PREACHER:
"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." - Abraham Lincoln, American president (1809-1865).
"There is so much in the bible against which every insinct of my being rebels, so much so that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention." -Helen Keller, American lecturer

Uh oh, I think logic is headed this way... Um, right-got it.
The Dalai Lama can't go to heaven, but can't go to hell either. He's going to... limbo- yes limbo. Hellen Keller can go there too, because she never knew of god.
God Bless America- so Abraham Lincoln goes to heaven.
Voltaire goes to hell (for being French of course), where he briefly saw Gallileo before his upgrade to purgatory following the John Paul II apology on behalf of the Catholic Church.
Einstein is doing time in purgatory too... he would have normally gone to hell, but god threw him a bone for facilitating the eventuality of doomsday.
Yes, that is what I decree.

the concept that salvation is purely got here upon by Jesus is a concept it particularly is derived from the Vatican, no longer Christianity. Prayer to Jesus, opposite to familiar concept, isn't actual the only way into heaven. ordinarily this is by action and righteous deed. by ability of this the Dalai Lama is risk-free, being an extremely non violent and robust natured individual.

People don't "go" to Hell; they "choose" Hell. I don't think any of those whom you've mentioned would have chosen Hell...and neither would the Dalai Lama.
"Going to Hell" is simply consciously choosing to eternally separate yourself from God. Not many people do that.
The little secret is that one can avoid choosing Hell by trying to be a general-all-purpose good person. More people follow the teachings of Jesus ...perhaps even without knowing it... than one would think.
Uttering the words "I accept Jesus" and then spending the rest of your days robbing and murdering people doesn't gain you Heaven.

Do you know for a fact that the others you mention are in hell?
I am a Christian, and I wouldn't make a definitive statement like that.
The Dalai Lama is a man - not God.
We all have to answer to The God of the Universe when we die.
Only God knows what is truly in our hearts and holds us accountible.

I have no idea who will be in hell, or the lake of fire afterwards, or what they will talk about. But I do know that the central theme of the Holy Bible is that no man is good enough, we have all sinned. Jesus is the only way.
John 14:6

Abraham Lincoln and Helen Keller were Christians. Lincoln received Christ while in office. Keller received Christ by Divine inspiration. When Helen Keller was taught to palm sign she was asked if she knew Jesus. Her reply was that she had known Jesus for a long time. She remains an enigma to this day. When Lincoln died a bible was found in his coat pocket. You won't read about any of this in your standard history books because most historians are atheists.

Do you know what frightens me the most about people on this forum,how they are able to pass sentence on another and seemingly have the power of judgement over others,I think that I will leave judgement to the one who is authorized to do so,Jesus Christ.
