Will Robin Hood reach heaven if he steals from the rich to give to the poor?

Question

Did he not break one of 10 commandants?
Is he going to hell for at least wearing stockings?

Answer 1

not for the stealing but the tights is a major no no.

Answer 2

Robin Hood ballads are between the oldest in English. There are quite a few variations and a brilliant form of retellings of the story, yet many pupils have self belief that Robin Hood became initially a composite character - that's a character made out of the characteristics of quite a few diverse people probable from historic previous. Many think of that Robin Hood legends grew out of activities almost immediately after the invasion of england by ability of the Normans in 1066. while the Normans defeated the English on the conflict of Hastings, the French took administration of the positions of potential, and enormously lots threw the present potential shape out. If one resisted this transformation-over, one could merely be declared outdoors the secure practices of the regulation (actually an "outlaw"). This statement made it legal for the Frenchman or French collaborator of the day to take the outlaw's possessions. It became a land grab! there have been people who resisted. They performed what amounted to small scale raids on the "new potential," and a few did share the take with people from the community. All that mentioned, it reminds me of the previous humorous tale....Why did the outlaw rob banks? while you evaluate it is the place the money became.

Answer 3

The question is fallacious, in that it embraces the widely accepted myth that Robin Hood stole.

Robin Hood took the taxes which had been wrongly collected from the hard-working people of Nottingham. Since the taxation was immoral and unjust, Robin Hood was actually reuniting the stolen money with its rightful owners.

Now the stockings ... that's another matter entirely.

And for that matter does a fox even have a soul?

Answer 4

Well, the Bible says it's as easy for a rich man to get into heaven as it is for a camel to get through a needle's eye. Or something like that.
But, it also records an event where Jesus is having some expensive oil poured over his head and a disciple asks if he shouldn't be selling that for the poor (per Jesus' instructions) and Jesus replies that 'you will always have the poor among you'. Since he doesn't stop, the implication is that he continued to 'use' expensive oil for unnecessary reasons.
In the OT, God's favorites were often kings or some kind of wealthy person (look at Abraham and his winnings from lying to a Pharaoh and a king of some tribe...that was with God's help)
So, I guess it really depends on what mood the bi-polar deity was in when RH died.

Answer 5

LOL

Where to start.

Robin Hood (if he existed) was prolly a anti-Saxon rebel poaching the "King's Wood" which used to be free land before the Saxons invaded and won.

Many depictions show him robbing from tax collectors and not the rich. That is Libertarian not redistribution of wealth.

King John who was collecting the high taxes was seen as a villain. King Richard who was seen as the missing hero was the one spending the taxes on the Crusades.

Some times he is, also, depicted as a religious rebel fighting for the Old Religion against Christianity.

Answer 6

he steals, but then he's giving so it cancels it out. Other than that, if he is doing more good deeds than bad, he will go to heaven. If he is doing more bad deeds, he'll go to hell.

Then again, Robin Hood is just a fictional character.

Answer 7

If not for the stockings then he surely will go to Hell for wearing that ridiculous green leotard Master Vader.Even that pathetic weakling Jedi kenobi wouldn't be caught dead in such an outlandish get-up!

Answer 8

Oh Robin Hood is dead.
He was caught stealing form Grand Moff Tarkin's back pocket.

Answer 9

No. No one goes to hell anyway; that is an idea promulgated by the more radical faction of Christians bent on driving people away from, rather than toward, God. God loves us and wants us to be with Him. Hell is here, in this life, and we repeat this life until we get it right. When we do, we graduate and ascend into Heaven.
As for breaking commandments, most of us do, after all, we were all born with original sin. His motives were right though. "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Answer 10

Fictional characters don't have souls and will not gain entre to the pearly gates. I bet Fulk FitzWarin got in, however.
