Good News!
Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven. Others believe that water baptism, obeying the ten commandments or just being a good person will get them to Heaven. There are many other beliefs as well, but the good news about God's way to Heaven is found in the Holy Bible. The good news is that God came from Heaven to earth in the person of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago and died for our sins(misdeeds). He was born in the land of Israel supernaturally to a virgin Jewish woman named Mary. He lived a sinless life for thirty-three years and then sacrificed His sinless blood and died on a cross to pay the death penalty for our sins. After Jesus was placed in a tomb He rose from the dead three days later as He said He would. The Holy Bible also tells us that Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven and that all who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour will live forever with Him in Heaven where there is no more death, sorrow, sickness and pain. The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) This verse in the Bible says, "For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) This verse says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) In this passage the Bible clearly explains how simple it is to be saved and on your way to Heaven, "For if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9) You can be saved right now and on your way to Heaven if you will open your heart to Jesus and pray the following prayer: Dear Jesus Christ, I want to be saved so that I can have a home in Heaven when I die. I agree with You that I am a sinner. I believe You love me and want to save me. I believe that You bled and died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for forgiving me and saving me through Your merciful grace. Amen. You are now a Christian if you said the prayer and allowed God to save you. Welcome to the family of God. Salvation is not a reward but a gift. The Bible says it this way, "For it is by GRACE you have been SAVED, through FAITH and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God." (Ephesians 2:8) Nothing in the world is more important than your eternal destiny. The Bible says, "In Him(Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins..." (Ephesians 1:7) If you have not yet made a decision to be saved, please do so now before it is too late. The reason why it is so important to be saved now is because you do not know exactly when you will die. You may die prematurely in a traffic accident, terrorist attack or some other way before you get another chance to be saved. The Bible tells us that we will spend eternity in Heaven or a place of eternal torment called Hell. It would be terrible to die and go to Hell when all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. Some people that have already made Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour worry about losing their salvation. The Bible teaches Christians that we can never lose our salvation no matter what happens. The Bible says it this way, "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense Jesus Christ, the Righteous One." (1John 2:1) Yes my friend, Jesus Christ is able to save you and keep you saved. Please tell your family and friends, thanks! Have a great day! Internet Evangelist R.L.

No one thinks that going to a synagogue will get them into heaven, since anyone going to a synagogue knows there is no heaven. What you have is now; make the best of it.

AAMOF, why profess any faith at all if there is no heaven? One goes to synagogue for communal prayer. One professes a faith because it helps them lead a morally correct life. Both are optional aids to leading a morally correct life. If believing in heaven works for you, then it is what you should believe; all paths are equally good. (You won't be dissappointed. (no opportunity to be)) Appears the Sadduccee sect won -- at least in the version of Judaism you are discussing. No reference in the Bible to heaven or any sort of life after death in the Bible. (er, Torah) Well, there is that one story where King Saul consults with spirits, but he was mad at the time. |

There are at least as many loony-tunes who profess to be Christians. |

(er, Torah) Well, there is that one story where King Saul consults with spirits, but he was mad at the time. I understand that the notion of heaven as being a pleasant place that the average person went after death was rather radical at the time and that establishment of suicide as a sin in Christianity was the result of too many Christians immolating themselves in order to escape their miserable existence in Pagan Rome and go to a better life in heaven. We are now seeing something similar among loony-tunes who profess to be Muslims (I understand that no orthodox Islamic sect believes that suicide-bombing is a path to heaven, but that doesn't stop the nutcakes--does Islam also have a hell to which they could be consigned?). This is inconsistent with scripture or history. Old Testament writings, including Psalms (" ... and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever ..."), Job, (" ... and I will see him with my own eyes, mine, and not those of another ... ") all gave indication of life after death. In the synoptic gospels, the teaching of Christ are replete with references to the afterlife and the refutation of the Sadduccees' denial of the resurrection. The Epistles of Paul further refute those who denied the resurrection of the dead. I have read nothing in any history of the early church of Christians immolating themselves -- this immolation was done by the Roman government during various persecutions of the church. Both Old and New-testament (i.e., Jewish and early Christian teachings always forbade suicide). +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The absence of accidents does not mean the presence of safety Army General Richard Cody +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
