Fair to make anyone dying think they'll go to heaven?

Question

I mean if they don't believe in God or Jesus.
I mean they won't.
revalations even says that only very special people go to heaven, others go to a new world with no evil and people deserving of it go to hell.
What do you think?

Answer 1

I don't think it's right. I believe that if you're going to play up heaven, you need to be honest about where their soul is headed.

To be honest, even though I believe that, I struggle with it, since I also believe that people should be able to end their lives in peace.

The biggest problem I've had in regards to this is when good, kind, but unbelieving people have died, and their families and friends talk about how they're in heaven. I lost a good friend in junior high to a car accident, and it haunts me that she may not be in heaven. I also lost a step-sister to a drug overdose, and while it bothers me that I don't believe she's in heaven, I would NEVER tell my stepmom that.

EDITED: In regards to what the guy who said it wouldn't matter since they don't believe in God or Jesus, so they don't believe in Heaven, that makes sense. However, just because you don't beleive in Heaven doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also, when facing death, people can have a view of an afterlife, even if they've never believed in it before, just to comfort themselves.

Answer 2

Anyone who was brought up as a Christian during childwood has God in the back of its mind...even when they proclaim loudly that they don't believe in God.

They spend their whole life denying that God exist.

But when their last hour on this Earth come...they start believing and turn to God in the hope that there is life after death.

God did not create religion. Man did.
If there is an almighty God...it does not matter that you believe in him or not.

Religion was created to give man some moral values in order to create what we know today as civilisation.
Without religion...we would still live in the jungle with the apes.

It was much much later that governments were created with their own laws to replace those of the church. In the beginning...religion was controlling the people...in the same way that the government is controlling the people of today.

Answer 3

There is no heaven. 'Believers' tell themselves whatever makes them feel better, the fact is that when you die, you die. Your body becomes worm food, and it takes an extraordinarily down-to-earth person with their head on straight to be able to accept that and be cool with it. We're all afraid of disappearing. Studies show that even babies are disturbed by 'sudden disappearance' of objects.

I personally think the best thing is to grow up and tell a dying person to think of their life, that's what's real, that's what's important.

The only real 'judgement' is our own self-judgement of whether we lived a good life or not. Living with the fact that we aren't is the only real hell.

Answer 4

This is a hugely controversial question. Personally, I agree with you. If you have given your heart to the Lord and believe and openly have said and believe and asked forgiveness of your sins you will be welcomed into heaven. If you have not repented and asked for forgiveness ....we know what the bible says. But regardless, you have to believe in some sort of highr being to be asking for forgiveness of your sins..?????

Answer 5

Huh??? Someone who chooses not to believe in God or Jesus is pretty much betting on the side that they aren't going to Heaven by virtue of them not believing in Heaven aren't they?

Answer 6

Whatever you do don't tell a dying person they are going to hell, thats the last thing they'll wanna hear man, especially if they are dying, I mean thats hell already, no need to scare them more. Nows a good time to maybe hand them a bible lol.

Answer 8

I believe that way, too.
But when someone is dying, I don't have to tell you that it can be a scary experience for someone that's not sure of their faith.
I don't see anything wrong with comforting anyone when they need it the most.

Answer 9
