If you met God after you died and you found out that Christianity was actually a filter to keep people (more)?

Question

out of Heaven. What would you say to him? How would you explain your belief?

(And if you aren't able to answer this as a hypothetical, don't answer at all. Lots of atheists just answered See The Light's question for non-believers.)

Answer 1

I would say that if I, with all my faults and shortcomings, would have a perfect example, Jesus, and I would try to do what He asked me to do...and thatwas not the way after all, loving one another and sharing hope and mercy...I think that I would like to have another shot if I just knew what to do if I was wrong. Because I want to be with God.

That is what is so inviting to me in following Jesus, and not following any religion, that Jesus already did for me what I need for salvation. I cannot make it by my deeds or wisdom etc. He paid my ransom. I am not that smart, really, and I fall short royally, so I would never know when I have done enough. I am already beating myself over things I know I do wrong and over things that I think I might do wrong without knowing it. So to me Jesus is heaven on earth in Him I find my refuge.

I am required to do good but I am not saved for it. So I am asked to do good even though the way to salvation is made for me. If it would be about me, my deeds and knowledge, I would be in trouble. I am so happy to place my faith in Him who knows everything, knows everything about me and still loves me. I hope I make sense.

Answer 2

Everyone meets God when they die, it's called being Judged. Christianity isn't a filter that keeps some people out of heaven, it's the exact opposite. Without Christianity nobody would get in, with Christianity some get in.

Answer 3

Christianity is God-given religion. It is not what others think. Christianity dont make people more.God has already chosen exact number for heaven and for hell.Beyond that people cant do anything to change your destiny.If you are selected for His kingdom, then you will believe in Him in the future irregardless of you status of the present.It is not that you are good but by His grace whom he choces to be His before the world began.
There is no time to be an atheist. You are by destiny. Hope we may find and fulfill it. But worst is for them that is desyined for damnation.

Answer 4

Ask a religion based question and you are unlikely to get many good answers.

Seriously. Lets talk about pixies and ******* fairies instead.

I gotta say though, mate, your question was poorly worded indeed. It is not clear exactly what you mean, and you have therefore further reduced the chance of getting any decent answers.

Answer 5

God, why have you chosen to grant Heaven only to a small number, when your power could size Heaven infinitely?

Answer 6

there is much deception in the world ... since christianity comes from a belief in Jesus then there is nothing to explain because u wont get to heaven without faith in Gods Son ...

Answer 7

"Ah, up to the same trick you pulled on the Jews when they arrived in Isreal after the Exodus, huh? Letting them believe the land of milk and honey was theirs, then shutting them out at the end of the journey because they complained and some lost their faith.
Tricky, tricky. And mean, too."

Answer 8

DO you people read the bible???? If you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior and believe he died for our sins and confess that with your mouth you are saved and will have everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven!!!!!

Answer 9

Your question has no merit however I will entertain you. I would ask him if he currently has a lease plan so I could decide where to go once the lease ended.

Answer 10

i would say thank you for allowing me into Heaven
