That is what they think..
If you are a christain,you AUTOMATICALLY go to heaven (no matter how bad you are)
and if you are not a christain,you AUTOMATICALLY go to hell..
same applies to the Muslims.
Everyone thinks the world revolves around their own religion and ONLY their religion is true.
I wonder how our morally-upright traditionalist forefathers were judged?
Or
what will happen to the billions of people who arent practising your own religion?
They will all go to hell abi?

A christain girl once told me the whites brought God to Africa.. I wonder what the blacks were worshipping before then cos i know Olodumare in Yoruba traditional religion means God.. Or probably God created himself for the whites and Created the devil and evil spirits for the blacks

You are wrong. A christian of sinful nature goes to hell. But note that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to God except through Jesus. All power in heaven and on earth is given to him. Even the koran comfirms that Jesus will judge the world at the end of time. If you have not found it in your koran, dig deeper or ask your scholar.

1. Do me a little favor by quoting the verse(s) of the Quran that preaches violence as a way of life and the sunnah of the prophet that confirms the above.
2. Ever read the bible from genesis to revelation?
Guess u didn't noticed the contradictions in it, right?

Or u didn't noticed what Jesus forbade that u Christains, still continue to do?

Lastly, all Muslims believe in Jesus Christ and any Muslim that doesn't believe in him, is not a Muslim.

Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 85:
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
(English - Mohsin Khan)
lol you guys are funny, is like you people don't know the meaning of Christ you tag in Jesus name. Lol when you people believe in Jesus the prophet not Jesus Christ the messiah. Lol
Re: Are Christians The Only People Who Will Go To Heaven? by kingyong2473(m): 10:21am On Jun 04, 2017
First of all the gospel of Jesus Christ birth and resurrection is foolishness to those who are perishing, except the spirit of God moves you, you can't know Christ. Is not just about being a Christian it is about being a believer and surrendering your behavior and way of life to the one who owns the world.
It is not delusional to say heaven and hell is real, of course there is a day to give account for everything little or small you did.
You can't be saved by just your good works, I wish we could but is impossible. Haven't you heared, your faith and your works has to show together. Not enough to be just doing good but is better for you to find Christ for benefits such as finding strength to do good to your neighbors.

gentlegenius:

If the Christians you are referring to are simply those who belongs to the Christianity religion, then you have a very wrong ideology about making Heaven.
Do you know that all the religions and religious groups we have here on earth(including Christianity) is false, fake and useless before God?
The Bible says that "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" (James 1:27).
I am quoting the Bible because I believe you belong to Christianity religion and should therefore believe everything in the Bible.
As you can see, the only religion God our father recognise as true and genuine is summarised in 2 things- HOLINESS and KINDNESS. Aside these, every other things we call religion is false and fake in God's perspective. But you must recognise the fact that these 2 things has nothing to do with where we belong but has everything to do with our lifestyle and what we practice. When a certain rich man confronted Jesus with the question: what shall I do to make heaven, Jesus didn't tell him to join any religion or believe in him as the son of God; but rather, he told him to keep the commandments so as to be HOLY before God and to sell his riches to help the poor so as to be KIND before God. This was a strong confirmation that HOLINESS and KINDNESS are the only things that matter to God, and our only ticket to heaven. Jesus didn't come to give us any new law other than the 10 commandments. His only law for us was to love one another which is only a summary of the 10 commandments. He never told us to believe in him as part of the conditions he gave for making Heaven. So irrespective of the religious group you belong, if you can practice HOLINESS and KINDNESS, and meet the conditions Jesus gave for salvation, you'll be saved when he comes to judge the world. After all, there were people who lived and died in the old testament era, who neither knew Jesus nor believe in him yet they made heaven.
Read your Bible very well and stop believing that salvation is for Christians alone. Also, For your information, Christians are not the only people on earth that knows Jesus and believe in his name.

People have been brainwashed into accepting just anything as right and true especially when it comes from someone with perceived authority such as the pastors and bishops.

The question of getting to heaven has been clearly defined in the Bible. So do not allow anybody deceive you with vain words.

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Did you hear that? It's the elect he is interested in and unfortunately, the elect is not measured and/or determined by religious affiliation.

The criteria is simple and enough to accommodate anybody from any tribe, race and under any religion.

That standard by which people may be judged by to ascertain if they belong to this elect class is namely that if they confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead.

First of we have to understand the true meaning of Christian.
The word Christian means a Christ like person, a person that has the character and meekness of JESUS Christ of Nazareth..
Now heaven was created by the Father (jehovah)of Jesus Christ..
Everything in heaven revolves around JESUS, so it's only those that are Christ like that will make heaven..
so you cannot be worshiping other gods and shouting Allah and expect to be where JESUS rule...

so yes it is only Christian that follows the law of JESUS, i mean it is only the good and faithful Christian that will make heaven.
Pls can you give me three laws with Bible reference which you and the Christians are following.

