Ok, so you die and go to heaven. Then let's say that when you get there, everybody is there. Buddist, Muslims, Taoist, Tribal Primitive Religious people, Hindus, and Atheist. God is there, welcoming you in. Now, everybody is there, are you happy everybody is there? Do you care that it didn't matter or are you happy for everybody?
I know, you don't believe the other people are going to make it, but that's not my question, answer my question. Thanks.

I'd be happy because I don't think anybody deserves to suffer for believing in the religion they've been raised to believe, but I'm not sure how happy they'd be. How would you feel if it turned out that Christianity was wrong and you ended up in some other religion's afterlife? I think it'd be a little disturbing to say the least.

Not meaning to quote Tupac here, but only God can judge. Only God knows the true reality of what is in someone's heart. I think that is what matters more than anything else. I actually do believe God uses people even though they do not believe in him or follow him through one of the Abrahamic Traditions. I'm not really concerned with who does and who doesn't get to heaven. I am more concerned with what I do with the life that I have right now. I am here on earth for a short time relatively speaking. I want to get to the end of my life and say that I accomplished something. I want to say that I know what it feels like to love another person, to make a difference in someone's life, to feel joy and happiness, to feel peace. I want to know that I did something while I was here and not regret the time that I spent. If everyone of different cultures and beliefs are in heaven, then I think it would simply confirm my beliefs about God and heaven. Without a doubt, yes, I would be happy for those around me.

I do not have a problem with other religions and I surely do not think that Christians are going to be the only ones there. I would be happy to see everyone in heaven! I am glad that it didn't matter and would hate to think of all those who did not make it. Religion to me is personal. I do not question the beliefs of anyone! As long as you as a person do not try to harm anyone, using your faith as an excuse, I see nothing wrong with a person believing something different from me. Diversity is the spice of life after all :)

I actually believe that this IS what will happen more or less. And to answer the question, I would be absolutely over-joyed.
This would mean that the spiritual lives and experiences of everyone on the planet were valid and meaningful whether they were mainstream evangelical experiences or not. That there never was any one special group who were the only ones that had God's grace and favor. And that everyone was able to find their way in there way in their own time.

There are still these christians that believe this bull.You know why? because they dont know the holy spirit.Everyone that wants to call him or herself a westerner,also wants to be called a christian, with no idea what it entails.The same as the so called muslims,they call themselves muslims ,because their countryfolks are.The so called christians, and the so called muslims then start a religious war , and the whole world thinks that it is a religion thing,but the true christians and the true muslims know the truth.The truth is,love conquers all

That's the way it'll be, I think. Everyone but the Atheists.
Now I'm not Atheist bashing. I just think that since they do not want to go to heaven, they won't. That'd be cramming religion down their throats, right? So they'll just go somewhere else. Maybe the Bermuda Triangle or something like that.
But, yeah, I'd be happy. No politicians. Or lawyers.

I marvel at the grace of God that any of us will be saved.
There will be some of all kinds.
Reason: the Bible clearly states (age of accountability) that if you have not heard the gospel, or if you are not able to understand the gospel---you are not held accountable for rejecting the gospel---therefore you are saved.
Hell will only be filled with those who know Whom and what they are rejecting. That is why "They are left without excuse." Righteously it can be no other way.

Well, it is hard to believe that some of the people that are viewed as some of the most evil people in history might go to Heaven, so normal people going to Heaven too might not be too hard to accept. It would be good to know that some of the people I know won't spend eternity in hell.

I will be glad that everybody is there. And I wouldn't care that it didnt matter. I think with all the different religions....I dont think that only ONE is the right way...and everybody else is wrong are going to hell. But to answer your question, No I wouldn't care.

I am the judge of no ones soul, that is for God. Whatever the Just and Holy God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, decides I am for.
(As you said however I do not believe this will be so, because the Bible...His word...says it will not be).
