Do you think you're going to heaven?

[Fatimah1]

﴾Quran 47:15﴿ "Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water💦 unaltered, rivers of milk🥛 the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine🍷 delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey🍯, in which they will have from all [kinds of] fruits🍒🍓🍎🍉🍑🍊🍋🍍🥑🍏🍐🥝 and forgiveness from their Lord🤍👑…"

I will go to Heaven because I am a Muslim😌

[lightbulb27]

I don't think that is correct theologically. Didn't the honorable profit say himself..."I don't know what Allah will do with me"... and counting of good and bad deeds? It is not assured in Muslim as far as I know, so keep reading.

It is not assured in Christianity either, of which I am. I have a choice, you do not, so I respect you for that. Americans have freedom which we take for granted all too often.

I chose Christianity over anything else I saw, as it makes sense to me. the problem is my failures hit me hard when I have an opportunity to reach a lost soul and that makes me feel like a failure and creates doubts for when that time comes. Thus my goal is to do God's work. The Bible, new testament does provide support to renew again... assurance of heaven. So we keep walking the faithful path, to do God's will... that is to bring others to Christ, to live in love as he did, in the moment, so that we can go to the place He has prepared of his spirit, which is based upon love, rather than this world of fear and shame and such.

And so it goes until I cross over and find out. I can only hope I get a "well done good and faithful servant". Sometimes, I don't feel that way.

My reading of science recently supports the claims Christ made and of heaven.

I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope you go to heaven. The only one I know of that I value, as supported in the texts, is via Christ. That can be done in the privacy of your own heart. Some people turn to Christ in their last moments.

I wish for you and you country and faith to be more accepting of others, not persecute Christians or others.

If buxom blondes abound in Heaven, sign me up !!!

[Daniela1982]

@handsomelad70 Didn't you hear about Hell? Satan says it is not that bad. All you do there is drink cans of beer and have fun with wild women. But then St. Peter said, "You see those cans of beer? They all have holes in the bottom. See those women? They don't have any holes in their bottoms.

@daniela1982 are you warming up for a comedy tour?:)

[OtterMan68]

Yes

Matthew 25:31-46

The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

[Fatimah1]

Quran
(5:72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.

(5:73) They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

(5:74) So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

(5:75) The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.

(5:76) Say, "Do you worship besides Allah that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allah who is the Hearing, the Knowing?"

(5:77) Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."

[Bilboes]

As an agnostic woman, I don't believe in a concept like heaven. But all my life I've tried to do good things and help people. That's enough for me..

[strateguy632]

but who defines what is good? is harming a fetus good? is promoter of harming a human fetus a good person?

[MemeSupreme]

bro imma pop my feet up and drink a cold one with satan

[Daniela1982]

@MemeSupreme No you won't. Didn't you hear about Hell? Satan says it is not that bad. All you do there is drink cans of beer and have fun with wild women. But then St. Peter said, "You see those cans of beer? They all have holes in the bottom. See those women? They don't have any holes in their bottoms. 😂🤣😅

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Only God knows who is going to Heaven or Hell. It is sacrilegious to say for certain that you earned Heaven. Just because you are Muslim doesn't mean you are definitely going to Heaven. There will be many Muslims in Hell because of their deeds.

[Fatimah1]

The Prophet said:
"Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, that ‘Isa (Jesus) is the slave and Messenger of Allah, and His word which He communicated to Maryam, and a spirit from Him; and that Paradise is true and Hell is true, Allah will certainly admit him into Paradise, regardless of the deeds which he has done."

[Fatimah1]

However, there are some situations that Decouple from religion, for example, living among infidels or being friends with infidels.

[HaveNoName]

As Musims, even though we might end up in heaven eventually if we stuck to righteousness to the best of our ability, AND if we gain God's mercy, we will still have to spend time in hell for all the major sins we may have done that did not get forgiven. We can pray for forgiveness and keep the faith in God's mercy but God does not owe us anything and God does not need anything from us. WE need God. Also, what about our evil deeds towards other humans or disobedient deeds towards our parents? God leaves a caveat. Those people have to forgive us first. We cannot take it for granted we will go straight to heaven.

[Daniela1982]

@HaveNoName No one can earn their way to Heaven. You obtain it by God's Grace as a free gift, made possible by His Son, Jesus Christ who shed His blood on the cross to pay for your sins so you don't have to. ( Ephesians 2:8-9) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
You get it by faith in Christ, by asking Him into your heart as your Savior, and repenting of your sins.

