Heaven or hell if it's 50 to 50?

Question

If a man dies when had commited 50% of good and 50% of evil during his life, is he going to the heaven or to the hell?

Answer 1

Depends on your religion. I happen to not believe in Hell. Thank God for being raised a Jehovah's Witness. :-)

Answer 2

I don't believe there is either a "heaven" or a "hell." There is also a SPECTRUM in between. Commiting 50% of the time evil is however a lot. It would also depend on what "evil" has been done. In most relgions things are quickly placed in the context of being evil, which I would more describe as doing wrong.

Answer 3

Going to heaven is based on whether or not you accepted Jesus as your savior, that he died on the cross for your sins, and that you repented from your sin. If a man does evil for 99% of his life but at the end of his life he repents from his sin and receives Jesus then he will go to heaven. If a man does 100% good during his life but doesn't receive Jesus and thinks he's good enough to get into heaven on his own he will go to hell. What God thinks is good and evil and what men think are good and evil are sometimes different. I personally side with God.

Answer 4

Man likes to think that way,then he could be part of his salvation.
The only mention of works and reward is to a person that has accepted Christ Blood as cover for Sin.This award ceremoney,will take place in Heaven while seven years of Judgement is carried out on Earth.Believers do a lot of works
the motives may not necessary be pure.
The Judgement at the end of 1000 yr Reign of Christ on this Earth from temple mount .,is called Great White throne Judgement_---No Believer will stand there,It is for the Wicked of all ages---all cast into eternal separation from God _

Answer 5

That is not how the decision is made! good works alone will not get you to heaven! they are good but IT WILL NOT GET YOU TO HEAVEN! you need to ask Jesus into your life, heart and soul and believe he died for you! if you do, then you will go to Heaven, if you choose not to, and still do good works then you will not go to heaven! even if you do 90% good works and 10% evil!

! we all fall short of God's glory (which proves we can't get to heaven by good works), thats why he sent us a savior, his son to pay for our sins!

hope this helps!

Answer 6

Heaven and Hell aren't as simple as they're made out to be. There are degrees of both. One can also move from place to place based on what one does in the spirit realm.

Answer 7

we won't be judjed based on the number of sins.

Romans 6:23
For the wages which sin (no matter how many or how few)pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord.


Matthew 23:33
You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell (Gehenna)?
[to suffer does not suggest unconciousness]

Answer 8

Our good works are as filthy rags to God who is sinless. Who is good? No one, "All sin and fall short of the glory of God.We are all evil! If we sin once we are 100% sinful=evil. We are only saved from hell by God's grace (gift) through our faith in Jesus the christ:
Romans 4: 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."[a]
4Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. 5However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7"Blessed are they
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8Blessed is the man
whose sin the Lord will never count against him."
Romans 11: 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace (gift). 6And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.[a]

Answer 9

Romans 10:
Jesus is the only way to salvation.The most outwardly good person could find himself (and his self-righteousness in hell).A "horrible" sinner that accepts Jesus and has his sins forgiven by accepting Jesus will go to heaven to be with Jesus.
The thief on the cross ask Jesus to remember him.Jesus told him He would be with Him.
The Pharisees who lived strictly (as a man could) by the law and man's traditions were condemned by Jesus.
If youask Jesus to forgive you of all your sin He will.(click my avator for more bible verses)

Answer 10

I know. Let's toss a coin. Or play rock-paper-scissors. Or high-card draw.

There is no heaven or hell. Your game of chance is only about how long someone lives, not what happens after they've turned into sacks of chemical goo.
