Isn't God a nice guy for only letting Christians into Heaven?

Question

I mean think about it. Look at all the scientific evidence God gives to let us know for sure which religion is the true one.

Christianity was scientifically proven to be true years ago, yet literally billions of people still stubbornly believe in the wrong version of God. Hindus and Muslims and everyone else that worships the wrong version will have to burn in Hell FOREVER because they refuse to accept the scientific evidence.

God is ALL POWERFUL, PERFECT, and FAIR and he knows the future.

It doesn't matter how good of a person you are, if you do not believe in the correct version of God, you will burn FOREVER. God does not want you to go to Hell, but he is FORCED to send you there. He has NO choice. He is POWERLESS to do anything about it. When he created you he knew that you would die without becoming a Christian and thus burn in Hell FOREVER. No flaws in logic there. Agree?

Answer 1

He is just in who He saves!

He provided a way to be saved. But if you don't believe in Him, WHY should you be saved?

Answer 2

Hi, I am a Christian student of the manuscripts - Lets be realistic: Do you think God is gonna be real happy with Bob? Probably not. However: God knows the heart, where man does not. Thats why we can't be good judges. Lets say there is something all of us don't know about Bob: Bob was abused horribly at the hands of his own mother and father who were devoutly religious people, and who were great figures in their church and community. Little Bob had nobody to turn to - who would believe him? After years of abuse Bob ended up hating everything that has a tag called "religion" on it. Bob hates God because all he knows is that he was never helped by God, all those nights that he cried out and wasn't heard - all that pain. Now you and I don't know what the purpose was for little Bob having gone throught that horror, and we certainly don't know the thoughts or will of God in all things. But would you blame Bob, who is now all grown up, and walks around with the physical and mental scars that remind him everyday that God didn't rescue him? Well, God knows how Bob feels; God knows Bobs heart. Yes, very possibly Bob will not only go to Heaven, but perhaps be in the very arms of a comforting Christ.

Answer 3

A perfect example of flawed human reasoning and ignorance of Scripture. The evidence for creation and a creator are all around us, from the intricate design of the smallest amoeba to the largest of animals, all speak of specific design, and a designer. DNA molecules are information systems, information can only deride from a greater source of information, we say it is God, what say you?
No belief system can be proven using scientific methods of proving, testing, retesting, falsification, observation, etc.. this is a straw man. The method used is a legal method, that is, gathering the available evidence and deciding which way the balance tips. When you have men writing of the life of Christ, His death and resurrection, who have witnessed these events and proven themselves to be credible witnesses, when you have Paul, a man who encountered Christ, whose life was turned upside down by this, who rejected his former life as a Pharisee in order to proclaim Christ, and suffered mightily for it, when you have millions of people who died for their faith, not in hope of gaining a reward in Heaven, but simply because they refused to bow their knee to the pagan, Roman gods, when you have an empty tomb that still cries out today, that has yet to be logically explained away, and if Christ had not been raised, it would have been easy for the Jews or Romans to produce the body and crush Christianity from the beginning, they couldn't do it, the body wasn't there, it is adequate proof that it is more than wishful thinking or something made up in their minds. You may say the apostles stole the body, yet no one dies for what they know to be a lie. It would have been reasonable if it be not true, for one of them, at least one, to renounce it to save their lives, none did.
God saves whom He chooses to save. He is not obligated to do it, He does not have to save anyone. If God were "fair", all of us would die in our sins and face eternal judgment. Out of grace, love and mercy, He chooses out some for salvation. He is the potter, we are the clay. He can pretty much do what He wishes with His creation. Only those whom God gives the faith to believe, the eyes to see, the ears to hear, will believe. All others will go merrily dancing down the road the destruction, and God is perfectly fine with that. It does not diminish His deity that some are allowed to perish and face their eternal fate.
You base your words on flawed, human thinking, so it is no wonder you don't "get it", you can do no other.

Answer 4

Catholics would disagree with you.

The Catholic Church believes that those who die never hearing of Christ but have sought the truth and does the will of God as they understand it can be saved. See Romans 2:13-16.

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1257-1261: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2.htm#art1

The Catholic Church teaches:

+ About Judaism: "The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

+ About Islam: The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.

+ About other non-Christian religions: All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city.

+ The Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 839 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p3.htm#839

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

That's one hell of a statement. Most of it quite bemusing, bizarre and untrue, Of course Christianity has not been scientifically proved to be true; nor do people go to hell because they don't believe this 'evidence'. There is no correct version of God and he is not forced to send you to hell. You say he is all powerful then contradict yourself by saying he is powerless to do anything about . What a load of twaddle.

Answer 6

Nah. No problem with that logic. Surely it's only RIGHT that God should grant us His UNCONDITIONAL love, on CONDITION we worship Him.

But on a more serious note, should we really be taking the p*ss? It's only gonna be given back again, and the ball gets a-rollin'.

I don't wanna witness the next holy war. It tends to be mostly Christian countries that have nukes, and I don't fancy getting cooked in ten years time for the sake of a good laugh tonight.

May peace go with you throughout your life

Answer 7

Incorrerct. God draws people from every nation, tribe, and tongue to himself. Being in a different country or of a different religion is not a barrier to God. Followers of Jesus come from all over and from many different beliefs.

Answer 8

Yeah, no flaw in logic with this one too.
Humans eat cheese.
Humans can go to the moon
The moon is made of Swiss cheese.
Therefore, the Swiss went to the moon & we can eat the moon.
No flaws in logic there.
Here's another one:
Poison kills.
Honey is poisonous.
You drink honey.
Therefore, you will die.

Answer 9

God does know when we are going to die just as he knew when we were going to be born it's up to us to do with the life He gave us God didn't give us religion we did He just sent Jesus down with His message...you take it anyway you want to....

Answer 10

You are incorrect in assuming that Christianity preaches that all Christians will go to heaven. Yes, we believe that we are saved from judgement and condemnation because Christ died for our sins.

But, that doesn't necessarily mean that you can be a christian and live a crappy life, and still expect to go to heaven.

Answer 11

Surely a joke, but another example of how easy it is to come off sounding like an authentic Christian when you're only being sarcastic.
