Do Priests who molested children go to Heaven when they die?

Answer 1

They will face the judgment seat of God like everyone else. How God will judge them is not our concern. Let's leave that to God. We should be concerned about our own salvation.

Peace and blessing!

Answer 2

If a priest has never accepted Christ as His Lord and Savior, he won't be in heaven no matter what else he did or didn't do. If a Priest who has accept Christ as Savior has sinned whether by molesting children or any other sin, and has repented, then yes he will be in heaven.

Answer 3

Depends on if they have asked forgiveness and even then probably not without a long stay in Purgatory. Just a guess mind you. But that is such a small percentage a child is more likely to be molested by a family member or a teacher.

Answer 4

Stinking bastard noncing preists who mess around with kids in a nonexistent god's house and your pathetic clown of a God does nothing about those attrocities being committed in his name and in his house and you freaks think that is alright? Christians are the worst type of person on the planet I thought it was Muslim's but you scum take first prize. No one goes to heaven because it is all lies. Terrible idiots are the only ones who believe this crap and noncing priests deserve to be burnt alive. If I had my way I would purge the world of the desease known as religion that harms this planet in a way that nothing else can. Disgusting freaky lying bastards the lot of you. You religious people make me sick.

Answer 5

According to the Bible all you have to do is ask Jesus for forgiveness and you'll go to Heaven. That means Heaven would be full of rapists, serial killers, child abusers, George Bush, etc.

I'm so glad I'm an atheist.

Answer 6

He did say priests "who" molest meaning not all of them do. Those that do, I don't think they will go. Its kind of like rape, which is sexuality, and I know they aren't married with the kid to its adultery. So no.

Answer 7

What line of work are you in? Are you a priest hoping to find his/her way? I hope that you find it soon. By the way, I have a few suggestions. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

Answer 8

I can not believe that someone who did this to an innocent child would still go to heaven simply for repenting and asking for forgiveness.

If hell exists they should go there and get red hot pokers shoved up their bottoms for all eternity.

Answer 9

Actually, no one goes to heaven when they die. When a person dies, they are asleep in the grave until Christ returns. Then those who loved Him and accepted Him as Savior will be raised and go to heaven.

Hell comes later for those who have refused God's loving advances and mistreated others...especially those who have misused their authority in the name of God.

Be careful of your attitude...that's another criterion for hell.

Answer 10

Everyone who repents with perfect contrition goes to Heaven.
