Why doesn't God let everyone into heaven?

Question

I hear this question a lot. My answer would be that if God did then heaven would be just like heaven. God has set a standard, and one has to meet that standard. The bar is low can you jump it?

edit*

Heaven would be just like earth. sorry

Answer 1

Earth was a heaven. Then sin brought death, and now we have a choice. God says that you can not serve two masters, so if you dont go serve god, you have to go serve satan (your master). Its pretty simple. God is rightous, so he can not accept sin. The wages of sin is death. God gives mercy to his servants.

Answer 2

This question made me smile because it reminded me of an elderly aunt I had as a child who used to observe peoples behavior and say "Now why would God let that into heaven?" Her neighbors were very messy, with old cars and other types of junk all over the yard. She used to say that if they went to heaven there would always be junk falling on peoples heads. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

To answer you question There is no need for everyone to go to heaven since the purpose for those who do go is reign as kings and priest with Christ over the earth, where the majority of faithful mankind will receive their reward of everlasting life.(Revelation 14:1,Revelation 20:4, Psalms 37:9,11,29)

Answer 3

The Kingdom of Saints are those who keep the Laws of Yahweh.

Revelation 22:12-14—
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My re­ward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Begin­ning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.


The Kingdom of Saints are those who do not let men or man’s religions of and by the people deceive them.

I Yahchanan 3:4-10—
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.
5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.
6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin; who­ever sins, has not seen Him, neither knows Him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whoever is begotten of Yahweh does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him; and it is possible for him not to sin, because he has been begotten of Yahweh.
10 In this the children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of Yah­weh, and he does not love his neighbor.

The Laws of Yahweh is the Key to the Kingdom. You're right for 2000 christianity as proven that it does not work and is responsible for the diseases and soon total destruction.

Answer 4

He is a just God. It's kinda like if you murdered someone and the judge just let you go. He would'nt be a very just judge would he? If he let everybody go into heaven, what was the point of him dying on the cross? That would allow even satan to get back in!

Answer 5

Because sin when it entered the world, also entered people. When cannot be perfect; however, we can make a request to God that we be forgiven and then confess our sins to Him. That process is called "spiritual rebirth." God can only let the spiritually reborn into heaven. That is the only difference. It is not that one person is better than other. Being a Christian means that you have experienced a spiritual rebirth and then the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and dwell in you and slowly God teaches you how to live and receive peace, happiness, love and joy.

Answer 6

So God cannot create a Heaven for everyone? Sounds limited.

Answer 7

Their is 2 things that God cannot do. 1.) God cannot sin (against God Nature). 2.) God cannot allow sin into heaven. That's why Jesus died on the cross was for all man kind sin's. Jesus was God was perfect no sin. Only a sinless person could sacrifice his life for all mankind. Since Jesus was 100% God and 100% man he filled that role for us. The only thing that mankind has to do is recognize that he is a sinner ask for forgiveness of all his sin's believe in Jesus Christ has his lord and savior. It has to come from your heart that you believe who Jesus said he was. Its by your faith in Jesus Christ that saves you.

Answer 8

it is not God that shuts the door to heaven, for in actuality there on no account develop right into a "door." that's the human suggestions, or theory of self, that sentences guy to go through until eventually the final farthing has been paid. The question is, whilst will guy decide a thank you to stay, unfastened from the regulation of sin and dying?

Answer 9

You seem to have a good answer already. I completley agree with you. God does have certain standards on which he judges people. Long story short : good people go to heaven, bad go to hell. People actually use phrases like that in their everyday lives without realizing. It's like the sub consience knows that there must be a punishment for bieng "bad".
It's also in all logic. There are consequences for every action. Basically, those are God's rules. It wouldn't make sence for a priest/holy religous man and a murderer to both end up in heaven in the end!

Answer 10

Having died and gone to heaven/paradise, and spoken to those who have died and gone to hell, I think if such a place exist, either one, then why it does is to keep the world from turning worst than it already is. Believing in heaven or hell, keeps people, from doing bad things, gives them hope, peace, maybe makes them turn their life around thus helping society, if everyone would believe in heaven and hell and really think about the end of their life and where they will go, maybe this world of ours would be a better place, but, to answer you question in a nutshell, it keeps people all over the world safe, because, there are people who don't care about anyone or anything, and do things so bad, hurt others, do things, steal, lie, rape, kill, all these things should have a condition to them, if you do good you will end in the right place, heaven if you choose the wronge life, you go to hell, but, I do believe people can change, and I don't think God, just automatically says you are going to hell. I think it all comes down to if you turn your life over to him, he will guide you and thus you can choose.
