Must We Be Christians Or Muslims To Make Heaven? by ournaijablog(f): 10:40am On May 29, 2016
For a very long time, I have been burdened with the thought “Will I make heaven?” Atheists have said Heaven is a myth told by religious fanatics to make God seem more real and reachable. Whether I believe this theory or not about heaven is a personal thought I am not willing to share but one thing I do believe in is the existence of God.

I have always insisted I am not religious, I am more of a spiritual entity, I believe God can be worshipped in spirit and in truth right in my house and in my heart.

If I am to go back to religion, the two predominant religions on earth (Christianity and Islam) has already stamped it here on earth that if we do not worship God according to their religion we will not make heaven. This is where my dilemma begins, I have asked a million questions in my mind if this is right, what if I decide I do not want to be a Christian anymore, according to the Christian faith I would be an unbeliever and I won’t make heaven, if I were a Muslim and I decide not to be one anymore, this automatically makes me an infidel and also means I won’t make heaven.

I am a pacifist and a good person at heart, isn’t that enough to get me into heaven’s gate? I have repeatedly asked myself, I have killed no one, I love my neighbors, I help the needy, I do not envy and I try to preach love all the time. I love God in my heart and I acknowledge his existence, must I belong to a religious sect to meet him on the last day?

China is the most populated country on earth, with a population of about 1.357 billion, more than half the country worship different gods, does this mean they won’t make heaven? We haven’t talked about India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and so on, if according to the Christian faith all these people are unbelievers does it mean billions of people won’t make heaven?.

The Christians believe the Muslims are unbelievers, and the Muslims believe the Christians are infidels, they both believe any other religion aside theirs are idol worshippers and should never be practiced.

I am of African descent; my ancestors were idol worshippers, millions of them. They didn’t know about the Christian faith back in the day, they worshipped and sacrificed to their idols, does this mean millions of my ancestors didn’t make heaven?.

There are tons of religions on earth aside Islam and Christianity, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Shinto, Gnosticism, Zoroastrianism, Yazdanism, Rastafarian Movement, Indigenous traditional religions, Naturalist religion this is just to name a few and we have millions of people who practice these religions and believe they are communicating with a supreme being, does this mean they won’t make heaven?

The contradictions in these different religions beg the question “Who worships the one true God”? “ If heaven is real who amongst these different religious sect will make heaven”? it is a thing of wonder that these different religious sect seem to believe in one “God” but their religious beliefs must be the right one to meet the same “God” they all seem to believe in.

I was born in a Christian home so that automatically makes me a Christian; I was taught and told that if I associate with an unbeliever I won’t make heaven, this means I have to disassociate myself from non-Christian folks if I wanted to make heaven. This is a funny rule because I have been told the Christian faith is about “LOVE”. When I look at all the radical Muslims and their fastest way of going to heaven to meet “GOD” and their promise of 72 virgins I begin to wonder “WHY IS HEAVEN SO FAR AWAY, WHY MUST WE DO THE UNDOABLE TO GET THERE”.

I know I do not share these thoughts alone, only difference is I am bold enough to write about it and its left me with the question, What must I do to make heaven?

That's how you get it to front page. I'm surprised none of your articles have ever made it there.


If it doesn't get there within the next 15 minutes, you can start chanting snake, Fayose, Buhari, Toolz wedding, Monalisa Chinda, Niger Delta Militants and Tompolo till it gets to frontpage.

Just follow what you believe is right. In christianity, many values set have been hyped and misinterpreted by the present generation.
As a result, being a Christian is portrayed as an increasingly difficult, if not impossible task.

Study the word yourself and act based on what you understood from it. Don't just go ahead following what any random "pastor" tells you. If you see a pastor preaching according to what you understood from your study, you should probably follow him up. That'll help you understand more.

This is like asking, "Must I come from the British royal family to be a Queen/King? If you are not, you are can't be.
In this case, a door is opened for you to enter, you say no, but the requirements is that, you enter through the door, but you insist on staying outside, yet you want to be entitled. Does that make sense even To you?

I am a Christian, being a Christian doesn't mean I won't ask questions about my religion, all I am asking is why my religion says other religions won't make heaven

Hi

As long as you believe that there is only One God a worship no other. And you believe in all his messengers, and his books (Torah, Zabur, Injeel) = Bible and the Qur'an, and you perform Solat, and give Zakat to the poor and do good deeds. I think you are okay. God Knows Best.


Thank You

Except a mean be born again, he can not enter I to the Kingdom of God. by Jesus of Nazareth.


Am not a Muslim so I can't speak for Islam.

And the terms of entry are not the same for muslims and Christians.
In Islam, when your good deeds outweighs your evil deeds, you enter.

In Christianity, righteousness is imputed on us, not worked out. Good works can't redeem your soul from spiritual deathness. Only the blood of Jesus which acts as a Ransom can.
