Heaven or hell is here on earth it's not a place you go when you die it's a state of mind.

Agreed.   :thumbsup:

I'm a muslim and I grew up with learning there is only one god and I shud recite the holybook every day and respect my parents and pray 5 times a day. But what about a Hindu kid? Will he go to hell because he believes in many gods? How is it his fault if grew up learning his religion also like I learned mine? Shudnt u always follow what ur elders tell u? Now how is it that poor Hindu boys fault. Does it or shouldn't it matter that you should just be a good person in order to enter heaven?

Those that Died before Christ were given a fair chance (GRACE- the unmerited/unearned favor of God)
1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

EVERYONE that's alive will also be given an opportunity to either accept or refuse (GRACE- the unmerited/unearned favor of God)
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

It is hidden only to them that has allowed their minds/will to be set against it (GRACE- the unmerited/unearned favor of God)
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I hope this helps


You can't be "good enough" to go to heaven. You can't "work" your way to heaven. There is only ONE WAY to heaven and it ain't by joining a church.
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

I dont hurt people, I dont gossip, I havent killed anyone.  I work hard and love my family with all my heart.  I am faithful to my husband.  In other words I be the best I can be not because of a religion but because I know right from wrong.  I was raised in a cult and I escaped with my life intact so religion doesnt rule what I do.  My love of the creator of everything whatever you call Him is who I pray to when I feel the need to pray not at a time set for me.  I pray doing housework.  I pray walking to the store.  I pray in the quiet of the day when I am alone.  I pray when I need to.

I always question whether my prayer is in harmony with the father's will(most high God Psalms 83:18), therefore I don't pray that much...

Everybody has the right to follow any religion of his or her choice. Islam's founder is Mohammed and what about the period before Mohammed? There was no Islam, and before talking ill about Hinduism do some research. Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world and nobody   founded this religion, and the ideas of many wise old men, and the culture of one of the oldest civilizations shaped this religion. Islam doesnt even respect women, and grants men the right to any number of wives. Sheer injustice to women and supportive of male chauvenism. :dontknow:
