Does it make Christians uncomfortable with the idea that heaven is seriously lacking in racial balance?
Hardly any Chinese, Japanese, Native Americans, Maori, or Indians? What about Ancient Greeks or Egyptians? How about everybody who lived in America prior to 1492?
If you went to heaven in the year 1500, it would be composed entirely of Europeans?

Wow a lot of Christians are bashing me here. I though all along I was simply asking a question in a respectful way. Please quit the insults and use your intellect, the good Christians I've met on here do.

Why would Christians care about who's in heaven, they have but one goal...... to get there themselves.

First off, God judges by our hearts, so if we hadn't heard the word of God, we wouldn't get automatically barred from heaven. All it really takes to comprehend this is just a modicum of common sense. You also must not realize that the first christians were Jews, who spread into Africa to spread the word, so a huge number of African's were Christian, even in 1500. So no, it doesn't make christians uncomfortable when bashers post ridiculous questions for the sole purpose of hatemongering, since we realize you're probably under the age of 15, very immature, and apparently, unsupervised. Children play. On the off chance you are an adult, I'm very sorry for you, you're an extremely pathetic human.
And also, spirits go to heaven, not human bodies, so there won't be any race anyway.

Thanks to Caramel for his very Christian response. I'm glad to see the true colours are coming out. Interesting observation about the Jewish being there from ancient times, are they still considered Gods people and if not did he legally announce this and is it enforceable?
To me purgatory seems like a much better place to spend eternity, sounds like a really rocking place with some interesting folk.

I know of many chinese, Indian and many other people of other cultures who converted to Christianity, or who are Christians.
So as a christian no it doesn't bother me, because in the end, it's my soul that I'm concerned with, not me and theirs.
Besides, when I do get to heaven, I doubt that will be the first thing on my mind.

Oh really?...have you any idea how many Christians are in China today? There are about 70 million Protestants and about 12 million Catholics. And that is just China....you need to do research before you make this type of statement....

What is your question?
You can try and put racism into heaven but it won't receive it. Nothing that is hurtful or harms will ever enter into God's Holy Kingdom.

An interesting observation - but why should Christians care about racial diversity in heaven, where race will probably be non-existent anyways?

Yes and all the 'older' inhabitants of heaven will all be Jewish, until around 2000 years ago, when they suddenly ceased showing up.

I got the impression that you turned into floating balls of light or something. No colors.

Heaven will be a whole bunch of white, racist hillbillies (and maybe some charismatic African-American preachers chasing them down for reparations). I think I'll stay in Hell, thanks.
