Christianity is about a relationship with God. And the question is simply this: Do you want this relationship with your Creator? Is your pathway of "knowing the truth" honest or is it just a way to reject God? Are you rationalizing your rejection of God?
Are your "good deeds" truly for others or are they truly a way for you to feel good about yourself? Is it just a way to tell yourself that you don't need your Creator? That would be self-pride.
I think God excuses honest mistakes and honest ignorance.

Jesus died for our sins so we could be able to one day go to Heaven. Everyone on this earth is a sinner. We lie, cheat steal, hate, envy, and do things for our own selfish motives. We don't deserve to go to heaven. It is only through Christ that one may enter the Kingdom of Heaven by his grace and mercy. Good deeds may make a person feel like they are doing good. There is a Hell. . One day Christ will return. There is a "burning lake of fire" and an anti-Christ. It is not figurative it is real. If there is life after death does it not make since that their is a creator. It is evident that there is a spiritual war continually ongoing in this world.
Revelation 20:13-15: "...hell delivered up the dead which were in them...And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

I believe in reincarnation, and that there have not been any creating of new souls, we just keep coming back to learn. The earth is the big schoolhouse. We were all with God when the earth was created. As I believe in reincarnation I also believe in Karma which we created, and need to work off. I believe we do tend to be born over and over with the same people though. You ever met someone for the first time and instantly felt that you liked them already, or you disliked them already for no cause you can think of? Well that fits into my belief. My belief system makes the most sense to me out of all that I have studied, and I have studied a lot. I have never had a time in my life that I did not absolutely KNOW God. Honest. I know for me, learning about reincarnation changed my life forever, it gave me clarity and much less confusion. It just makes sense to me when I learned more about it, and didn't judge it. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s just that my belief is a bit different from yours, not better than, just different.
Peace

ok if so (but) how did you know about heaven or hell if you don't believe in God
how did you know if this is right or that is wrong
the non religious they don't believe in the holly books and their contents so they don't believe in the heaven or the hell
as first written words in the holly books they have a space after life
how do you think if you were alone on the earth with out friend or somebody to talk with to share your pain with a warm hands to protect you (would you like to be so
people who know and they don't believe they will be double judged in the end of the time

Well I know you won't be found in heaven by the way you are talking. Because you don't know how to get there, but guess what? We are all born headed to hell in a hand basket. So thank God for Jesus. He is the only way to heaven. Now you know.

All religions will go to hell except the followers of last and final revelation of God, that is The Glorious Quran.
To enter the Heaven one must have to believe in one God, All The messangers of God. All the revelations.
and practice the last revelation (Holy Quran), and Follow the last prophet Muhammad(PBUH)

God decides the fate of human beings, I don't believe that bad ppl go to hell when they die. Hell can be literal and figurative, but not the way it's depicted in the bible; the hell we read of in the bible is a man made concept. God is good and just and wouldn't hurt ppl for the wrongs they commit, so burning ppl for their mistakes for an eternity is not the Lord I believe in and know. Learn about god for yourself don't let anyone tell you what and how to believe.
Hell on earth can best be described by wars, poverty, sickness and physical death; hell in your mind can be madness or depression or lack of faith in yourself & what you're capable of accomplishing, just so you understand what I mean by hell being literal & figurative.
God bless you

The Holy Bible is God's authoritative writings.
The Lord clearly tells us in John 3:16 to 3:22, how to get to heaven, and what happens to those who don't believe.
God's Heaven, God's rules
It is so simple regardless of what religion you belong to.
Instead of fighting or arguing over it, Just do it!

No one enters without their desires and sins to take them there, and no one has transgressed further than those who transgressed against themselves and broke the limits set forth. They are of the left behind and you will find them in the people and the Jinn the Spirits. They are the 2nd creation given to you by the Lord and they are here with you on earth.
Look left and they are there always, if you follow the right path you will find yourself in the best of company. He is there.

Sweet. Does this mean all the atheists and agnostics who live good lives will go to the magical place in the sky?
Man, I am glad I don't trust in Jesus as my savior.
What does this do to Pascal's wager, though? What IF you die and find that heaven is only for the non-religious? What would you do then?
