Who are you to decide who goes to Heaven? Isn't that God's job?

Question

Now let Him do His own judgingf--you just be nice and mind your own beeswax.

Just be nice. That's all you gotta do. Teach by example--no one seems to do that. They just hand out brochures and tell you that you're going to the bad place if you don't do what they say. That's not nice--that's mean.

And no, I'm not gay. You wish tho

Answer 1

Acutually everyone will decide for themselves whether or not to believe in Christ Jesus. Everyone deserves eternal punishment in Hell but God has made a way for everyone to be saved. Jesus said in John 14:6 that He was the only way. You either believe that or you don't. The judgment is yours.

Answer 2

God decides, but he does let us know who he considers as candidates for heaven, and who it is safe to say, doesn't stand a chance. For instance, hypocrisy is a big "no-no": "unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:20

Apparently, he will share the judgement job with those He selects: Jude 1:14-18 "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

"These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage."

And he gets very specific about sin which will destroy us: "do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." 1st Cor. 6:9-10

No, we don't decide but God already has. It is the Christian's job to warn others to repent, not to be nice while you are slipping off into hell.

Answer 3

Sure, it's God's job to decide who goes to Heaven. But He has told his children here on earth to let other people know what He has to say about how to get there and to warn people if they are on the broad way to destruction.

Matthew 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ...21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

Answer 4

Yes, God does judge, but it is up to His believers to let people know how to get to God and heaven. Even if we do it in a loving way, some will still be offended.

Answer 5

Who am I?
Who am I to stand and wonder, to wait While the wheels of fate Slowly grind my life away. Who am I ? There were some things that I loved one time, But the dreams are gone I thought were mine, And the hidden tears that once could fall Now burn inside at the thought of all The years of waste, the years of crime Passions of a heart so blind; To think that, but even still As I stand exposed, the feelings are felt And I cry into the echo of my loneliness. Who am I To stand and wonder, to wait While the wheels of fate Slowly grind my life away. Who am I ? What a nothing I've made of life The empty words, the coward's plight To be pushed and passed from hand to hand Never daring to speak, never daring to stand And the emptiness of my family's eyes Reminds me over and over of lies And promises and deeds undone And now again I want to run But now there is nowhere to run to. Who am I To stand and wonder, to wait While the wheels of fate Slowly grind my life away. Who am I ? And now my friend we meet again We shall see which one will bend Under the strain of death's golden eyes Which one of us shall win the prize To live and which one will die 'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I Shall kill to live again and again To clutch the throat of sweet revenge For life is here only for the taking. Who am I To stand and wonder, to wait While the wheels of fate Slowly grind my life away. Who am I ? Who am I ?

Answer 6

Only God can judge you. However, if you are a Christian and you are sinning it is other Christians responsibility to point out the sin and help you through your tough times. we are all the Body of Christ. No Christian stands alone in Christianity. If you have sinned pray to God to help you.

Answer 7

He has already judged:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

"But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

John 3:16-21

Answer 9

Of course its God's job to decide, but He told the Christians how He will decide and its the job of Christians to warn the world about that and tell the world what they must do in order to be saved.

Answer 10

Rom 10:8-10
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(KJV)
