So if only Christians get to go to heaven, all the Jews murdered by the Nazis are in hell? So is Ganhdi?

Question

Is this true Christians?

I have seen some great points already, including my favorite-the Jews go to hell, but the Nazis go to heaven. Please Christians explain?

Answer 1

And if the Nazis were Christians, they're also in heaven!

Answer 2

Ever heard of the Resurrection?

I suppose you have let the non scriptural teachings of Christendom affect you too even though you obviously are not a Christian.....especially with that absolutely awful screen name.
With a name like that you better hope there is no Jesus first which is pretty ridiculous since he is a historical figure....isn't our gregorian calender is based on the year of his birth....yeah, I would change that unless you like suprises.

Ever read the Bible? Ever think that the teaching of Hellfire is not even compatible with God's thinking?

I mean, think here........... A human lives 70 years and never becomes a follower of Christ so instead of just dying and ceasing to exist (which is Scriptural) he is thrown into a hellfire to suffer torment forever?? Hello?

No wonder nominal Christians look confused....and they are paying a preacher to teach them this stuff?

"For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun." -Ecclesiasties 9:5-6

"Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." -Ezekiel 18:4

{Or, “The soul that is sinning is the one that will die.” Heb., han·ne′phesh ha·cho·te’th′ hi’ tha·muth′}

Regarding the Resurrection of the dead:

The evidence in the Bible record reveals that when Abraham attempted to offer up his son Isaac he had faith in God’s ability and purpose to raise the dead. And as stated at Hebrews 11:17-19, he did receive Isaac back from the dead “in an illustrative way.” (Ge 22:1-3, 10-13) Abraham had a basis for faith in a resurrection because of God’s promise of the “seed.” (Ge 3:15) Also, he and Sarah had already experienced something comparable to a resurrection in the revitalizing of their reproductive powers. (Ge 18:9-11; 21:1, 2, 12; Ro 4:19-21) Job expressed similar faith, saying, in his intense suffering: “O that in Sheol you would conceal me, . . . that you would set a time limit for me and remember me! If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? . . . You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.”—Job 14:13-15.

Answer 3

Jesus did not come to destroy Judaism, He came to fulfill it. God called the Hebrew* peoples His chosen people, and He has not changed His mind. So I do not see how any person who truly follows the Hebrew faith but has not accepted Jesus as their saviour would be condemned to Hell. As for Ghandi (note correct spelling) I do not know - I have no say in it so I leave it to God - "Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do good?" (Genesis 18:25)

* I refuse to use the word "Jew" as it has become a label, and has frequently been used in a hightly negative way. That is why I use "Hebrew", to sound more respectful. I apologise if it causes any offense - that was definitely not my intention.

Answer 4

My religion, Roman Catholicism, teaches something called "baptism by desire."

Basically it means that non-Catholics, and even non-Christians, can still possibly enter Heaven -- if they make a sincere effort to find God and live a reasonably moral, Christ-like life as much as possible.

So, no, the Jewish victims of the Holocaust are not in hell just because they were Jewish.

As for Gandhi, I can't imagine him not meeting the Church's "baptism by desire" requirements. He truly and sincerely sought God, and in many ways was more Christ-like than most Christians are, including me.

Answer 5

One of my many problems with Christianity's doctrine of Salvation by Grace through Faith. If this doctrine is held to be true, then all Nazis who accepted Christ will be in Heaven, while all Jews, although righteous, will be in Hell, for not accepting Christ.

Answer 6

Jews do go to heaven. They had a covenant with God long before Christians(I'm a Christian). They are grandfathered in.

Answer 7

yes christians do go to heaven if they have asked God to become their savor and really excepted him in thier hearts and have turned away from their sins. i dont know where the jews and ghandi are becasue if they excepted jesus into their hearts and got saved then they might be in heaven.

Answer 8

Did you know these people individually? Who knows a heart but God. God alone sees the heart and knows all those that are His.
Why trouble yourself with God's work. Just make sure you know Him yourself. Because if you come to know Him I can imagine the creator of the world will know that. What do you say? Enough of your madness!! Get wisdom get knowledge! God's wisdom God's knowledge. The only way you can have it is to come to Him on bended knees and with a repenting heart asking Him to be merciful to you a sinner and believe in your heart by faith that He has heard you and has saved you.

Answer 9

According to the christians, yep. See ya there.

I think they'd be in heaven, though, if an all-loving God exists.

Answer 10

They'd say 'if you didn't accept Jesus as Lord and saviour, then it's too bad!' Sounds pretty harsh to me! I don't see why God would only allow those who accepted jesus, into heaven! It doesn't sound fair to me, if you were absolutely godly and humble but didn't accept jesus as saviour, then it's tough luck?? wow
