Will God Let Good People Into Heaven? (Poll)

According to God's Word, He won't - as, "There is none righteous; no, not one." In God's eyes, all our good deeds are "filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). Christ Jesus is what makes the difference, according to the Word:
(John 14:1-11)- "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. {2} In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. {3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. {4} And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. {5} Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? {6} Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. {7} If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. {8} Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. {9} Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? {10} Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. {11} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."

(John 3:36)- "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Naturally, some disagree with me, however. So, what do you believe? And what are your reasons for believing like you do?

I have a hard time believing that God would let anyone burn in agonizing hell fire forever and ever if he truly loves them.

Yes if he exists and heaven and hell exist (as places or not), he will because imo, deeds DO matter.

Only those who outright reject God when introduced to him. If they were never introduced to him then I think they will be let off if they were good people. I think anyone who worships one God and was a good person will go to heaven. But of course, it's all up to God who goes to heaven or not.Famiking

Yeah, that makes sense. :| Infinite punishment for finite crimes.

Think of giving someone four life sentences for jay-walking. Now think of how much sense that doesn't make. Infinite punishment is kind of like that, only on quite a larger scale.

Don't know, don't care. I'd rather devote my life to living rather than devote my life to a place that may or may not exist.

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"][QUOTE="MgamerBD"] How? Just think of hell like jail. The person broke the laws and now they have to suffer....forever.Crushmaster

Indeed, it is. And He has made it clear in His Word that only those who accept Christ as their Savior and repent of their sins will be saved. If you never heard, you're still going to Hell.
In Christ,

"Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve" 2:62

And even then, I believe only kafir (a person who knows "the truth" but rejected it) go to hell for all eternity, or a person who has done many bad deeds.

why waste your time contemplating if god is going to let you into heaven or not? its all such a waste of timenimatoad2000

Not to mention the Bible is not quite clear what is metaphorical and what it isn't, so you have people to this day who believe Noah's Ark as the literal truth.

Eternal destiny is serious business.

deeds DO matter.

Teenaged

I wouldn't say that. A person can do a good deed out of impure motives. Think of sucking up to your boss as a good example: sure, you're treating him nicely, but only because you're driving by selfish desires; it has nothing to do with the fact that you like him or want to make him happy.

I would say that the motives driving a person's deeds are what matters, not the deeds themselves. There's a reason why Jesus constantly admonished those who announced good deeds with trumpets, or who did good deeds to those who can repay them - we ought to do such things simply out of love for our neighbors with no expectation of recompense, rather than for any carnal or material desires.

Wait up, I'll ask him.

Me:
Will you let good people into heaven?
God:
Hmm. What do you really want to ask me?
Me:
will you let good people into heaven?
God:
I'll burn that bridge when I come to it. I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer right now.
Me:
answer me douchebag
God:
What are you wearing?

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] If God hates evil then why did he create it? Crushmaster

Wouldn't evil sensibly be the opposite of good? Wouldn't the absence of good simply be neutrality?

Eh, I'm not Christian so I don't agree :P

I'm sure in the commandments or whatever God never put anyone in hell for jay-walking >_>. Just for crimes that is unforgivable like you know killing,stealing.MgamerBD

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] If God hates evil then why did he create it? Crushmaster

If he don't then he's ****ing cruel. I don't believe in him because I've seen no proper evidence. I can't just make myself believe something out of thin air. It's like me asking you to believe in Santa Clause...you can say you believe in him, but deep down you know it's not true.jointed
