why do monotheists claim they can ban others from their heaven?

Question

do they see how exclusionary this is?

why would others wish to join a society based on hate and bigotry, where a few of their neighbors are pitted by doctrine against the rest of the world?

why not just love others irregardless of belief and focus on acts of kindness

Answer 1

Accepting that a deity would not have human flaws like jealousy and conceit makes too much sense for sheeple to grasp.

Answer 2

Monotheists don't ban anyone from Heaven. God does the banning, because non-believers refuse to repent and receive the forgiveness He offers.

Hate and bigotry are not involved in true Christianity. Only acceptance of what God's Word teaches. Exclusionary? As I said previously God does the exclusions, and not because He wants to but because non-believers choose to separate from Him by rejecting His truth.

We love others and do many acts of kindness, but the most wonderful act of kindness on this planet is introducing others to Christ who alone can deliver them from sin, death and Hell.

I can't believe there is any greater gift of love and kindness that anyone could ever receive this side of eternity.

Answer 3

One God. One Kingdom. His rules. He rules.

No hate. No bigotry (except for what man adds). God loves everyone, as should we.

But, sin has no place in His Kingdom. People who don't want Him have no place in His Kingdom. His holiness cannot allow that.

But He loved the world so much that He sent Himself in His Son, Jesus. All people have the chance and opportunity to come to God and enter His Kingdom - but it is a matter of choice. He gives the offer - who will accept? Who will refuse?

Obviously you are not aware (concerning your last sentence) of the many Christian organizations which feed the poor and needy around the world without question or condition. This is acts of love and kindness, correct?

Answer 4

No human can ban others from heaven, God decides although there are some people who do make it painfully obvious where they are headed.
I don't believe in organized religion also no human is able to use God as a weapon against me, though some might try, my God is not a weapon to be wielded by any man.

Answer 5

I have never heard anyone, anywhere, make such a claim.

God decides who goes to heaven and who doesn't, not us.

That's why we are commanded by Him not to judge others, lest we be judged even more harshly by Him.

My question to you is why are you deliberately inciting hatred of believers in God by purposely misrepresenting their beliefs to others? An all too common hate tactic........

Answer 6

Because there is only one God the Creator of the WORLD his name is GOD, I repeat follow what God has said to Moses and Jesus.

GOD is sending back Jesus to clean our mess, lets not make it worse, lets make it easier for Jesus, be good from now on, repent your sins, you will go to heaven.

See you there or if you are here in the next 60 years see you here

Answer 7

You have an odd perspective.
I think the intent of most monotheistic religions is to show others how they can be included into heaven.
If I tried to show you the right way to drive a car, would you accuse me of trying to kill bad drivers?

Answer 8

Oh yes they do, remember that GOD has already determined who's going to make the cut to that fictional place. And billions of humans will tell you what it takes to make the grade, including dying for the MALE God's.

Answer 9

Yeah, like St.Peter at the golden gates, eh? What utter tripe. I like the way Bob Dylan put it in a line from one of his songs( of which the title escapes me just now) : "Before the sky there are no fences facing."

Answer 10

Because our God Yahweh warned us not to do as the other nations did before us and not to worship their false gods. That's a good enough reason for me.
