so, Bible-fundies, if I repent and acknowledge Jesus as my savior, I will go to heaven?

Question

regardless of the sins I committed? what about the victims of the consequences of my actions? those will be forgotten?

also, are you saying that Hitler is in Heaven too, in case he repented and acknowledge Jesus as his savior? what about the people he killed? where is justice for those people? would God turn a blind eye on what Hitler did in case Hitler repented? is that how justice will be served?


NOTE: this is a hypothetical question.

Answer 1

God knows the issues of the heart.

Answer 2

No.
and this is NOT a hypothetical answer.

Only a very small number have a heavenly future, regardless of what you have been told.

Revelation 7;4...14;1 and

(Revelation 20:4-5) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
(Revelation 14:3) And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth.

These is the only scriptures that mentions people who HAD been on the earth, being in heaven..

They have a job.

Are you that good?

All the rest who have ever died will be resurrected.;
Rev. 20; 12,13. They have been asleep in death. Psalm 13;3

Answer 3

Yes you will be forgiven, and if Hitler truly repented then he was forgiven also.

God deals with us as individuals. He will deal with each victim individually and turn your action into something that will turn out positive for that person.....

We don't know how God will serve justice for all those people, but we do know that God is just and fair. We will all have a judgment day, in which no matter if we are saved or not we will still have to give an explanation for our actions.

that is why will still strive on doing good... even though we are saved.

Answer 4

Repenting means you turn from sin and go and sin no more....and you have to be sincere...you cannot get anywhere with God unless you are sincere. And yes, God forgives every sin but one. Even Hilter could have been saved...anything and anyone can be forgiven if the person is sincere and really ashamed of what they did and turns from that sin. Even your sins can be forgiven if you are sincere. BTW..Calling people fundies is not nice..

Judgment day will even it all out...and you had better be glad that all is forgiven and forgotten by God....you might want to get saved as you see that day approaching...

if you are worried about justice for victims of crime...why not give to the victims fund for the people who lost loved ones..Put your money where your mouth is.

Answer 5

People have a mistaken assumption that once they are saved, all of their past works are immediately forgotten and there are no consequences for what they have done.

Yes, you go to Heaven, but this is not saying that there would not be consequences for what you did. God is a just God and while we are forgiven, He also punishes us for past and present sins.

For example, I turned from Christianity and spent 5 years deeply in the Occult. I came back to Christianity, and later over a period of several years suffered 5 bouts of pneumonia, the last of which almost killed me. I have never been that sick before, and I hope to never be that sick again. God told me that was my punishment for having gone into the Occult. I have never been seriously sick since, and that was over 20 years ago.

Ok, about Hitler. He would indeed go to Heaven, but at his judgment he would face all of the victims who suffered and died at the hands of his regime, and his rebukes from God would be many and severe. We think of God's rebukes as being just a chewing out, but His wrath has been likened to a consuming fire, and His rebukes will be far more than a chewing out! Guaranteed he would be in agony when God was finished with him.

The same with us. Our sins will be forgiven, but that is not to say that we will not be judged for what we have done. The severity of your judgment and God's wrath will be determined by what you have done here on Earth.

For example, Jesus said that those who have shown no mercy on Earth will be judged without mercy at their judgment. And as you have judged others, in the same manner God will judge you.

Women who have had abortions will be forgiven, but they will face their aborted child(ren) at their judgment and will give an account to them as to why they were aborted.

I think you get the idea.

I hope this clarifies things?

Answer 6

I can sum this up in this statement, it is not our will that be accomplished, but His Will Be Done. If G-d forgives Hitler of all his sins, that is between G-d and Hitler. It has nothing to do with our desires, wants, needs, thoughts, ideals, beliefs, faith, understandings, or opinions. It sounds harsh, cruel and unjust, but G-d's Will is going to be done. Regardless of what we personally think about His Kingdom, His Laws, and His Justice.

Answer 7

First, just speaking the words mean nothing. God knows your heart. If you are truly repenting of sin, and following Jesus, He knows. So yes, by understanding what we believe about that, anyone can get to Heaven. But the heart of that person must change. Words can be spoken out of haste.

This is what we believe.

God Bless.

Answer 8

To your main question I can answer an emphatic yes. Having said that, I can tell you that the grace of God baffles me. He extends grace to people I wouldn't swerve the car for. I can tell you that God extends mercy in justice. That's why we're still alive.

Answer 9

Christianity makes no sense.
A person that has been good his entire life ,but did not believe in that religion will end up tortured in hell, versus a Christian that killed , raped , just because he repented he will be going to a heaven,how stupid is that?

Answer 10

you are making up a "what if" about Hitler.
Anyone can have salvation.
Romans 10

Jesus won't let those in that blaspheme and mock Him and think somehow Jesus is unfair for not letting them in because they think they should be.
