    I am a Christian and I'm one that has actually read my Bible. Do you know who invented the idea about people going to heaven? It wasn't Jesus and it wasn't his apostles or his disciples!

    There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that says that the ordinary common man or woman be they sinners or be they saints are going to heaven for anything other than to be judged!  After the judgment you go one of two places into the lake of fire to be killed permanently.

    Or you go to live on the planet Earth under the supervision of Jesus Christ while the planet Earth is being restored to Paradise.

    Now here's who actually invented the idea of going to heaven.

    This person said come and let us go on up to the heaven where we will make our home with God!  After this person said that God kicked his butt out of heaven along with a bunch of other Angels who we're preaching this nonsense to Men on Earth.

    If it was God's purpose for men to go on up to the heavens to live to be with God he wouldn't have kicked Lucifer out of heaven for saying it now would he?

    Finally let's take a good look at this thing they call the rapture you know that the devil is an absolute master of turning Bible scriptures around to be bass ackwards!

    Here is what the Bible says about the rapture and the rapture isn't even found in the New testament.  

    The only thing that's found in the New testament about going up to heaven is for those people that Jesus has specifically picked to be the leaders to help train the people of Earth.

    But those people are going to return along with Jesus to be on the Earth!

    Now here comes the real truth of the rapture.

    In that very day you will consider the dwelling place of the wicked Man you will go to look for him but you will not find him because he has been taken away!

    And only the righteous themselves will remain to possess the Earth...

    Yep friend there's going to be a rapture but it's not the righteous people that are going away!  It's the wicked.

    Most of us assume that only our type of Christians will receive the third heaven (eternal life), the highest reward God can bestow.  Me?  I follow the Bible.  Jesus shall reward us according to our works, not our beliefs.

    A persons salvation does not depend on their denomination.

    It depends on their faith and belief in The Lord Jesus Christ.

    The original and true Christian Church, unlike some manmade churches, does not pretend to know the mind of God, and therefore does not make any statements concerning who God allows into Heaven. It's His decision, and we cannot read His mind, even though some people think they can.

    It is possible for Christians of all denominations to go to heaven.

    Source(s): Greek Orthodox Christian
  • Here's a question I'd like an answer for. If those who go to heaven are to rule over the earth for a thousand years and you believe all Christians go to heaven and all the wicked go to Hell, who are they going to rule over? The Bible says they'll have subjects. Certainly not animals, God gave them instincts.

    God is merciful. But noncatholics think the long road to heaven is best walked after they shoot themselves in the foot.
