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. Grossi

No one thinks that going to a synagogue will get them into heaven, since
anyone going to a synagogue knows there is no heaven.

So what's the point of going to a synagogue then? AAMOF, why profess any
faith at all if there is no heaven?

Appears the Sadduccee sect won -- at least in the version of Judaism you
are discussing.

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))

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.

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).
