high places.

according to the bible... there is no such thing as a good person. just look at the ten commandments! have you ever lied... stolen anything... lusted... wanted something selfishly that didnt belong to you? these things in our lives make us bad people. sorry.... but thats just how it is. if u fail with a 59 % or with a 20% you still fail.
it is only through the blood of Jesus that people can be forgiven at all! no matter "how bad" you think you are.

hell. christianity teaches good people go to hell and sinners go to heaven.
speaking of which. would u really want to spend eternity in heaven where you were made to worship the thing [god] responsible for sending your family and loved ones to hell to be punished for eternity.

There ain't no good people. We is all bad. It's just that some of us know it. That's why we are going to Heaven. We know our need and trust Jesus to fix it,
