According to Christianity do Jews, Muslims, Catholics, ect... Go to 'Heaven'?
Alright, Hear me out.
Hear me out before you just flat out say no.
I, myself am a Christian, but I question everything, alto...so naturally in church as the pastor is preaching, I'm asking myself How, Why, and what not.
I was told our god is a loving and forgiving god.
I was also told that the only way toy heaven was through Jesus Christ.
One of the commandments is Honor Thy Mother, and Father.
So, Do Jews, Muslims, etc, go to hell?
If you think about it, Muslims, and Jews and just about every other religion, asks that you follow a certain set of rules, and that you have certain moral beliefs.
So lets say some average Muslim dies. He lived a good life. His parents raised him to be a Muslim, and his grand parents raised his parents to be Muslim.
He's standing before god now .... at this point, does God send this good man to hell, only because he was not a Christian? To my knowledge, Muslims have a similar set of 'commandments' that we Christians do.
So why would god send him to hell?
I know the whole, Jesus died for our sins, thing, and I respect and believe that...
but I believe in certain circumstances, god makes exceptions.
As long as the person lived a good life.
But why would our loving and forgiving god condemn a good soul to burn for eternity in hell?
They did not know any better.
Their parents raised them to be that way, and to defy them would be in conflict with one of our 10 commandments?
Yes, I am aware that Catholics are also a form of Christianity.
I'm no expert, but the information I gather from catholics at my school, They look at Jesus, with a different perspective.
and I added Catholics because I wasn't sure if that would affect how they were judged.
Please don't insult on here.
if you're going too, please add something meaningful to the discussion.
Moron.
Thanks, everyone.
I am interested in learning about other religions, only for educational purposes...
But I'm going to wait until I'm a little older...
Cause If I told my parents I wanted to learn more about other religions, they'd probably throw a fit.
No matter how you look at it, most religions (in general) ask that you try to live a good life. So, regardless of what you believe in, you can always learn something from other religions to better yourself, without necessarily believing in that Religion.
Daughter, it is necessary that you return to Earth to go and testify that My glory is real, that what I am going to show you is real; that what you have seen is real ? so that humanity will come to Me, repent and not perish
Catholicism is part of Christianity, first of all.
Yes, according to Christianity the other religions would go to hell. One reason among many why I stopped being a Christian.
If God exists then I would think he wouldn't care what religion you were in as long as you lived a good life.
Maybe check out the Baha'i faith.
Actually there is debate within Christendom. The one thing unique about Christianity is that "salvation" has nothing to do with living a good life. According to Christianity all human beings are sinners.
I like this C. S. Lewis quote: "We do know that no [one] can be saved except through Christ; we do not know that only those who know Him can be saved through Him."
1. Catholics are Christians.
2. Catholics believe as long as you have a faith in God and live a good life your okay. People think confession is just like a loop hole but really you have to actually be sorry. Which is hard.
3.It's God not god
Anyway the Church teaches a concept called invincible ignorance, without going into too much detail, as long as someone truly searches for God but He is obscured because the person was not exposed or was clouded by prejudices, he can be saved. (go ogle for more in depth explanation)
You need to become a Muslim - there is plenty to do in the heavenly bordello invented by Muhammad - enough for you and me to convert - what say you?
The Islamic Paradise or Jannat which was invented by Prophet Mohammed to bribe the Arabs into committing Hedi's crimes by promising them materialistic things which they couldn't obtain in the harsh desert. The paradise contains six important items: beautiful virgins, young boys, water, wine, fruits and wealth.
To prove my point I have taken verses from the Koran and quotes from the Hadiths.
VIRGINS (HOURIS)
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his lecherous followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris' (beautiful virgins). Not only that, the poor wives who gave up their virginity for the pleasure of their husbands do not get even one Male Sex Bomb. But wait, Allah is all merciful! He gives the wives the rare hon our of watching their husbands deflower those 72 Houris (virgins) and 28 young Prue-pubescent boys.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 78:31 As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosom ed virgins for companions: a truly overflowing cup.
Koran 37:40-48...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran 44:51-55 ...Yes and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful virgins)
Koran 52:17-20 ...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins) we shall wed them...
Koran 55:56-57 In them will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have touched before.Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 55:57-58 Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 56:7-40 ...We created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran 55:70-77 "In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jin will have touched before..
In the Hadiths, Mohammed goes one step further and expands the promise of virgins to include a free sex market where there is no limit of the number of sexual partners. Women and young boys are on display as if in a fruit market where you can choose the desired ripeness.
Quote from Hadiths
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he will have intercourse with them."
22 In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, 23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.
24 ?I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
If that person has never heard of Jesus and never got to make the choice, then God will look in his heart. If the person rejected Jesus Christ as Gods son, he goes to hell.
I think you need to study the Muslim faith a little more.
To begin, I really shouldn't have to reiterate myself so often, but Roman Catholics are Christians, and indeed all Christianity in the West derives directly from Catholicism.
