If someone is a rapist, murderer, thief, just totally horrible. Can the still get in Heaven?

Question

This horrible person realizes that he's about to die so he drops to his knees and says the Lord's Prayer, will he be accepted? Because it obvious he just using it as an "insurance policy". Someone told me you can get into heaven if you truly don't want to be in hell. How fair is that if its true? So is it how you live? Or how scared you are at the end of your life?

I don't know if I neccessarilly beleive in Hvn or Hell but its an interesting thought notheless.

People are saying he wouldn't be accepted because its not from the heart. But it is, he really doesn't want to go to Hell.

Answer 1

No, because Heaven doesn't exist. Hell doesn't exist, either. God and the Devil are superstitions.

Answer 2

howdy Merlin's Beard, Woooowa! not so rapid. Which Bible have you ever been examining? enable's get issues into attitude right here. Atheists are comparable to everybody else on the planet - all of us desire regeneration. without it we stay lifeless in our trespasses and sins. extremely surely i'm a tad bit uninterested in listening to persons come out with this 'i've got not finished something which could be seen sinful' stuff. Even Bible believing Christians get carry of warnings approximately sin and the wages of it. The Holy Bible never says that sodomites, murderers, thieves, rapists and so on. will inherit the dominion Of God, yet incredibly the opposite, no count if or not they confess Christianity or not. the challenge with sinfulness is not any count if or not we repent (turn remote from). If we repent, and undergo God with the aid of Christ, and hence obey the command to be baptized by finished immersion so as that God can do an operation upon our inner being and cleanse us from sin and enable us to stroll in newness of existence in Christ, THEN we at the instant are not from now on any of people who you suggested on your record. particular for the repentant there is salvation. An atheist needs to repent additionally, incredibly of denying the existence of Almighty God.

Answer 3

Saying the model prayer never saved anyone. God judges the heart, not the lips of the person. If a person is truly repentant, then God will forgive him and save him. Jesus saved the repentant thief on the cross because that thief had truth and love in his heart and was sorrow for his life of crime. The other thief was sarcastic and he is headed for hell. Jesus will forgive any sin accept blaspheming of the Holy Spirit, which is rejection of the Holy Spirit's witness of Christ to men. There are many, many people on Y/A who are blaspheming the Holy Spirit and they had better repent or they will face eternity in hell. I did not make the rules----God did.If you do not like the rules, then please address your complaints to him. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Answer 4

Your friend is confused and does not know the Bible, not only that but this friend may get a surprise although not necessarily a nice one.

Most religions do teach, that bad people will go to a fiery Hell of eternal torture Hell Do you know that even Good people go to Hell when they die? Hell is really just the common grave of mankind,
Have you ever seen someone tortured? Hopefully not! Deliberate torture is sickening and abhorrent. What, though, of torture inflicted by God?Can you imagine such a thing? Yet this is exactly what is implied by the teaching of Hell an official doctrine of many religions.
Imagine for a moment,the following horrific scene:A person being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens. The torture goes on and on, hour by hour, day by daywithout any pause!Whatever chrime the victim may have committed, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person? In no way!Love is mercyfull and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would never torture them!
Nevertheless, many religions teach that God tortures sinners in endlesshellfire. This is claimed, is devine justice. If thatis true,who created that terrible place of eternal torment? And who is responsible for the excruciating agonies inflicted there? The answer would seem obvious. If such a place really exists, then God would have to be the creator of it, and he would be responsible for what happens there.
Can you accept that? The Bible says:"God is Love"(1John4:8)Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans with any measure of decency find revolting? Surely not! Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented for ever. Is this teaching logical? The human life span is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if someone perpetrated Extreme wickedness for his entire lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment? No it would be grossly unjust to torment a person forever for the limited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.
Who knows the truth about what happens after we die?
Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so, in his written word the Bible.Here is what the Bible says:"As the[beast]dies, so the[man]dies; and they all have but one spirit......All are goingto one place.They have allcome from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.another point here I would like to bring out is:The earth was not created simply for nothing(Isaiah45:18) the earth was created by God for humans to live on not for them to be on earth for a short time then go on to another place to live.Psalm(37: 11,29 ; Matthew5:5

Answer 5

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)

Answer 6

No, one can not go to heaven after performing several bad deeds just because of one prayer.

When one dies, the physical body remains on earth while the subtle body travels to a subtle plane depending on its merits or sins and its spiritual level. The subtle body becomes heavy due to sins and excessive ego and as a result gets stuck in lower subtle planes of existence such as the nether world. If the sins are intense then the subtle body goes to hell.

On the other hand, the subtle body becomes lighter due to good deeds (merits) and the intensity of spiritual practice. The higher the spiritual level, the lighter the subtle body and faster the progress during its sojourn.

After death, those whose spiritual practice is not intense, get stuck in the nether region. A seeker's subtle body crosses the nether region immediately due to the lightness of the subtle body as a result of spiritual practice and goes to higher subtle regions of existence such as heaven (Swargloka).

However the subtle body without the strength of spiritual practice remains in the subtle nether region and has to undergo the distress there. It doesn't gain momentum (gati) because it lacks spiritual energy and purity (sattva predominance) and hence is stuck in the heavy atmosphere of the subtle nether region.

Answer 7

If someone is that horrible, they disappear into nothing-ness when they die. There is nothing that can ever rectify what they have done. If you are any of the above, the last thing you are going to even think of is praying for forgiveness. Why the &%$ would they go to heaven?! That alone is the dumbest idea I have ever heard. Their soul is so evil that it consumes everything around them.

Answer 8

I think also it is interesting to think about that.

So I think, if you a man who has done nothing else except bad things and you are going to die, so you pray for the last time. And your pray came from your hearth, so I think "god" can decide whether you are going to hell or heaven. But if you know this trick and you do your whole life bad things and you try to use this trick, before you die. So I think you will definitely go to hell, because your pray does not came from your heart and you also tries to trick "god", so I think god will not forgive this"cheating"

This is my opinion...

Answer 9

I don't believe that a person can do it like that

the road map to becoming a Christian is:
Hear the Word
Beleive the Word
Admit you are a sinner
Repent of those sins
BE BAPTISED!!
Live a Faithful life

A person can't do all this in the last moment of life

so....IMO.....the way I understand what God is telling us thru the Bible.....this person will not make it

And I pray that you can change you mind someday and believe

Answer 10

Good and evil people don't actually exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like bush and bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush is seen as good by people who share his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often see him as evil.

Bin laden is much the same. He is a villain in much of the western world, but he is somewhat of a celebrated pop star on the Middle East. There are T-shirt shops that sell items with his picture as though he was Jesus. It all depends on your point of view or perspective.

To sum it all up good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like.

Evil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like.

This is of course based solely on our particular point of view.

Whatever one reaps one gets, that is law of nature. Heaven or hell r result of it. However every one has a potential to know self after cleansing itself.
