Is this fair?

Question

that NO amount of good will get you into heaven...........
while even the most miniscule amount of bad will get you into hell?

Why must we be punished eternally for our bad deeds..........
Why not be rewarded eternally for our good deeds?

Answer 1

I wouldn't really worry too much about Heaven and Hell, if I were you.

They're not real, in the first place.

Merry Christmas!!!

Answer 2

Well do what I do and you'll feel better. Believe in your own god/guardian and know that he/she will reward you simply for being a good person and caring for others, not punish you for having 'impure thoughts' or sex before marriage or whatever other ridiculous 'sins' the bible contains.
I mean, I don't know if I actually believe in a God, but I have faith that as long as I am a good person I'll be ok in the afterlife (if there is one).

Answer 3

All you have to do is accept JESUS as your savior and admit your a sinner, and ask HIM to forgive you of your sins. All the bad and miniscule sins will be forgiven. So you will not be punished eternally. you cant go to Heaven on your good deeds because GOD doesnt want people to boast and brag that one did more or better than the other

Answer 4

As a Muslim, we have firm beleif, that their is reward for good, & punishment for bad deeds. Punishment is not always eternal & Allah Almighty (GOD) may forgive us our sins. but the reward in heaven is eternal.

Answer 5

You've got it really screwed up! If you want to go to Heaven you have to believe in God thru faith and have a relationship with Him. The way to hell is to not believe in Him and deny Him. Works has nothing to do with anything. You can do all the good you want and you won't get into Heaven unless as I stated before. The idea you do one wrong thing and it's to hell you go is false. Once saved you are forgiven.

Answer 6

I don't think God would do that. First of all nobody can be as Merciful as God, and if humans are willing to overlook and forgive shortcomings then God would definitely go a step or two further. Of course if one chooses to do bad deeds only then they would really be testing God's Mercy and I don't think that is recommended!

Answer 7

No, it's not fair.

Any God who would send someone to hell for some the average life of "sins" we commit is neither just nor worthy of any worship*. He could only be described as cruel and inhumane.

That God would be an unjust god, a monster. And we should bring him down to earth and try him and lock him up and throw away the key.

Note that I didn't say we should send him to hell. I'd like to think we humans have gotten to the point that we are more just than the God of the Bible.

As described in both the old and new testaments, that fictitious character is a petty tyrant.

Answer 8

Heaven and hell are not given by your behavior it is given as a gift to accept or not accept. God made this very clear the way to heaven and hell. You can't earn it and you can't buy it. Its free for those who ask

Answer 9

Here is a revelation for you. It combines a belief in God, an Appreciation of Jesus, a belief in science, a belief in fossil records, a belief in technology, and a belief in evolution, and a belief in the original Bible texts, not the corrupted versions in 1611 when the Bible was first translated into English.

"........ Consequently, they will have the freedom of choosing their own destiny and the destiny of their children while on Planet Earth. If they choose not to learn in my garden classroom, it, along with the Honey Tree will be returned to Little Para.

In such case, I would return to Big H and watch over and guide them from my laboratory. When they ask me (pray) for advice, I will advise them by mental telepathy. When they ask (pray) for my help, I will help them by telekinesis. However, I will use telekinesis only if it would result in harmony.

(Later in history, when earthlings prayed to God, and their prayers were answered, they would refer to God’s mental telepathy as “the word of God”. They would refer to God’s telekinesis as “miracles”.)

Without the Honey Tree, the humans would no longer have eternal life. However, they will have been created with the capability of eternal life; thusly, always having that capability. They will always have the freedom to learn or not learn from me. Regardless of their choices and their children's choices, I will always care for them. But, I will not force or intimidate them in any manner to choose harmony over disharmony. Nor, will I, nor can I, force them to love me.

Once a human chooses harmony, he will, upon arrival on Little Para, undergo a quick fix evolution that will permanently remove his criminal distractions; his ability to lie, cheat, steal, murder, begrudge, or even contemplate such things. In summary, all new humans will be made safe and tested (judged not a threat) prior to being teleported to Planet Big H.
However, while on their planet, they will have the ability to persuade, not force, under certain conditions, each other to act in criminal or somewhat criminal ways.


Therefore, if I introduce to you an acceptable harmony-loving human who wants to be your friend and neighbor,
It will be because that person chose to become a harmonious friend, neighbor, and full citizen of Planet H.

Humans who fail to become harmonious, after they die on the new planet, will not be destroyed or denied eternal life. Instead, they will be quarantined, with available Honey trees*, at a safe distance from Planet H."

So, God came and left. Then, Jesus came and left. And, what did they leave us?

They left us a message.

And, just what was that message from God and reitterated by Jesus?


Harmony is harmony.

Disharmony is the only sin against God.

Answer 10

There are many people in the Bible who lived a long time, do you suppose they did so by not making God happy?
