    You do realize that heaven does not actually exist?

    Actually, its a big misconception that the Bible teaches that all good people have going to heaven as their ultimate reward. Most people knows the Lord's Prayer in Matthew chapter 6, right? Did Jesus say God's will would only be done in heaven? No. He taught us to pray that it would be done on earth, as its already been done in heaven. In Matthew 5:5 he said that the meek would inherit, not the heavens, but the earth. Psalms 37:9-11 says that when the wicked are removed from the earth, meek people will inherit it, and verse 29 says they will live on the earth forever. So you see, its clearly God's purpose for us to live on earth, not heaven. It was his original plan when he created the Garden of Eden. If Adam and Eve hadn't sinned, they'd still be living on earth. They wouldn't have gone to heaven. The Bible also teaches that both righteous and unrighteous people will be resurrected when the earth is restored, so there's a good chance you will see your family and friends again. One scripture is Acts 24:15, which says: "and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

    they will go there only if they accept god and ask to be forgiven, if so they will go if not than they won't'

    we all have a choice to believe or not and if they don't want to they will end up in hell and that is no place you or them want to go, it won't be fun there, no parties, drinking drugs or whatever people think will be there, only thing for sure is torture and lots of it. you will cry out for some one to get you out but your buying a one way ticket there a no way out trip.

    best to have your family get on your train with you and get to heaven

    Depends on if they repented of their sins and put their faith in Jesus Christ, because He is the only way to Heaven.

    You are making an idol of your family if you would rather go to Hell with them, than be in Heaven with Jesus Christ.

    Nope. They will all be rotting in the ground like you will be.
