would you sacrifice your eternal soul for your loved ones?
let's play a hypothetical here... let's just say that...for whatever reason (either bc you are a good christian or muslim or human or whatever) you went to heaven.....and let's say your loved ones...(mom, dad, girlfriend, spouse, etc.) ended up in hell....
now let's say that god or devil or some divine power...made a deal with you...that if you leave heaven and go to hell...they will send your loved ones to heaven....(you will stay in hell eternally and they will stay in heaven eternally)
would you do it?
please specify religious belief and the loved one(s) you would make this sacrifice for.

This is a short form of my research based on my personal experience. A human being is always living with a group of spirits which have joined one by one since birth. Between creatures (including human beings) and God there are millions of invisible elements. There are divisions too. We are just robots made of different materials (flesh, bones, nerves etc.,) created by scientist God or eternal beings to entertain God. Each of us have memories like computers have RAM. The fed things (data= knowledge=several spirits or invisible elements) are in contact with the memories since childhood. Even thoughts are not our own. One after another the spirits think and we choose (accept) or reject based on the knowledge we possess. If current (electricity) stopped the memory loses all data. This is with computer. The same thing occurs to all of us. Computers are functioning by electric power but human beings are functioning by natural power. We call this as soul. This soul is nothing but simply a power like electricity. If this is stopped our memories lose all data (all spirits or invisible elements). These spirits leave the body and go to different places. No one lives in the form of spirit or anything after death. We are simply our bodies, the toys made for spirits for their games.

Sounds like a circular question. If you gave up your soul and went to Hell, your love ones (If they deserve to get into Heaven) would say...We can't allow this to happen, and the trade is back to the way it was. Now if they are not worthy to be in Heaven, and would not give up this gift for you, then they are obviously dishonest and greedy, and will not be allowed to stay in Heaven, and the trade is back...No brainer....

And now let's say we start with God's truth.
You, as a soul, are NOT eternal, and God does not bargain
For anyone to go to heaven, they must meet the criteria while they are alive .

The question has no realistic essence to it as each person has control over his or her own soul with a decision during their lifetime on their earthly pilgrimage to accept life through Christ or reject it. We all want our loved ones to be saved but we can do nothing to help them find the way other than pray for them and encourage them to check Jesus out. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life, no-one comes to the Father but by me."

creative thinking. you must be a college graduate. ; ) i think in this made up scenario, the same rules apply. God is above all and can do what He pleases. we are his unprofitable servants, meaning when a master says to do something, the servant does it with no question and expecting no reward. God want the best for us all. since the same rules would apply, Jesus already sacrificed Himself for us and He is in heaven with God. so, we don't need to sacrifice ourselves anymore.

Your question is pointless because the situation will never occur. Jesus gave a very definite answer about that in his Sermon about Lazarus the begger and the rich man.
