ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

 

There are some things that you should know:

 

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

 

Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

 

Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

 

This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

 

2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

 

Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

 

Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

 

Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

 

3. If you will confess to Jesus Christ that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior, except Him as Lord and Savior and believe in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead you will be saved.

 

Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

 

Joh 1:12 Joh 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”

 

You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus and asking Him to forgive you for your sins and save you. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.

 

Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.

 

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins? Are you willing to turn from your sins to Jesus Christ for Salvation?

 

4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please pray this prayer to God from your heart:

 

"Dear LORD JESUS, I believe that YOU died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, take me to heaven when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus holy name, Amen."

 

If you prayed that prayer from your heart to God, and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.

 

Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.

I'm not sure that your tactics are the best way to spread the Gospel haha

:lock:

:dance:

Heaven is what you make of it.

 

Imagine there's no heaven above us; Imagine there's no hell below.

Only sky above us; and only ground below.

Imagine there's no country.

Nothing to live or die for; and no religion or posession too..

It isn't really hard to do..

Imagine all the people, living day to day; (living life as one.)

You hoo hoo, hooehoo

You may say, I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one..

Some day, you will join us,

And the World Will Live as One.

 

John Lennon, who's message and spirit lives on within us all.

 

Heaven is the best world we can shape for our friends, families, societies, and ourselves out of the fabric of earth. Our wisdom creates an environment where the average outcome gets better; where the odds of happiness improves if we understand what happiness is, and how we are all connected. And as we learn and grow.

We are never fully aware of what we are, as the picture is grand, and we are here to unravel the mystery of understanding. Enlightenment is heaven, and all of life is part of that heaven.

To continue on a path of enlightenment, as our spirit is simultaneously individual and shared through our connectedness - we are born, we live, and we cease only in the biological sense, as our spirit as a connected part of all of humanity's spirit flows on through the river of time and space, to arrive at a new confluence and a new delta down a timeline through life and culture itself.

So, we are a reflection of what we wish to see; seeing a positive future of advancing enlightenment means understanding ourselves and others; creating a positive attitude that is both just and enduring; loving and nurturing, challenging and progressing to a higher state.

Along that path it is good to feel loneliness to know how someone else feels, and to comfort those in need. To feel what it is to be hungry, unwell, or unsure of ourselves to help those in need. To see what makes for a more sure-footed path in life, so others, as well as ourselves can move along that path towards an enlightened future.

As surely as the spirit of life has given us hearts to feel, hands to work, and feet to move, so it has given us minds to think and eyes to see; and there are many paths in life - none more or less essential than the next to further human advancement. And in every new leaf that humanity turns over, more of god's universe is unveiled to us as a gift of our efforts - the secrets to unlock yielding treasures to the mind unequal to anything else.

..And Pooh Bear thought to himself, "what is the best part?" After a time, the answer came to him - it wasn't the eating of the honey that was the greatest thing, but the moment just before.

 

 

 

 

So, as I see it, we all share in this great culture of progress; heaven is what we do our best to create for everyone's sake - and for the generations to come. It is the collective passion, fairness, enlightenment, patterns, template, works, and motivations that lead to a healthier future for all humanity's sake. Those things which are selfish to too great an extent, not well thought out, or are unfair towards others lead us backwards, and are more learning lessons to show us what not to choose.

To choose a better path is to choose heaven.:)

no more guilt for being born human.

 

We are not born into sin - we are simply born. A virtual blank slate, we pick up much of who we will be from the influences of others, from childhood on. So yes, we are born self-interested, and must learn to deal fairly with others, and in turn share in the common harvest by playing our part in the mix of things.

We must learn selflessness when appropriate, and yet need times of self-absorption to become fully human. Yes, we want everything as children, and need a great deal, as we are growing - but slowly we evolve to understand that sharing and altruism have rewards in their reverberations with others that outweigh our selfish needs, and learn to give of ourselves.

To be reminded of this is essential, and in time, the lessons become a part of who we are. Lessons with logical reasoning make the most sense, and positive as well as negative lessons shape who we are, More positive lessons create greater harmony, but all lessons are good ones.

And as well need to be relieved of the stresses of life at times , humor is an essential part of our interactions - necessary to stay healthy, as is sleep, exercise, diet and water for life.

The horses need a good work-out, and need food and water; rest and play in the evening before bed, to rise the next day refreshed and ready for work again..

Wow I aint even going to read this pile of shite!

