A question that I've been pondering for a while now. What does the Bible say you need to do in order to go to heaven? I was told in high school, that in order to go to heaven, all a person had to do was accept god as their creator and Jesus Christ as their saviour, and this alone would guarantee entry to heaven.
Is this true?
depends on how serious you are about it. if you are just like well i accept Jesus as my lord and savior and that is it, nothing else and you don't even mean it then no, it doesn't work that way. When someone truely accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they believe without a shadow of a doubt that jesus died on the cross for thei sins and then rose again. They believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is their creator. They want to turn from their sins and they are sincere about it. they want to grow closer to God and have a closer relationship with him.
Now do people fall away from God, yes they do, can they come back to God, yes they can. People do backslide, i have at times but once God is my father, he will always be my father (heavenly father that is).
I have to be going soon and this is an answer in a nut shell but if you would like me to get deeper into it i will later.
So basically, my teacher was right, all you need to do is sincerely repent for your sins and accept God and Jesus? Let me present you with a scenario.
There are two people on their deathbed, person A and person B.
A) Person A is a man who was born into relative poverty. He overcame his background and ended up running a succesful business, with the money he earnt from his business he was able to stop working and allow the business to run itslef. From this point onwards he became a notable philanthropist, donating money to numerous good causes. Here's the downside, he is also an outspoken critic of religion and an ideologically commited atheist. He has also in his life, experimented with psychdelic drugs and he likes to get drunk at the weekends. He has rarely, been cruel or harmful to others, however, he has never repented for his fondness for alcoholic beverages and the odd tab of LSD as he doesn't see them as sins and doesn't believe in God.
B) Person B was a for many years an unbeleiver. He was a convicted serial rapist and peadophile. He was sentenced to a lengthy prison term. A couple of years prior to the date that he was diagnosed with cancer, he found God. He repented for his sins and accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour. Since this point he has led a sinless life, trying to give back to the community from which he took so much, unfortnately he has little give. Throughout the large majority of his life has has been a cruel, evil man, with little regard for others. Notice, however, that he has not commited the only unforgiveable sin in the Bible, which is to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.
Which of these two men, will go to Heaven?
Neither.
The bible says that the only unforgiveable sin is to blaspheme against the holy spirit. This person has repented and has accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour. Thus his sins will be forgiving. What, that you can find in the Bible, and not some doctrine written over a thousand years later, is preventing him from entering the Kingdom of God?
I don't understand it either. Could it be that you said Neither just because you don't want paedophiles and Hitler in heaven?
Everyone's fate is ultimately the same. I don't get into Heaven no more than you do. Not even one of the most righteous men, who was John The Baptist, gets to go to Heaven. There's only a select few who has allowance into Heaven. The rest of us will inherit the Earth.
Yes it is (provided one has true devotion), but what does it actually mean to accept God as your Creator and/or Jesus as your Savior?Quote:

You see, it depends on your religion.
If you are a sikh, you are screwed unless you find (forgot the word for it) neutral karma or some shit like that.
If the sikh religion is true, and you are a Christian, you are fucking screwed. If you are a sikh, and ANY other religion is true (pretty much), then you will get into heaven no matter what. So being a sikh is a win win situation.
So you believe that only 144,000 will go to heaven?Quote:

If the Bible really is "the Truth" then fewer than one sixth of the world population can be construed as eligible for heaven. In other words, five-sixths of all those alive today will burn in hell. Because let's be honest here. Almost everyone has committed a "sin" that the book claims will condemn you for eternity.
Thank goodness the bible's bullshit.
If it turns out to be true don't we all just get to choose in the end? And satan and the false prophet are the only ones swimming in burning sulfur...
Threating your subjects with eternal suffering because they like fucking other men is not my idea of a "choice."
Screw heaven, I want in Mount Olympia.

Well, if the Bible is your reference, then here are some good verses.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
—John 1:12
John 3:16-17
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Meh, I wanna be a ghost. That would be completely awesome. Plus, it wouldn't bore me completely, because anytime I pined for a negative experience, I could just pop off and haunt some poor, impoverished family for a while. That ought to demolish my faith in humanity sufficiently...
Meh, still think the whole "nothing" theory holds the most water, but I sincerely hope I'm mistaken.
I choose this as well, thanks for asking.Quote:

the first man would not go to heaven due to the fact that he doesn't believe.
The second man would, even though he was SSSSSOOOOOOOO evil, he did in fact accept Jesus and God and sincerely turned from his sins.
You see no matter how much community service you do, or how much money you donate or how many lives you save etc.... thos are good intentions and the road to hell is lined with good intentions
With all due respect to other religions and beliefs, this is what I believe. I know other religions say other things and other people believe other things.
Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical? I mean, to say if you accept Jesus, etc, is all that matters, and all else is mere fluff, seems to kinda go against Xtianity as I know it. Like, is it okay to go against the 10 commandments, and start raping and killing people, as long as you accept Jesus? Sounds kinda ridiculous to me...Quote:

