An evil sinner dies after signing his donor card. Shouldn't the sacrificial sinner whose organs benefited another be compensated or excused? After all, lets say the heaven bound recipient was once an evil sinner too and only repented after a near brush with death, the heart or liver transplanted from the dead sinner allowing him to live long enough to find god.
Should I sign my Pascalian Donor Card, just in case?

Let me rephrase for those who need some help:
Persons A and B are both evil sinners, destined for hell.
Person A dies. Person B gets sick and gets A's organs. B becomes enlightened, repents, is born again, becomes a good christian and dies at a ripe old age in gods good books so B now goes to heaven.
B wouldn't have gotten to heaven had it not have been for A's organs.
Should A not get a little credit?

A bad person can do good acts, and a good person can do bad acts.
A mass murderer who's organs are harvasted after he is hung or shot in the head, can not receive absolution for all past sins just because he made one noble act. If you actually believe in the Heaven and Hell fallacy, being sent to hell is a forever thing. The determination of your fate is a "Totality Effect." If you live your life as a Saint on Earth, and commit Suicide, you are forever consigned to Hell. If you are a major sinner whom finds a genuine change of heart and lives the rest of his or her days genuinely remorseful for all acts, and actively attempting to attone for past deeds, can eventually reach a point where all past acts are covered, and are then working to find a place at God's side.
The key word in the Christian church is "repent." One must repent one's sins to obtain Heaven.

No one can earn their way to heaven..not by good deeds, not by giving an organ for transplant either. The only way to get to heaven is a real heart issue for us humans. And that is by receiving the free gift Jesus Christ offers to ALL people, no matter how 'sinful' they have been. The free gift is salvation and if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, you will be saved. Jesus died willingly on the cross for our sins. It is called mercy and grace. All one has to do is receive Him in truth and follow Him and the way to follow is in the Gospels and Epistles in the Bible.
Why is is so hard for people to admit they need a Savior and why is it so hard for people to believe in things they cannot see such as Karma and ignore the proof of Jesus?
Why is it that people are too lazy to read the bible and do the research for themselves, but instead will believe anything Oprah, or Joel Olsteen or authors of self help books?

God will take the good deed into account but we will all be Judged 2 Cor 5:10 and will be taken responsible for all the bad things we did, so one good deed will not be enough to compensate a life of evilness.

Wow!! Talk about one to ponder!! 10 points.
I guess that I would say that it is the sole of the person and person that I define as brain, that,,so far cannot be transplanted, that defines who goes to heaven or hell. Not some support part.
Good Luck
That one will be with me for a while, but I do believe in offering parts of worldly body to help others.

Actions don't matter in this life. You can be the eviliest, most vile person in the world. So long as you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, you get your free ticket to the magical wonderland of Heaven. After all, Jesus died for your sins, so live it up and accept Him at the last minute!

For one thing doning your organs are fine, but he still sinned, God judged him. And for God giving us the chance to have eternal life with him is AWESOME! since we all deserve to go to hell anyway. Also the shorter catechism and the Bible both say, "God elected some in to everlasting life," meaning if God elected the guy who went to heaven, that was his decision. So even if that happens just trust God and know that he is in control

Actions will not get anyone to heaven. You can be a great person in life, but if you do not accept Jesus Christ into your life then there is no one to forgive you of the sins you have commited. Sorry but it's the truth. Pick up a bible and research you will come to the same conclusion.

No, the unrepentant will still go to hell. Unbelievers have "helped" others get to heaven, not just through organ donation.

Hello:
If you are asking if giving up your organs give you time off from hell. No. Its a one way or another sort of thing.
I hope this helps.
