Okay. Now I know Christians are not supposed to judge. But I'd like you all to just go with this question.
BASED ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT TAKES TO ENTER INTO HEAVEN (ACCORDING TO THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE), WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD YOU ESTIMATE IS GOING TO HEAVEN?
Like i said, I know the Chrsitian answer is that we don't know the answer and only God knows. But put that aside for a second and take an educated guess please. If you DON'T WANT TO GIVE A NUMBER, DON'T ANSWER!!!Thanks.

Okay. So now my question is, God has made billions and billions of people, and the general consensus is that only 144,000 to 25% of the population is going to make it to heaven. Hmmm... what do u al think about that?

In the book of Revelation, John sees saints in heaven numbering ten thousand times ten thousand. Which is 100 million. So quite a lot. Probably more though.

Hmmm...1/3 of the Worlds Christian so only 1/3 are eligible for a Christian Heaven Minus all the Sinners...
That Equates to Squat then :)

Tough question to answer....percentage wise I would probably say of the entire world population maybe 65% might be going to Heaven. And this is a rough speculation. I really don't like to give a percent since I'm not one to judge on who goes to heaven and who doesn't. I will leave this one up to God but have a blessed day!

According to Revelation, 144,000 are going to heaven.
All other christians participate in the fulfillment of Psalm 37:29.

The number is the same a the number of people who will land on the planet Krypton, or the number of people who will visit Atlantis, or the number of people who will buy condos in Misty Magic Land - 0
One cannot reach fictional locations. You really ought to learn the difference between reality and fiction.

well the bible states that flesh and blood cannot inherit gods kingdom, only the 144,000 of Christ rulers will be allowed in heaven. no where in the bible does it give a number or suggest that anyone that dies will go to heaven, if so let me know.

I know that my husband and I are. So that is at least 2 people of the 144,000.

IF this is aimed at Christians, the only answer they can give is "not me," by definition of their religion. Any numerical number is comical. The idea of heaven is man-made nonsense..wishful thinking to avoid the actuality of death. Be real.
