Who goes to heaven and who desn't after death?

Answer 1

We always get the old answers from the God haters.. "There is no afterlife" Ok already we know that if you don't believe in God that's what you will all say... We have heard it and saying it over and over again doesn't give it any more credence. A question like this requires a spiritual answer and those are found in the bible..
God loves you so much that He sent Jesus to come to into world to suffer and die the death of a sinner. He said that if you would put your trust in Him that He would give you eternal Life.... Jim

Answer 2

Moral theology tells us that all who have lived according to their conscience (the voice of God) are saved by God's divine grace, even non believers. So all those who lived good lives and strove to do what was right.


***To Ray below me that is a complete misrepresentation of Catholic beliefs. I suggest you read Dignitatis Humane (the Church's declaration on religous freedom) and the Cathechism of the Catholic Church (particularly part 3 on Man's Freedom and Moral Conscience). Their documents on religious freedom, moral conscience and the santifying power of God's grace are the basis for what was written above.

Answer 3

Hello =)

The Buddha once said:

Some are reborn as humans, The Good go to heaven, the evil-doers go to hell. Only those who eliminate craving will know Nirvana (which is open to individual interpretation)...

That works for me....

Namaste, and Happy Holidays,

Answer 4

The question of death is closely tied to creation. How were we created? GEN.2:7
"AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE, AND MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING."

The Bible does not teach that God placed a soul in us at creation. It specifically states that God formed man(body) out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living soul(person or being).

Equation Form, body+breath= living soul.

Is the soul mortal or immortal? EZEK.18:4
"BEHOLD, ARE SOULS ARE MINE; THE SOUL OF THE FATHER AS WELL AS THE SOUL OF THE SON IS MINE; THE SOUL WHO SINS SHALL DIE."

"Mortal" means subject to death.
"Immortal" means not subject to death, imperishable.

Who only has immortality? 1TIM.6:15
",,,HE WHO IS THE BLESSED AND ONLY PONTENTATE, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, WHO ALONE HAS IMMORTALITY, DWELLING IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE, TO WHOM BE HONOR AND EVERLASTING POWER. AMEN."
******************************...
Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4).
No man is in heaven except for Jesus--JOHN 3:13; ACTS 2:34.
------------------------------...
The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 5

Those who trust in Jesus alone goes to Heaven the lost go to Hell.

Answer 6

nobody.

EDIT:
to JIM B and other truth haters.
I don't hate god, I can't hate what doesn't exist.
A question like this requires a FACT based answer, not a "spiritual" answer....Spirit is meaningless. I'm truly sorry if the truth is offensive to your delusion of god and a boring afterlife singing his eternal praises.

We also have heard you spout your nonsense over and over...and repetition doesn't make it any more factual...only evidence does. Which you lack.

All that is found in the bible is myth , hate and lies. God doesn't exist, Jesus likely didn't exist, but if he did, he was just a man like you whose been rotting in his unmarked grave for 2000 years.
Seasons' greetings to you just the same.

Answer 7

Catholics that go to confession and receive absolution from a priest before they die go to heaven. All other Christians - who knows? All non-Christians - well we all know the answer to that don't we?

Answer 8

True Christians Go to Heaven for sure.

ALL ELSE are IFFY , at best.

Answer 9

Heaven is God's home. Who do YOU invite into YOUR home? Friends? Or just anyone, even ppl who hate you?

Remember, we are made in God's Image. Does that answer your question?

Answer 10

The saints are in heaven. As for the rest, we can't know for sure.
