Default If you go to heaven & the very best of other religions, like Buddhists & Hindus go to

would you be happy with this, especially Buddhists, many of them have literally spent their entire lives in meditation (prayer to you) and caring for people with not a moment wasted they are the very embodiment of kindness caring devotion and piousness that would put pretty much everyone in history to shame, a near perfect life.

But seemingly due to the literal interpretation of a single sentence everyone must go to hell except some Christians, Is god really limited to human concepts & words and cant not see our universal qualities, would he condemn someone for nodding instead or bowing ? seems a little like a stick figure image of a god that an earlier mind might draw, with little knowledge of the world & no idea of the inescapable persecution he would condom all of humanity to.

could you accept a heaven like this, would you even be safe, it would be alien to any characteristic that you now understand & incomprehensible & more unjust than existence itself. Chaos as far as we know, and we know nothing, Only that we know.

of course the answer is, god did it, its cool, end of, along with all other conceivable question,

quite beautiful really, well lets hope that all of the many many irrefutably true belief requirements all are wrong & that no single one is right, because if one is, then pretty much all of humanity is doomed unless you have the impeccable logic that only your belief counts

Im going with the Arch Bishop of Canterbury the head of the COE, ill be safe with him, as he thinks that all people ultimately accept god, in some form
pretty terrifying really what some people think, but fortunately clues have been left in the sheer number & variety of human minds with their assortment of unassailable irrefutable truths throughout cultures & history, we can only thank god for this literally, i cant help but think we may have doomed humanity in some Century to come for no other reason that we like to make assumptions that in all honesty and sincerity no human being could of made, that are now lost in chaos & history and we know this but it doesn't matter anymore

I believe that God can reach anyone who is sincere and seeks the truth. I don't accept the idea that geography affects our chances of salvation. After all, Christians are the majority in some places, yet non-existent in many rural villages in some countries. This would make salvation like a lottery, which would be unfair. As a Christian, I believe that the overall message of the Bible is God's mercy on us sinners and would rejoice if Buddhists and Hindus can go to Heaven.

Short answer to a very long question: Yes I do believe in that kind of Heaven. Gods word says that Jesus is the only way to Heaven and I believe it. You are free to go with what ever belief you happen to wish but I personally believe that Muslims, Buddhist, Hindu's and etc will lift their eyes in hell.

If that is true, then salvation is a lottery. I don't understand how some Christians believe that they are the only ones who seek truth and are sincere. There are some parts of the world where even missionaries have not set foot upon. To believe without question is to never question yourself as well. It is like saying that the more deserving is less worthy of salvation because they got stuck with a bad lottery ticket. Such logic is perverse and self-serving at best.

Edit: If you Christians truly believe in your teachings, then go spread the word of God and save those poor souls in the Peruvian Amazon whose tribe have been recently discovered and have yet to be contacted from the outside world. Ignore the fact that their way of life and tribe are being protected because their condemned souls need saving. Get off your lazy bums, stop accumulating wealth and excuses, and save those souls now!

I wouldn't say ALL people accept God, in some form. Thankfully though, God is more merciful than many of His Christians.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called children of the most High." Matt 5 something.

Christians, Moselms, Jews and atheists are all in for a nasty shock when them find themselves being judged in the Hall of Ma'at, before Osiris, and having their Judgement recorded by the Great God Thoth.
