think about it, a heaven full of evil people, thier own bible says on earth so it shall be in heaven, i mean think THAT over will ya? its basically saying, that people in thier earthly bodies dont change after they die, meaning the serial killer is still a serial killer, the rapist is the same etc.

And none of them will be found in Heaven if they don't repent and change their lives. God is not fooled by lip service. He knows the true heart of the man/woman. As far as that scripture you misquoted, maybe it would help if you didn't use it out of context. May God Bless U.

I think you have taken it out of context. The full phrase is "...Thy will be done (meaning God's will) on Earth as it is in Heaven...". This does not indicate that what is on Earth will be in Heaven persay. What it means is that as God's will is dictated and followed in Heaven, that it is also to be done on Earth. Free will gives us the option as to follow it or not. As for your "earthly bodies" statement, I have never read anywhere that a serial killer or rapist will be in Heaven as the "form" they were on Earth. You have not taken into consideration the words of Jesus in which he says that if you confess you are a sinner and believe, and then follow the teachings of Jesus via the written word, when you get to Heaven you will be transformed from the sinful to the 'holy'. Thus, no rapist or killer will be in Heaven. If they do not "get saved", using the more familiar phrase, they will not be in Heaven anyway, so you will have nothing to worry about. What body they will have in Heaven will only be known when they get there; all it I have ever interpreted it to mean is that the ailments of Earth will not follow it to Heaven, and that the "being" there will be "known". Beyond that, it is anyone's guess.

Heaven will be full of people who are saved by the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. All things will be made new, and the things that happened on earth will be remembered no more. We will have resurrected and perfected bodies, and we won't have a sin nature any more. Nothing evil or sinful is allowed to enter Heaven, so everyone there will have been purified of their sins.
Hell, on the other hand, will be full of every unforgiven and unpurified evil human being ever born. That's where you'll find the rapists, the murderers, drug dealers, the genocidal maniacs, and anyone else who rejected Christ as their Savior.
Heaven is going to be beautiful beyond all imagining and full of people who love God and love each other. The only way to get there is to accept Christ's atoning sacrifice for your sins. . .I hope you can put aside your bitterness and anger and come to know Him as your Savior.

Actually the scripture you are referring to has a different meaning. God is in complete control, whether it be in heaven or on earth. Have you never read that the evil and wicked people of this world will never inherit the kingdom of God?
How is it that you say rapists and murderers will be in heaven? Those words have no truth in them and they lead you down a wrong path. Repent of your deceptive ways and make a right judgment, giving God all the Praise and Glory.
Peace.

it will be earth, but it will be perfect. there is no sin in heaven, so even though a serial killer murdered on earth, if he repented for his sins and follows Christianity, he will be in heaven and it will be perfect. If you use the Bible to prove something, make sure you understand it.

Yes, I like that , Christians going to Heaven are a "GRAVE INJUSTICE".
In answer to your question; Those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and repented of our sins, are declared forgiven, justified and sanctified. Once one has given His life to Jesus. He is no longer guilty of being a serial killer, rapist, murderer, adulterer, fornicator, liar, thief or any of the other sinful acts that have been mentioned by God.

Heaven is not full of evil people! Why do you think there's a hell? If any people who were evil on this earth and are forgiven and make it to heaven, they are no longer evil or God would not have let them in. You don't understand what it means "On earth so it shall be in heaven" . Ask your pastor to explain it to you, if you have one.

I would hope that they would have repented if the Christian heaven is the case.
Can't you only enter heaven, in the Christian religion, if you are pure of heart, humble before God and truly repentant in your sins? If so - I doubt these people would still be who they were on earth.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be heaven, but a continuation of earthly life. So heaven would still not have been breached.

Sorry thats not what it says. We will have a glorified body just like Jesus did when he rose from the grave. When we get to heaven we will be changed (perfect).
