We ALL sin and come short of what God would have of us........even you........me..........everybody
The difference in Christians is that we recognize that we are sinning and try to do better..........even asking God for forgiveness and strength.
You are damning all Christians for a few events that happened to you in your lifetime........Don't be so quick to judge us.
Heck.......the person who said something bad to you may have just been having a bad day and didn't even realize they hurt you....
Ask them about it..........at least you'll know if they truely are a jerk or not.....

Heaven is real, no i can't prove it visually, but in my heart i believe. We all sin every single day, we all are forgiven if we ask for forgiveness and in hearts truly are sorry for that. I won't make a whole story out of this (like i could to help answer your question easier) but no person is perfect, we say and do thing all the time with out thinking, if this will hurt this person or not. Also for some people its hard to admit they were wrong that doesn't make them a bad person or hateful, jus a lil weak in believing they will be forgiven by the person they hurt. I guess i did make this a lil long, jus one last thing to say!
I would rather live every day believing there is a heaven (God home) and die and there not be, than live everyday and not believe and die and there is a heaven> then I'm going to hell!
in the end be yourself, as long as you have love in heart you'll know the truth!!!

‘I Make a Covenant With You for a Kingdom’
IT WAS on the night before Jesus was put to death that he told his faithful apostles: ‘In the house of my Father there are many abodes. I am going my way to prepare a place for you, that where I am you also may be.’ He further said to them: “I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom.” (John 14:2, 3; Luke 22:29) What a marvelous prospect he set before them!
2 However, Jesus did not mean that only those apostles would rule with him in his heavenly Kingdom. Later it was made known that 144,000 redeemed from the earth would have that grand privilege. (Rev. 5:9, 10; 14:1, 4) Are some today reaching out to lay hold of it? They are to rule With Jesus Over the Earth for a thousand years,called the judgment day.Remember the promise of a Resurrection.

There is no set number for heaven. God gave us a free will to decided what is in our future. Jevoh Witnesses will tell you that only 144,000 will be allowed in, but if you think about it, that means no one that has already died went to heaven. That means that Sister Theresa, all the saints & prophets are not in heaven, if you believe like they do. All Christian sin. It's in our blood. That is why Jesus died on the cross, so we would not have to die there. Heaven is real! The bible tells us it is real. It is the only true word. Read it! Don't believe what I say or anyone else here. Read the bible & decided for yourself.

You seem a little bit confused so let's clear it all up for you.
1: There is no actual god.
2: By association, there is no heaven, hell, after-life, satan, angels, soul and so on. It's all a major scam to deceive ancient man. You are not an ancient man.
3: Your behaviour in this life is the only important thing. You decide your own moral code. You decide your purpose.
Be good, be nice, work to benefit yourself, your family and your friends and, if you can, to benefit mankind as a whole.
Watch out for those who are bent on deceiving you, as not everyone is as nice a person as you and I.

When we die we go to the next plane of existence - ALL of us. It will be based on values learnt on earth. If you haven't learned these values, you will be bored and alienated: Then when you begin to discover that there ARE values which you rejected when alive, then the guilt will kick in and that will be your hell.
So yes, everyone will go to heaven but it will take some longer than others to adjust to the next existence. There is always a second chance though, even after death, to achieve happiness becuse God is loving and just and therefore will respond generously to a change of heart.

I will offer what Pope John Paul 2 said at his General Audience of 21 July 1999.
Heaven "is neither an abstraction not a physical place in the clouds, but a living, personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. It is our meeting with the Father which takes place in the risen Christ through the communion of the Holy Spirit,"
Therefore according to Pope John Paul heaven is NOT a place but an understanding in the "here and now".

Very few. "Christianity" discards the first 2/3 of the "Word of 'God'". Salvation is a contract with the Creator: Take His name, follow His rules, and you become part of the "bride of Christ", and He will save you in the end. It should be painfully clear that a very small number are following His rules. Acts 4:12 tells us "there is only one name". Messiah was not Greek. How can we suppose He had a Greek name? The earth made new will be the home of the saved. (For the 1000 years between the resurrection of the righteous, and the final solution to the sin problem I believe we will be in heaven ) And it will not be crowded.

We don't know the number, only God knows.
I believe there is a Heaven and Hell. I believe when we die, we either go to Heaven or Hell as the Holy Bible teaches us. There's no inbetween.
Jesus is the judge for He is the only one without sin.
Num 6:24-26
24 "The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."' NKJV
Happy New Year!!!

reality does not change based on our presumptions. We should not doubt whether it exist or not because, so many good people according to our standard are to doomed for hell. It is not we, who can make this decision. It is the creator who will make this decision and He is the most merciful and beneficient.
However, our duty is to try to be wothy of heaven and help others what we like for ourselves. That's what all messengers have been doing
But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (forever).
