There are a lot of white christians who are uncomfortable being around anybody different than them. For some this means anyone who doesn't go to their church. Some are uncomfortable around blacks and arabs. Yet others are fine with those groups but are uncomfortable around Mexicans.
If different ethnicities are allowed into heaven, all the white people will feel uncomfortable and it will no longer feel like heaven to them.
Maybe heaven is segregated by race and religion so that all the bigots can still have their eternal bliss without having any of their beliefs challenged.

Umm.. Please answer the question. I don't need a theology lesson. What happens to biggoted Christians in Heaven? How can it still be heaven if there are minorities around?

Note: Contrary to popular belief, green and purple aren't races.

I prefer to call this a prison rather than heaven

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavens. Everyone has a spirit body that is suitable to them. So there is no race or color in heaven.
There is a scripture somewhere that says, If you cannot love man that you can see you cannot be loving God who you cannot see. To even say so is a lie.
I know from reading the bible people who are prejudice will not be in heaven. That would be haughty and hardly humble and loving.
The prejucide ones will die here on this earth and not go to heaven.

why the HeIl would there only be white people in heaven? if God had a problem with ohter races, he wouldn't have made them in the first place! i think maybe the people who don't feel comfortable aroung people of other races **rolling of eyes** will have there opinion changed when they get there.
simple question, if you are dying, trapped in a vehicle, will it matter to you if the person who saves you and your family is white, black, green, or purple? will you thank a colored person less, even if they are the one to go the extra distance? if the answer is yes, than i think you are in for some serious debate to do with st. peter at the gates!!!!!

Please remember that Jesus Christ died for ALL people and race, etc., means nothing to Him. He is not willing that any should perish or suffer eternal separation from Him. Besides, there won't be anybody in Heaven except those who are forgiven of ALL sins. Granted, we have our shortcomings here, sad to say, but we can try to live as Jesus would live and do as He would have us do. No, there won't be any segregation in Heaven, according to the Bible, as saints from every language, nation, etc., will be worshipping Jesus Christ forever. If we're doing that, we won't have time for anything else, right?

Heaven is not segregated....here is some scripture to ponder...
Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
Rev 7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
I'm white and I love all my brothers and sister no matter color or background. I worship with all kinds of people in my church. Chinese, black, all types of Asians, other white people and some others I'm sure.

there's no such element as a "white heaven". Sorry, you're out of success. you may get into "regular" heaven by utilising accepting Jesus as your saviour. John 3:sixteen For God so enjoyed the international, that he gave his in basic terms begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldn't perish, yet have eternal existence.

Honey, there are a lot of black people who are uncomfortable around white people. There are a lot of Hispanic people who are uncomfortable around black OR white people. Come on...this is just stupid generalization and another attempt at making fun of Christians. It seems to me that YOU are calling white Christians bigots....HMMMMMMM

Did you ever think that bigots don't go to heaven in the first place?
Bigoted Christians in heaven aren't there! Those with hate in their hearts will go to hell.