Please take the time to read this first post and pray that prayer to God at the bottom of it if you haven't yet.

:lock:

yes

 

Wow I aint even going to read this pile of shite!

 

Yea, it is a lot like "bad dog, bad dog! you're born a bad dog, and only if you grovel to an all-cruel God and buy into the cult with the blinders on, will you be allowed to be "saved", and breath a sigh of relief!":laugh3:

I lost interest in this fire-and-brimstone approach of religion's, as it is so very narrow-minded, and based in the assumption that we're awful, deserve punishment, and only if we listen to the one cult belief will we be allowed to feel OK about ourselves. It's fear-mongering, that's for sure!;)

...I think is was one of the reasons I used to listen to AC/DC as a young lad - just to drive out their message of cult indoctrination.:rolleyes: Long live rock, be it dead or alive!:P

Do not reply to Trolls posting! You fuck up the board and you do what they want. Please, please, please just ignore them and let the Moderators deal with them!

Please please feel free to ask me anything you want regarding how to get to heaven. This is not a troll thread or I would be here answering questions.

Does frodo have a ring of invisibility today?:rolleyes:

Not using it, trying to let people see that I am here to discuss anything they want regarding this thread.

Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.

 

Peeps, I already do that, so leave me to listen to my death metal music while I bash some homeless dude...

 

 

 

:P

I wasn't going to reply for the reasons Rick mentioned, but I think the poster is being genuine, and if they're not, the Mods will indeed deal with it. I agree this isn't the best way to win souls, and I hope you don't spam the board up, but it opens up a topic for debate, and we love those around here.:)

 

I said that prayer when I was 4. My religious views have changed considerably since then, but I know for a fact that there are a few born again Christians on this forum, and if we're going to preach 'religious freedom', that has to include Christianity. Lately it's ok to be tolerant of all religions but, and that bothers me.

 

Now of course, having said that, if you're from TBP, we'll just have to kick yer butt!:lol:

i never were into praying etc. So i never prayed i'd go to heaven when i'd die. and i won't do that now.

 

i just hope i didn't hurt anybody's feelings with this post. i know it could happen.

did god star in 3 feature length DVDs as well?

I really hate that in church you're taught that you are the worst being on Earth and you should ask God for forgiveness or else you'll definitely die and rot in Hell for all of eternity.

 

Yeah, I do bad stuff, but the way they talk about sin it's as if taking a cookie is as bad as raping somebody.

^I grew up with a lot of that judgementalism you're talking about, and it's really not got much to do with what Jesus taught. I mean sure, if you commit a crime/sin, you should go to the person/god you sinned against and ask forgiveness...that's just common sense to me, but living in a sea of guilt to get to heaven isn't what J.C. had in mind, imho. He preached a gospel of love that man twisted to suit his own ends. SAdly, it's made Chrstianity look pretty bad over the centuries.

 

For me, it comes down to the Sermon On The Mount. Do unto others etc. I'm sure not perfect at it, but it's a lot simpler than trying to follow the Big Ten,lol.

i agree with you... i just simply follow what JC said, that's what i think is Christianism, don't you think? the other parts well i take them as, i'll call them tales, tales that can teach you sometimes but not a thing to have to follow as an strict rule or something like that...

 

and btw i haven't read the long long post the user that opened this thread had posted but well i have to confess that i pray each night, because it makes me feel good.

 

i used to pray each night since i was 10 till i was 14, then i quitted it but since 2 years ago i pray again and i will always do it.

Here is what Jesus actually said about this:

 

 

Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

 

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I'm going to assume the double-post was an accident, since I do that all the time. You quoted John 3:16 in your original post. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever might believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." SImple as that. Believe. Not fall prey to man's corruption of the Church, but believe. That and The Sermon OPn The Mount are all it takes according to the New Testament to enter the Kingdom.

 

A New Commandment I give unto you: That you love one another as I have loved you.

 

And when JC was talking about bringing a sword, he was addressing the people who would harm his flock, not the flock itself.

 

Here's a queswtion for you (and I'm not being an agitant. It's a question my mom and I have talked about for years.). What happens to the 'good people' on this earth who haven't heard the 'gospel'? Do they go to Hell just because Christian missionaries haven't gotten to them yet? I can't believe a loving God would allow that.

Are Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and other loving people going to Hell just because noone's shown them the slide show yet? As I say, I'm not trying to be an ass, it's a very genuine question that Christians should consider.
