What if I dont believe in God but still want to get to heaven if it exists? I dont believe in Gods, but I still try my best to live a good life so that incase a Hell exists I wont go there because of my actions in life.
I cant just start believing something that I dont believe exists?
Good people will go to hell without Jesus. You can be Mother Teresa and devote your life to helping others and still go to hell. How is this? The actual problem is sin. A perfect God will not be in the presence of sin. If you sin once, you are guilty of sin. NO ONE can live a sinless life, and because of that, we deserve death. God is just and requires a punishment for sin. However, God is loving and merciful and so He sent us an out. Jesus came to earth as a man, lived a sinless life, and was sacrificed for us to pay the price for our sin. He then conquered death and rose from the dead. The price of sin is death and so it required a blood sacrifice. Jesus also had to live a sinless life because God required a perfect sacrifice. He willingly laid down His life in our place. The thing that separates’ Christianity from other religions is that we cannot earn our way into heaven. Christianity isn’t about good works. The price has already been paid. Our salvation is set in Christ’s finished work on the cross. There is nothing we can do to add to it.
It’s honestly such a relief that God did this for us. The Good news should be celebrated on the hill tops!!! Thank you Jesus!!!! My heart is lifted!
Pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.
Just accept Jesus Christ on earth and testify about him openly on earth and Jesus will testify for you in heaven. Thats literally his words.
If you just do good works but deny Jesus then he cant help you. Because Satan even does good works for those who do his bidding.
Im baptized and thats supposed to get you into heaven as well. Sure I accept him, just dont believe there is a God
Jesus commanded his disciples to baptize people, but never said it would get people to heaven. We don't know why this command was given, only that it was. I got baptized out of respect and obedience to Christ. I imagine when I get to heaven, I can ask why we did that.
Well, they baptize kidsso they can get to heven if they die?
You were baptized at an age of being able to repent of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ as the bIble says to do? Or were you sprinkled on with water as a baby as many false denominations like to do to infants to make you be apart of their church forever through brainwashing?
The last part
You have to believe Pede. Let all your rational thoughts go. Don’t worry about logic an reason. There is no puzzle to solve when it comes to the truth of God. Your mind is fallible and was never mean to discover whether there is a God or not. The point of believing is that you don’t ever really know till you get to heaven. Scary but just embrace God and He will embrace you.
I meant Jihad. First crusade was to reconquer what muslims took.
A lot of christians don't understand this, many people assume heaven and hell are these far off places, but these are just names for a state of being.
Heaven is a choice to be close to God. Hell is a choice to be away from God. So if you don't believe in God, why would you ever want to be close to God? Why would you go to Heaven? And if God is really God, then God is everywhere. In all places at once. My personal take is that some people spend their lives running from God, because they continue to seek the pleasures of sin. They only escape when they die. They create their own personal hell right here on earth.
And others spend their lives seeking God by following the Law written on their hearts. They spend their lives with God, and get to actually feel peace. When they die, they are finally complete and purified and get to join God.
Just keep doing what your doing, you'll find yourself believing in the impossible before you know it. You'll find that doing good just in case hell exists is not enough to motivate you to do good all the time. And then you might realize that you can't do it all alone after all.
Well according to Christianity/the Bible, no one can enter God's kingdom without Jesus. Just depends on what you want to believe.
So you could basically be Jesus incarnate (on the moral and virtous level) and still not enter Heaven unless you believe God exists?
Well that's kind of a moot point because a core concept/teaching of Christianity is that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" and thus Jesus is the way/the truth/the life - no one gets to be with God except through Christ. So the goal is to certainly be as Christ-like as possible, but one can never truly be Jesus incarnate on a moral or virtuous level. Everyone screws up at some point, but Christ's death keeps our sinful slates forgiven.
But I mean that's just the message from Christianity and there are other religions and beliefs out there. Ultimately you have the freedom to choose what you want to believe and in this lifetime we have no way to truly know what the right belief system is or even if there is something for us after our physical bodies fall apart and stop functioning.
So if you want to believe in heaven and make sure you can get there when you die, there's more than just Christianity that carries that concept. It really just depends on what you want to or can come to believe is true, and believe strongly enough to put all bets on it. For me, all bets are on Christ.