Also another way of seeing it is that you have this god who puts his own selfish recognition before, as Mario said, the commandments. Not to mention good people and so forth. Or maybe another way of putting it would be, why should accepting Jesus and god be the only way for god to see through your sins? I mean if you have to be judged, atleast one could hope that it would be due to other reasons other than a narrowminded vision of "well, did you accept me?"
AAAHHHH very good question Mario... Thanks!Quote:

The answer from my view point is that being saved is not a get out of hell free card as someone else posted. I like that phrase by the way... When you are truely saved you have a desire and a want to turn from your sins and start living for God. Anyone can say ooohh i accept Jesus as my lord and savior and now i'm going to go have massive orgies get high on all sorts of dope and top it off with mass murder. It doesn't work that way. you aren't truely saved if the only reason you get saved is to be able to do what you want and get away with it.
On that note, all Christians slip up I have, i'm not perfect at all but I am sincere in asking for forgiveness I was sincere when I became a Christian and Jesus did wash away my sins.
For example, early on in my Christian growth, I went out with some old college friends that were in town for a few days. We went to a locla bar to hear some live music and i decided to get a beer. 1 beer what would it hurt. Nothing really, i'm not indulging in it. well my buddies and i begin to have a good time and 1 beer lead to another and so on. I felt extremely convicted over this and prayed for forgiveness and I was forgiven and I turned away from drinking.
Yes.Quote:

That is utterly disgusting, what sort of capricious narcissistic God values worship and acceptance over a virtuous, righteous life? It appears that your God is an absolute tosser. And if he really did exist I wouldn't hesitate to spit in his eyeball.Quote:

Point is, it may work okay for some people, but there are plenty of wackos out there, too.
First of all denying the existence of the Holy Spirit is not the unpardonable sin.Neither is insulting the holy spirit the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.THE blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was witnessing Jesus perform a miracle and attributing that power to Satan instead of the Holy Spirit. This specific blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, the unpardonable sin, cannot be committed today. The only unpardonable sin today is dying in hard-hearted rejection of the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ. God can and will forgive any sin, but His offer of forgiveness is only available in this life.
The Bible i guess you are reading is the New World Translation by The Watchtower society?Quote:

Non- Jehovah's Witnesses Christian Beliefs
All people who confess Christ as Lord and Savior will be with Him at death.
All people who confess Christ as Lord and Savior are born again.

What does inherit the earth even mean anyway? Is everyone just going to suffer for eternity?
Notice how non of those passages state that we will reign "IN HEAVEN" alongside Jesus. Read Matthew 5:5Quote:

Also read the condition of Lazarus after his death. John 11:11-14 (NIW) New International Version.
11After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."
12His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." 13Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
14So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
Notice how Jesus never mentioned that after death, Lazarus went to heaven or any other place. He just stated simply that he was sleep. Could he not have explained to the Disciples that he was bringing Lazarus back from heaven? Also do you remember that verse where Lazarus talked about what happened to him after he died?
Where did you read that from? I don't recall this but I would love to take a look at it.Quote:

Respectfully, you may wish to re-evaluate what you believe.
You have way too much time on your hands.
Um, going to Biblegateway.com and pasting every verse on a relevant topic hardly takes up anytime.
Fucking Christ, Noogah, that's the biggest wall of text I've ever seen. Kudos to your ultimate lack of life.
On-topic, I gotta say that Heaven and Hell make no sense to me. Really? Has anyone ever come back from the dead and told a reliable story? Nope. There are all of those "warm tunnel" bits, but I don't buy it that they ultimately lead to heaven, etc. Take Occam's Razor to it...does it make sense that people travel to a great place we cannot see, nor have ever seen for ourselves? That a matterless form of that individual ascends to heaven or plummets to hell? Wishful thinking, I say.
I must say, that made my day.Quote:

Yeah but to me, those sentences doesn't really explain what hell and heaven is properly. They're too vague and leave too much for mankind to speculate.
"Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure"
See, that doesn't even sound like the hell people believe and think it is nowadays.
I'm curious though, if back then they used metaphors and similes. For all we know, hell could be the feeling we get when we're depressed, anxious and guilty. I mean, when somebody goes into a downward spiral it can pretty much feel like hell.
And I'm more inclined to think Heaven is just the sky and everything above it. Not a place of sorts people go there to rest and be rewarded in the afterlife.
But, your post has sparked my interest in the topic of religion again. It may provide me some answers to my insane questions about mankind. So thanks~! :D

Its easy, he just has to be clever enough to play on God's self-absorbed nature.
Warm tunnels usually lead to a doctor's arms. Or, a midwife.Quote:

