Do you believe all roads lead to Heaven?

Question

Would the Dali Lama not go to Heaven because he is not a Christian?

What about all the countless people who have never heard of Jesus?

Answer 1

actually the 'road' to heaven is a straight and narrow path.

I can't speak for God on the issue of the Dali Lama or the countless of persons who have not heard of Jesus... I would leave that entirely (and rightfully) up to the Holy Spirit to deal with.


blessings :)

Answer 2

1. No I do not believe that.
2. No the Dali Lama will not go to heaven and yes it is because he is not a Christian.
3. The countless people who have never heard of Jesus will have their day in court before the Great White Throne (check out the Book of Revelation)

Do you have any other inane questions?

Answer 3

No: Enter in at the Narrow Gate; for wide is the gate,and broad is the way, that leads to destruction,and many there be who go in that Way. Because Narrow is the Gate and hard is the way which leads unto Life, and few there be that find it.
Following Jesus Christ "the Way" is not for the faint of Heart.
The larger part of Humanity is going with the Flow.Not so
with those that seek God with all their Heart. Matt: 7:13 -14
as to the Dali-Lama His words while living will determine His
Eternal Home .The third question you asked is not for a Mortal to answer.

Answer 4

Not according to God's perfect Word. There are two roads (paths). Jesus is the WAY, the truth and the life. He is our path to Heaven. If we do not choose Jesus, we are choosing the other master who is satan who leads people to hell. Anyone, including Dali Lama who does not follow the WAY (Jesus) will not go to be with God/Jesus to Heaven. The people who are unaware of Jesus will be judged accordingly. The Bible says we will be judged according to what we know (not exact words). God bless

Answer 5

I believe the only way into Heaven is love. Jesus is love itself and he is the only way. Jesus died and paid for the sins of those who have never heard of him too. God will judge their hearts like he does for everyone else. He will look at every little detail of their lives and will judge fairly depending on what they went through in their lives. They are not doomed to hell. God is not unfair at all. Even though people die without knowing God they can still be saved.

Answer 6

All roads do NOT lead to God (or heaven).
John 14:6
Jesus said* to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
Acts 4:12
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

God's witnesses are responsible to get the word out, to be witnesses!
Ezekiel 33:6 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.'
Ezekiel 33:8 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand."

When President Grant made a three month state visit to Japan in the 1860's, was there no Christian in his entourage capable of witnessing to Emperor Meijii? At the end of the Samarii period, the Emperor (Meijii) considered converting to Christianity. Was there no one to lead him to the Lord? Where were the Christian witnesses?
If Emperor Meijii had converted, Japan would have followed in his path. Emperor Meijii's son, Emperor Showa (Hirihito) would have converted too; Tojo would never have come to power, the Sino-Japanese wars would not have occured, the rape of Nanking would not have occured, Pearl Harbor would not have happened, WW II (in the Pacific) would not have occured. No Guadicanal. No Iwo Jima. No fire-bombing of Japanese cities; no Nuking of Hirshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands of lives LOST, LOST!! Countless souls swept out into eternity without Jesus. O, why?

In the late 1940's there was a young Cuban man in New York University who was on the baseball team. Where was the Christian witness that could have lead Fidel Castro to Jesus? The Cuban revolution would never have happened, the Bay of Pigs would not be a sad memory. There would not be any "boat people" desperately trying to reach American shores for freedom from persecution and horrid economics. Where was the Christian who failed to witness to Fidel Castro?

Mohammed lived in a Christian town 600 years after Jesus. Where were the preachers of the Christian churches in his home town when he was an impressionable child, a youth? The Cruades and the invasions could have been avoided altogether. How much blood shed could have been avoided then, AND NOW?

What about all the people who never heard of Jesus????
What about all the Christians who did not carry out the Great Commission?
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Acts 1:8
"... but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

There are many Christians in history who will have blood on their hands, blood of generations of people who never heard because some Christian was disobedient to the command of Jesus, their LORD!!

Jesus says "Go!"
We want to say "Stay."
Jesus says "Witness!"
We want to say "I can't," like Moses.
Ezekiel 33:7
"Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me."

What about you?
Will you obey the command of Jesus?
Mark 1:15
... , "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

Answer 7

Do you believe all roads lead to heaven?
No, this is impossible. The major religions have serious conflicts with each other, and in some cases it is impossible for both to be right. Therefore, there has to be one that is right.

Would the Dali Lama not go to heaven because he is not a Christian?
If you believe in the Christian faith (I do) then it is true the Dali Llama will not go to heaven. The only requirement for going to heaven is accepting the gift of eternal life thru Jesus. Just because he is "wise" and is highly respected, it doesn't exclude him from needing Jesus.

As for those who have never heard of Jesus, here is a little something i found online. It does the best job I've seen in explaining something a bit complicated. I guess it's just something we'll have to find out when we get there...

What happens to those who never hear about Jesus?
The Bible doesn't teach that everyone who never has the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ will be automatically saved from condemnation. Yet neither does it teach that those who don't hear have no chance of finding God.

The Bible tells us the following about God's character and judgment:

God loves everyone [1] and would like for everyone to be saved [2]
God values mercy [3]
God takes a person's knowledge into account when judging them [4]
God judges people as individuals [5]
In order to be saved, a person must have faith in God.[6] How can someone who's never heard of God believe in him? The answer is that God has planned things so that everyone has access to some knowledge of him, through nature and conscience as well as other means.[7] (For more on how these clues can lead to knowledge of God, see How can faith be rational?)
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:26-27)
There are at least a couple instances in the Bible of the unevangelized coming to faith in God. Rahab believed in God after hearing reports of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, which was probably the most she had heard about God.[8] Cornelius, a first-century Gentile who had been exposed to Judaism, believed in God and had a relationship with him despite not having heard of Jesus. In fact, God told Cornelius to seek out Peter so that he would hear the gospel.[9]
This doesn't mean that everyone will be saved. Those who are aware of Christianity's message must choose to accept Jesus Christ as their God and Savior in order to be saved, for not doing so is an explicit rejection of God's forgiveness.[10] What it does mean is that God is both just and merciful. He condemns wrongdoing, but gives everyone a chance to repent and doesn't condemn people for things which are truly outside their control.

Answer 8

I don't believe in heaven, so no.
Some roads lead to Denver. Denver is not heaven. Some lead to Seoul, New York, Milan, Rome, Istanbul, Prague, Madrid, Mexico City, Tokyo, Sidney and many other places, but none of these are heaven.

When you die, there is no heaven. A resting place perhaps, but no place where all one does is bow and worship some god to satisfy his ego for eternity.

A vain god simply doesn't make sense. Nor does the idea of any heaven; exclusive or not.

Answer 9

No, if all roads lead to Heaven then Jesus came to earth for nothing. The Bible is quite clear.

1. ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.
2. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father apart from Him.

Maybe the Dali Lama was a good guy. But do you think that in his entire life he never told a lie? Do you think that he never did anything wrong from the day he was born?

If someone lives a perfect life but they break one law and get arrested the judge can't let them off because of all of the good things that they have done. He has to uphold the law and pass sentence on them. God has made the laws and He is the one who says that there is only one penalty and that is eternal separation from his Holy presence. But because of his love for us He sent his one and only son Jesus to die a humiliating death in our place.

Answer 10

Most do not go to heaven..the earth was made for man

Jesus hand picked 144,000 to rule with him as kings and lords over the earth.
the rest of mankind will possess the earth

If everyone went to heaven no matter what they did...why would there be any rules? laws? commandments?

We have to find God...put faith in him...do his will...and then stay on the narrow road till the end to be saved.