Well, Quran has the answer.

Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in God and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
[ Quran 2:62 ]
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians and Christians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in God and the Last Day and does good, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
[ Quran 5:69 ]
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, Christians, Magi, and the polytheists—God will judge between them ˹all˺ on Judgment Day. Surely God is a Witness over all things.

Is there any prophecy or any name "Jesus" in old testament?.. if non why do demand Muslim to show you Muhammad as name in old testament. If you want Muslim to show you the name Muhammad then you will have to get the Hebrew Bible and not translation into English or other Language.

Guys, what'd you think?

cc: Lalasticlala

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.  Rev 20:15 

There will be no "Christian" in God's Heaven as defined by you, those who will be in Heaven are those who have responded to Jesus Christ and are trusting Him for their eternal salvation, In God's Heaven. Jesus is God's measure and means for entry. THERE IS NO OTHER MEANS, being Good and Moral, outward Piety and all that thing you call goodness cannot admit anyone into God's eternal Heaven.

God made Jesus ONLY is parameter for admittance, There is no other merit. FASTING will not do, any form of punishment inflicted on ourselves to attain Gods heaven is a Hoax, God demands a perfect obedience and the only One who meets Gods standard is Jesus and He calls all men to look unto Him and trust in His death which God accepts for redemption

To look elsewhere is to dare God and call God a liar.

those who will be in God's heaven are the Blood washed, May God in mercy count us worthy as we look to Jesus

This is not true

Satan and Yahweh are bestest buddies. The Book of Job has Satan having a pleasant chat with Yahweh, during which they make a bet involving killing people and screwing one guy over. Nope, there's no animosity between Yahweh and Satan in the least. They get along just fine.

Moreover, what we learned from the book of Job is that Satan can't do anything without God's explicit permission - God keeps him on a very short leash. So let's have none of this trying to excuse God for what Satan does - he's like that guy who lets his dog poop on your lawn while he's taking him for a walk.

According to the accounts of why David did a census in Samuel and Chronicles, Satan and Yahweh are beyond best buddies. If the angel of the Lord is the Holy Ghost, then Satan is a part of godhead that must be a quadrants, at least.

what nonsense! The Egyptians don't need to contest it cuz even the Jews themselves don't believe that nonsense read up and cure your ignorance http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/judaism/2004/12/did-the-exodus-really-happen.aspx

In addition to the fact that there is nothing in all of Egypt's history, which mentions a Pharoah who perished by drowning in pursuit of millions... nor the existence of millions of hebrew slaves, nor devastating plagues... in fact, if things transpired as the bible described, Egypt would have crumbled and never recover...
Imagine the economic implication of a nation losing its basic workforce of slaves over night... and having millions of its sons die in one night... all this after a series of devastating plagues which would bring the mightiest empire to its knees...
Yet, Egypt remained a powerful nation, economically and militarily for a very very long time...


There are stories of people praying to the Christian God and being healed.

There are stories of people praying to non-Christian gods and being healed.

There are stories of people praying to no gods and being healed.

There are stories of members of all three categories who are not healed.

How do we figure out if anything is going on except confirmation bias? We find people who are sick, we have some prayed for and some not, and we see if there is a different recovery rate. The Templeton Foundation - a group inclined to believe that prayer is effective - ran exactly that experiment and found no difference.

I can go on a limb and say You don't have millions of answered prayers; you have millions of people who're determined to believe that their prayers were answered. Big difference.
the Koran also says similar

yeah, let's examine your hypocrisy, do you condemn the killing of the Canaanite and Midianite infants?

if Yes, you're not a hypocrite, if no then you have no grounds to criticise Islam because the Israeli soldiers killed the infants on the instructions from their god and Islamic terrorists carry out same instructions from their god, pick one, wither way its lose lose


of course this is what they call fallacy of circular reasoning, you're using the bible to confirm the Bible

that's like assuming harry potter is real because the book said so and therefore whatever is written there is valid

pure nonsense

I mean that there are other religions in the world that recognise Jesus Christ and believe in his name. For example, I know a certain man in my place whom we think belongs to a powerful society. He has a sanctuary in his house and in that sanctuary there was always a bible, 7 books of Moses, cross and pictures of Jesus Christ. The man was always very free with people and once took my dad into his sanctuary. When my dad saw the Bible and pictures of Jesus Christ he was surprised because the man doesn't go to any church. He asked him what pictures of Jesus on the cross are doing in his sanctuary and he replied that he belongs to a very strange religion called the White brotherhood and in their religion, they used the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ. He said the Bible and the name of Jesus are two powerful things their religion doesn't joke with. He also told my dad that there are many other unfamiliar religions on earth that uses the Bible and believes in the name of Jesus. But like I said earlier, believing in Christ is not a condition for salvation because even the demons believe in him.
