manmustwac: So your asking me to switch OFF my abilty to think for myself? Its when i stopped doing that, that i foundout that godisimaginary.com. What about you? Why can't you agree even just temporarily that heaven is imaginary and go through the godisimaginary website?
lol. You still dont get it. I want you to put on your thinking cap.
This arguement is structured in a way that every line you make, must be within the context of the central arguement.
The central arguement does not suggest the nonexistence of God, rather the events associated with the existence of God.

I'm not sure why this is an issue. Ah, yes, good and evil. Fo.olish atheists are all evil etc, so they can't get into heaven or have nice things because they refused to bow down to the concept of a magical dictator in the sky who orders them to go for the throat of other verifiably living human beings with great potential, or remain eternally ignorant, stoopid, subserviant etc.

As things stand now if I did die and wow there is heaven, with various born agains singing praise for eternity, and omnixx.x god somehow let me through, I'll burn the place down or somehow help lucifers's insurrection. Note it will all be his will, considering he's omnix.xx and he let me in. However, if there really are 72 houri (plus goats) and eternal ere.ctions....

Jesus tells us about the good samaritan and heaven

Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind [Deuteronomy 6:5]; and your neighbour as yourself [Leviticus 19:18]."

He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbour?"

— Luke 10:25–29, World English Bible



Jesus replies with a story:
Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbour to him who fell among the robbers?"

He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do."

— Luke 10:30–37, World English Bible
Christ wanted to show just one of the gifts you will exhibit once you accept HIM as ur lord and personal savior. All Christians must be good as bin good is part and parcel of the true christian life but not all good people are Christians. Bin good is a nature of man but many have lost it becos of the sin of one man !Christ used the illustration concerning the good samaritan to show how we are to retain or reconnect back to statusquo. That illustration is only a parable and not a story (TRUE).It did not happen. But even if we say it happened,Christ never said the good samaritan will go to heaven but wanted us as christians to be good to all wether they believe or not.The battle for a place in heaven is between man and the enemy (devil) and not between believers and un-believers. For un-believers,the owner of heaven hav said ''No one goeth to the father except through me'' The holy scriptures said sinners,those who do not believe in Christ will perish and also will not have evalasting life ! It behoves on God to judge Atheist and all other un-belivers alike.But if my opinion is sought on this issue,i will say they will go to hell becos they do not beliEVE.My bible tells me so ! I'm not happy that people will go to hell but that won't stop me from saying the truth. If the good samaritan will be wise like the Canaanite woman who begged Christ for the healing of her demon possessed daughter knowing fully well that she isn't qualified to have the goodies of the master since she is a gentile(unbeliever),but still asked for it. He,the good samaritan will be pardoned and accepted by God.
But for the meantime,ur good deeds won't take you to heaven. Just confess your sins,restrain from them and confess that Jesus died for you, resurrected after 3days and was ascended into heaven.
Believe in Christ and have faith then you will be with HIM in paradise ! Shalom

Lord Babs: and who told u he didn't go to heaven(assuming there was one)?
Becos in the first place that was just a parable and not a true life situation ! If it was to be a true life situation he wouldn't have still gone to heaven cos christ said you can't get to the father except through him.What will the good samaritan go to do in heaven ? To see God i guess.But God is saying HE has got a son that if you need to see HIM u must see the son !And Christ who gave the parable had earlier said,
'I am the way,the truth and the life.No one goeth to the father except through me''If that story were true and it happens that the good samaritan made it to heaven,it means the very good samaritan Christ referred to was a born again !

If we must take the row call of your so called 'fools' first among your family members, I bet over 90% of them will fall in line.

Threats and Intimidation is what ill-Christians are good for. at least they are not as illiterate and oafish like the ill-muslims who actually carry out their threats and intimidation in the most barbaric and violent ways you can never think of

Not sure if troll, but I'll bite
This is how an atheist reads the situation
'dude that probably didn't exist tells a story about a dude that didn't exist going to a place that doesn't exist'. Certainly not what you have there, which looks more like a troll.
The point of this thread is to address if 'good' deeds are recognized by xtian god irregardless of religion. The samaritan's existence does not matter, what matters is your (alleged) Jesus allegedly used that story to show one could get into heaven via good deeds alone. Do you think an 'evil' person could go to heaven?

We know a bad atheist would be beaten at the gates and thrown into hell. I dont think so for the good atheist. Of cause his lot should be better. He would be gracefully and kindly escorted into hell.
