God will let a serial Killer, child molester, etc in to Heaven because he or she went to prison and found God. but he will throw people into Hell who have spent their lives living for others, risking their lives for others, doing nothing wrong except a cuss word now and then. And so many people except it. saying thats just the way it is. doesnt something seem very wrong with this picture or is it just me?

Somehow I don't think these other people would be thrown into Hell.
It's just you who thinks that.

Yaaaaaahooooooooo girl!!!! You are really learning the truth!
Who is your most critical judge? That is right...yourself. So, when you die, you will view your entire life and judge for yourself if you completed the course you took or not. If you didn't... utoh...have to come back and try again. You also have to mend any Karma mishaps. If you did good, you get to go on to the next step.
As for the molesters and murderers...they do NOT get to enter at all because they broke their contract with GOD. So, they have to come back here right away. (Poor woman who ends up carrying them in her womb). They have to try to complete their contract with God again only this time without the help of spirit guides and angels. Too bad...they gave that up when they decided to break their contract.
As for the Bible, you are right. The Christians in power at the time, deleted much of the Word because it did not meet with their personal opinions. My question is: Who made them GOD? Anyway girl....You are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work and asking the questions that might have some impact on some closed minded people.

this belief is found only in American denominations as far as i know . and it isn`t the belief of Christians in general every thing i ever read in the Bible is saying just about the opposite
2 John 1
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
that says
sinners who don`t live in the way Christ taught ,don`t have God
anyone who does live by what Christ taught Has both the Father and the Son
it seems clear enough to me
what kind of gift would it be to be made to live for eternity in a Heaven full of serial Killers, child molesters, and generally greedy selfserving nasty souls that have gone rotten by their own evilness .to most people thats the vision of hell

In the bible, it is clear that all of human kind is a "fallen" creation. That we are no longer capable of being "good". St. Augustin said that in Eden Adam had both the "ability to sin" and the "ability not to sin"... Adam was able to choose freely. He choose to sin. The result of that is simply that we have lost the "ability not to sin". The bible makes that clear, even the "best" people in the bible are not the "good". That is one thing that makes the bible an amazing book... It talks plainly about the characters of the bible. We know King David committed adultry and murder, we know that Jacob was a liar and crook...
But they all believed God and executed his commandements to the best of their ability looking forward, as it were, to the sacrafice of Christ. We, you and I and the child molester, being believers, look backward at the perfect work of Christ...
Because man no longer had the ability not to sin, we broke God's commandements. We broke the commandements and were unable to do what God asked, unable to enter the kingdom by our works. So, Christ was sent, so that if we believe, repent, confess, are baptized and try to immitate Christ, we will go to heaven. We are saved by the grace of God, through our Faith in Christ's perfect works...
So when you say that a Child Molester is bad and you are good.... I think you are forgetting that the very desire of your hearts are evil. St. Augustine said that we have freedom, but not true liberty, because the desires of our hearts are for that which is sinful... So while the Child Molester ACTED on his "desires" you haven't, but the desire is still there. That is why we need Christ. None of us our good.

It's a sad bit of dogma isn't it? The truth is that there is no such thing as a truly innocent human being except in the form of a child. This is why I favor harsher punishments on anyone who would harm one of them. Unfortunately, life does not guarantee justice. Though it's nice to think of some kind of divine justice in the afterlife, it may very well be the belief in said afterlife that breeds such low respect for life.

It has to do with the heart condition alot of people help others for wrong motives and never truly accept Jesus,so their labor is in vain.people can put on a good front,making people think they are all that by helping others and risking their lives but whats the motive behind it?Jesus accepts people that accept him and do his will, and are selfless in their motives.

If G-d is a loving Father/Parent , How could G-d send any one to an eternal punishment for any infraction that a person is truly repentant of -sorry for .
As a parent I could not do such a thing to a child of mine ---I don't believe our Heavenly Father is so cruel.

No, it's not just you. That's one of the biggest flaws I find with Christianity. Someone can spend their entire life lying, stealing, and killing, but if he accepts Jesus and repents on his death bed, Christians say he goes to heaven. Meanwhile, Gandhi, who spent his entire adult life fighting for peace and justice and led a Christ-like life of compassion, is in hell because he wasn't a Christian.
That's seriously messed up.

You are assuming that there are some good people out there somewhere. Maybe that is because you want to hang on to the illusion that you are good? And that molester/killer you are talking about doesn't "find God" as God is not lost. God has mercy on him and he sees his sin for what it is and repents, puts his faith in the savior.

When the murderer admits "I just can't make it without you Lord," that person steps ahead of the good person who denies God. As James writes, this world is just a vapor, a wisp of time when compared to eternity. And we are to focus on the kingdom of heaven. Living for others is a very good thing, but not when it's at the expense of God.
