To the Christian who thinks only those who accept Christ will go to heaven....

[Falconer02]

Putting this out the

every person i know that believes in some kind of god is pretty cool and pretty respectful
every atheist i know are complete jerks to all other "believers"

Why do you think you see this with those people, Mapl? Because I have seen both 'parties' be both things.

[angelhome]

So your telling me... that anyone who does not accept christ will be doomed to eternal suffering???
ok.
so what if...... i cured cancer. ended world hunger and made sure every child in the world got and education?... but heres the catch. i was an outspoken athiest who mocked religion and denied it completely. would your god send me to suffer for eternity, despite the fact of all the good i had done?

We can thank GOD that we are only responsible to tell, and if they hear that is good. Or perhaps we plant a seed. We are not required to
do any more. if they refuse to hear, we are to dust our feet and go on.  We do not have to answer at Judgment for their sin, only our own.

I know what you mean you think it's irrational to believe in a document full of things unseen, but it's about as real to me as feelings and I can't see those, I can rationalize the expressions of people as happy or sad etc but I can't literally see emotions.
Good works won't get you there... and denial of GOD who sent HIS only SON to die for your sin issues a curse. you can take it from there.

  good point i don't think that you have to be a christian in order to enter heaven as long as you have faith in him and do his will.

If you do his will you'll put the father and his kingdom first because that's what Jesus prayed for...

 9“Therefore, this is how you should pray:

      ‘Our Father in heaven,

may your name be kept holy.

10    May your kingdom come.

May your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.(Matthew 6:9-10)

... as useless as the computer it's typed on, my dear! Why don't you try believing in something you can see with your own two eyes, Hell-take a picture of the lord if you find him, take some video or something with you chatting with him on a summer's day-saying that exact prayer!!!

[britcrawford]

that is a good question.. but i would answer it by sayin that 'human's' definition of a 'good person' is different than god's. just because you are smart (which would be a gift that god gave you) doesnt mean that you are worthy of heaven. it's not so much that you have to just accept christ, you have to live the life that he set out for you to live.

Teflon, you have given some great answers, but you are speaking to hard hearted individuals who will not look up until GOD
sends them a stroke... you are throwing your pearls before the swine...   I wish you well, but I decided to dust my feet and walk.
to Let GOD handle them. HE is able.

And what was that life pleasing Jesus or pleasing his father?

it sounds like you don't even understand any of this, it can't be provin exept for what man says and who says that he is even right

Kinda like your post? on the way to 30 eh?

[HuffmanFamilyof4]

he died on the cross for sure, but for my sins??? I highly doubt it and just because his name is Jesus does not make him the son of GOD. I know quite a few guys named Jesus does that make them the son of God, his parents are Joseph and Mary. so kind of sounds like this god of yours kidnapped Jesus and now is using that to tell people they will go to hell if the do the same thing

[walksalone11]

Custer died for your sins :op

What about the fact that he turned water into wine. Walked on water. He caught a large number of fish. He calmed the sea. Giving sight to a blind man.

White Bull ftw!

Those aren't facts. Those are myths.

Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. He said that himself. By thde way, doing good works will never qualify anyone to go to heaven.

big deal anyone can toss in food coloring and Vinegar in water and call it wine woohoo *hick* I can walk on water in the winter time(Ice) as for calming the sea..well the storm has got to pass sooner or later and helping the blind man see, he took the blind fold off the poor guy. Someone just put a blind fold on the armless guy. there's my reasoning. now prove it didn't happen that way.

[mic753]

the bible clearly says the only way to get to heaven is throught the son (Jesus). If you choose not to believe, then you go to hell, its very simple. It does not matter how nice you are, if you dont believe you go to hell

Those aren't "myths", they are miracles and they are fact--- they were witnessed by others and the Bible has FOUR different people writing about them happening instead of just one.