As for the adherents of other religious faiths, provided they have lived naturally virtuous lives, ignorance of the Gospel cannot necessarily be held against them. Only willful denial of the Gospel can, and only if the Gospel is presented in all its truth and glory. Regarding the cases of the souls of non-Christians, as indeed in the cases of all souls, their eternal state is not ours to guess at. All we can do is pray for them.
if you believe in Jesus as god you go to heaven if not ,sorry it' s hell for everyone else . you don't know any better either, listening to your parents beliefs of course god wouldn't do that. they say that to scare you so you wont change religion. in Islam they just kill you. catholics used to torch er people until they converted.religion does not make sunsetsAtsy you have to believe. organized religion has been perverted. dont let someone else tell you what to believe.
The world has a twisted mind set so read the Bible..CHRISTIANS ARE NOT CATHOLIC THAT IS A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL,dint listen to Pol on here,if u have a question ask Jesus..No one goes to Heaven unless..they their selves know Jesus ask THEIR savior for ever for a fact,and listen and obey him...Man can see the outside,God can see the inside..ONLY GOD!
Islam cannot get you into heaven, because it rejects the truths that Jesus is God and Savior, so Islam has a different and fake "god" that cannot save.
Judaism rejects the truth that Jesus is Messiah, so Judaism cannot save.
Catholicism cannot get anyone into heaven, because it teaches works for salvation, which cannot save.
The truth is that the death and blood of Jesus is the only acceptable SACRIFICE and PAYMENT for our sins, and we are all sinners. JESUS died on the cross and shed His blood, for our sins. Nothing else pays for any of our sins, and it is already done. All the good deeds in the world won't pay for even ONE of our sins. All the "living a moral life" won't pay for even one of our sins. No "religions of the world" can pay for Antone's sins.
The truth is that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead. That is why Jesus had to die on the cross, because there is no other way for us to be saved. You must believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, to be saved! John 3:16! That easy to get into heaven!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what! John 3:16, John 6:47!
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! And the Trinity is true! Jesus is the Messiah!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in JESUS for His free gift of salvation! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die!
Adherent of many religions are at times blinded to such a point that they fail to apply logic or reason to their faith or beliefs. For example, Saint Thomas Aquinas, the most rational of Christian theologians, stopped the use of reason when it came to the basic fundamentals of Christian faith. He then tried to justify faith. So to ask "why Christianity?" is an illegitimate question. However, Allah invites the question as to "why Islam?"?We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.?3:118
Islam is a rational system which not only allows questions but raises knowledge to a new level of dignity and respect. No other religion has exalted knowledge and its pursuit, as has Islam. In fact, for the first time in human history, a religious book invited people to question the creation of the universe and stated that in it (the universe) were signs for people of understanding. ?In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are Signs for people of intelligence.?(The Final Testament,i.e.Quran,3:190-191) ?He directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain about the meeting with your Lord.?(13: 2)
Everything in Islam is subject to rational pursuit.
Islam is an intellectual and historical religion. There are no secrets and no mysteries which cannot be understood by an ordinary person.
We should, therefore, refrain from forming particular ideology or opinion prior to witnessing clear evidence-just as Islam advises us.
The Qur'an, this extraordinary book which was revealed to the Seal of the Prophets,Muhammad (peace and blessings of Almighty be upon him), is a source of inspiration and true knowledge. ?Allah Himself is witness that there is no God save Him. And the angels and the men of learning too are witness?There is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise.?3:18.The book of Islam-no matter what subject it refers to-is being proved as Allah's Word as each new piece of historical, scientific or archaeological information comes to light. Facts about scientific subjects and the news delivered to us about the past and future, facts that no being could have known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, are announced in its verses. It is impossible for this information to have been known with the level of knowledge and technology available in 7Th century Arabia. With this in mind, may we allow our common sense to speak on behalf of us awhile?
Could anyone in 7Th century Arabia have known the precise date of the lunar landings?
Could anyone in 7Th century Arabia have known the atomic number every single element?
Could anyone in 7Th century Arabia have known that the word "Pharaoh" was only used from the 14Th century B.C. and not before, as the Old Testament erroneously claims?
?If the sea were ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, surely the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if We brought (another sea) like it for its aid.?(Quran-18:109)
Could anyone in 7Th century Arabia have known the genetic code of many living organisms?
Could anyone in 7Th century Arabia have known that the star ?Sirius? is the brightest star in the night sky?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the universe is "steadily expanding," as the Qur'an puts it, when modern scientists have only in recent decades put forward the idea of the "Big Bang"?
?And He shows you His signs. So, which of the signs of Allah do you deny?? 40:81
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about the fact that each individual's fingertips are absolutely unique, when we have only discovered this fact recently, using modern technology and modern scientific equipment?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about black holes, Pulsars, the Rosette Nebula, sub-atomic particles, quantum physics, fossilization and iron content, the layers of Earth, the weight of clouds, the relativity of Time, the Force of Gravity, the Orbital Movements, the sun?s trajectory, the programming in genes, the sun?s hydrogen and helium content, or many other facts scientists of our day are only just beginning to discover?
The only answer to these questions is thus: the Qur'an is the Word of the Almighty Creator,God. the Originator of everything and the One Who encompasses everything with His knowledge. In one verse, Allah says, "If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it." (Qur'an, 4:82) Every piece of information the Glorious Qur'an contains reveals the secret miracles of this divine book.
According to Christianity do Jews, Muslims, Catholics, ect... Go to 'Heaven'?
That easy to get into heaven!