What NDEs have offered us is great. They create an overall picture of heaven and hell. And if you ask what is heaven and what is hell based solely on NDEs then the answer is, it is what you think it will be. And you go where you think you deserve to go.
1. Don't kill.
2. Don't steal.
3. Don't have long hair when you rape your sex slave.
God you're fucking condescending.Quote:

The idea behind it, at least from my experience with Christianity, is that when one chooses to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and saviour they've come to grips with the wrongs they've committed and the pain they've inflicted and they've moved past it. I guess it has something to do with the idea that they've reached the maturity level to understand the fact what they've done (in this case, paedophilia) is completely and utterly atrocious, so they're seeking forgiveness for it.Quote:

The fact that this is a relatively frequent, but not universal, experience, I would not be surprised if this were the case. Very similar results can be achieved from oxygen deprivation, even if the individual is not on the verge of death.Quote:

The Judeo-Christian sense of the afterlife is even more improbable; you either suffer or get pampered for eternity based on your moral choices. Here's the problem: morality is relative. There is no universal code; it's completely man-made, and varies with the society in which you were raised. And yet somehow, God or the universe sorts people out based on their moral choices, which mostly aren't even a choice, and either sends them to paradise or chucks them into a pit of fire. Really, it sounds more like some fantastic fairy tale invented to keep people behaved. In the end, it doesn't add up.
If all we have to go on for evidence are a few tales telling of a warm tunnel or dead relatives ushering them toward the light, there really isn't any support for any version of the afterlife. Okay, so you have some matching stories. Big whoop. The brain is monstrously complex, and we are only now just beginning to understand how it works. Who knows? Perhaps these fanciful hallucinations are the brain's method of easing the panic one encounters in the face of death. Nobody really knows for sure, of course, but I'm more inclined to go with "poof, game over," rather than "welcome to paradise, fortunate bit of ignorant carbon." Would I love to live on in some sort of afterlife? Absolutely. Is it a probable possibility? As far as we know, it is not.
I'm not asking you to believe in the NDE. But you're wrong to say that they offer nothing. That's like saying dreams offer nothing because it isn't an objective reality. The TRUTH is NDEs have common threads between them all REGARDLESS of religious background. Whether we are dealing with a subjective or objective isn't the point.Quote:

Something doesn't have to be objective reality to be meaningful.
This again is WHY NDEs are important. NDEs challenge, I repeat CHALLENGE mainstream Christianity.Quote:

If you don't like the mainstream Christian idea of the afterlife, then educate yourself on the NDE. It paints a wholesome and complete picture, and has given answers to many. No joke! Just pop a question! I'll give you an answer based on the NDE. Do you want to know the meaning of life?
It's a very beautiful thing to be alive. It's a very beautiful thing to be a human. You shouldn't hate yourself so much :cheeky:Quote:
"welcome to paradise, fortunate bit of ignorant carbon."
My point was that there is so much we don't understand about the human brain that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they are constructions or side effects of a dying mind. To better understand NDE's and draw any conclusions from them, we must first understand the human brain and body. As of present, without this crucial bit of understanding, it really is quite hard to build any case for any version of the afterlife. In the scientific method, they don't hold water.Quote:

Indeed, they can and have changed lives on an individual basis, but again, these are subjective experiences. NDE's are not fully understood; assigning "afterlife" as the cause is implying you can explain an unexplainable event.Quote:

Who says I hate myself? I'm damn happy to be alive. What I stated, though, was the truth. In the grand scheme of things, humans are insignificant. In all honesty, we won't make an impact beyond our little arm of the Milky Way anytime soon. We could all be wiped out tomorrow, and the universe would get along fine. Any extraterrestrial life would be clueless. The universe grinds on. And for the ignorant bit, it is honestly amazing how little we know. What we don't know is absolutely overwhelming. Again, I see no reason why humans in particular have to have some sort of special treatment over all other life. Okay, so we have (or perceive to have) consciousness. Whoop de doo. In another million years, provided we don't all kill each other, who knows what kinds of capacities our descendants will have? We can't even fathom the capacities that will be available to them. Humans are still evolving, and are far from being perfect life forms. We're basically another link in an unattainable destination. For all intents and purposes, our perceived consciousness isn't that fantastic; at least not so that it entitles us to an invisible world where everyone is happy all the time. That is a notion derived from conscious thought. In all likelihood, humans didn't enter the scene and suddenly the universe created some sort of additional plane just for us to chillax on once we die.Quote:

There I go, flying off on my tangents again. :panic:
Stop thinking in such literal terms.. God (good) sent down the son (sun) to give us life. Basic paltonian thought for ya.
Alright, so if I worship a gigantic nuclear fusion reactor I'll get into heaven?Quote:
