Answer 1

Answer 2

It will be pretty well empty if Jehovah's Witnesses are right! And they're so arrogant they've just issued a leaflet claiming that of ALL the religions on the planet (not just Christian) only they have the truth. However, I have it on the highest authority that they've got it wrong (huge sighs of relief all round).

So, to answer your question can I just say that it's a good job who gets into heaven isn't decided upon by religious leaders. God gets to choose. Will it be boring? I seriously doubt that because there's going to be so many brilliant and interesting souls around. Maybe all you lack is a little imagination?

Answer 3

The Bible tells us how we can enter heaven, ALL that follow this will enter into heaven. None is perfect, so Christ took our place. If we do as God ask, we are guaranteed a place in heaven.
Philippians 3:14,17,20 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.... Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.... But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:24,25 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us -- eternal life.
Jesus became the “bridge” between us and God. It is only through what He did that we can have any association with God. Read John 14:6. All we have to do is accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord and then live for Him.
Repent of your sins. (See Acts 17:30,31.) Confess Jesus as Lord to someone. (See Matthew 10:32,33 and Romans 10:9,10.)Be baptized. (See Acts 2:38,39.) Remain faithful

Answer 4

The scriptures tell us that there are millions of angels in heaven.

Then there will be Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, Moses, Calib, Joshua, Nehemiah, Peter, James, Paul, and most important Jesus will be there.

I could learn alot from the ones that I mentioned.

I believe these are just a sample of who will be there, and there will also be 20 centuries that should have yielded a few more.

Answer 5

Wait a minute, you don't think religious people are right about being religious, but do think their right about who's going to Heaven? That doesn't make any sense.

Isn't it possible that lots of people are going to Heaven, but only a few people know why? Or maybe no one knows why?

Answer 6

Heaven will be pretty well empty if these religious people fail to repent and surrender the serpet seed that they enherit from Adam and Eve.

Answer 7

I'm only a little religious...mainly because all the major religions have such obvious human faults. I hope there is something else...I think there is. But I agree with you that most religious people are too fanatical.

Answer 8

enable's look at this a sprint extra in-intensity. purple chinese language are seen extra racist and nationalists than Christian chinese language. despite the fact that white Christian racists could nicely be racist. the version here, is that the purple chinese language are extra possibly to burn in hell that a white Christian racist who defended each and every of the racists, even here on yahoo. think of of it this way. If white protestants are the black guy's terrific chum, why would not god basically enable all races advance on their very own? devil is indiscriminate in who he kills interior the international. God isn't.

Answer 9

There may be bad people in the world, but there are good people in it to, and if those people do the right thing and follow God heaven won't be empty.

Answer 10

I agree it would be a shame if heaven's full of "religious" people. Perhaps they'll all go to a place full of their fellow thinkers and we can call it hell.