[HaveNoName]

@Daniela1982 Thank you but I do not believe in what Jesus did not say himself. I do not take Mathew, Mark, Luke And John's words as word of God.

[HaveNoName]

Jesus said he had come not to change any rule of the previous prophets and their books. Mosaic law applies to Christians yet none of them folllow it.

[HaveNoName]

The God that Christianity want to believe is so weak that he cannot forgive his own creation. So he first created man and then made them sinful from birth fonninfault if theirs, then he as he is very weak, he had to gove burth to a son and rgen had to kill the son as the son eas now responsible for the acts of humanity for no fault of the "son".

Amazing !! What nonsense. All created 300-400 years after Jesus.

[HaveNoName]

/for not fault of theirs/ (typo correction)

[Berethor]

No one is going there most likely, if you believe in Heaven then why you don't want to die?

[Fatimah1]

I want to die🌈☁️

[loveslongnails]

It doesn't exist the way you describe it. If it did, what would you do - eat honey, bath in rivers of wine and eat fruit for all of eternity? You'd be bored as fuck. What kind of reward would that be? Besides, if you're existing as a spiritual being, you wouldn't need food as we know it. Therefore, this description of your heaven, or any heaven mentioning food, has to be allegorical at best.

[Daniela1982]

@loveslongnails - If you read the book "Heaven", by Randy Alcorn, it tells all about Heaven - providing Bible verses to support it - What it will be like, what you will be doing there, what kind of bodies you will have - Not as a spirt, but with your old body, just glorified. Heaven is going to be far from boring. There is just no words to express what it will be like. God will be dwelling in the New Jerusalem on the New Earth and w with Him, forever. It was good reading and answered a lot of the questions I had - boredom being one of them too. 😇👼🏼

[loveslongnails]

@Daniela1982 Sorry kid, if you believe a physical body could exist on a higher plane, have at it. The idea itself is absurd to me. If you want to stretch your brain with information from an academic expert on the Bible, who speaks the languages it was written in, check out Dan McClellan, PhD on the web, YouTube and TikTok. He's about the study of it, and what it really says in translation, and not anything at all to do with religious interpretation.

You're all about what you choose to believe, which is fine, but I don't have the time or energy to dispute or discuss specific Bible passages as proof of this or that, especially when I don't know the original text. The only thing you know is scribes (men) and the church (men) want you to see. I do not accept the notion that " it's in the Bible, therefore it has to be absolute truth". You seem to.

[Daniela1982]

I just assumed that if someone was on this thread that they might be interested in what the main source of information - the Bible - says about it. I mean anyone can say anything, but without the source of the information, conjecture is pointless. But lets be honest. If it wasn't in the Bible no one would even know about Heaven, or Hell, or even want to know.

[loveslongnails]

@Daniela1982 So you're saying if the mention of it wasn't in any religious doctrines, you wouldn't know it existed OR IF it even existed! Guess what? You still don't "know it", you "believe it" BECAUSE of your book.

[Daniela1982]

@loveslongnails In this world it is only the belief in an afterlife that keeps a lot of people going. I am not alone. Mostly all cultures that have been on Earth have believed in gods or a higher being. Now if we all are descended from Adam that would kind of make sense. If there is no God then where did everything and everyone come from? Science can't explain it, they can only guess. And what they believe 20 years ago changes every year. Fact is they know nothing. Even people who don't believe in God have morals or some sort. I conjecture that if all the people who believe in God didn't, our civilization would have destroyed itself by now.

[loveslongnails]

@Daniela1982 I don't agree with you at all. There are millions of people who don't know where the origin of life stems from, and they don't "need" to call it God to explain it. No one can explain where the first molecule of the first element came from because no one can explain "nothingness".

On the same token, no one can explain where or why God came from either, even if you believe in God. There is NO explanation for that either. How was God created? No believer can even BEGIN to explain that, but they don't really question it either. If you're a believer, you just accept that God is and always was and that's all there is to it, let's take it from there. Everything you believe thereafter is wholly based on your willingness to accept that as fact and unanswerable.

[Daniela1982]

God said it Himself to explain He has been around forever. "I am that I am!"

[andreasderjuengere]

The advertising of travelling agencies, and reality often do not match.
If I get there, it will depend on how I qualified I will be seen by God.
Signing up with a specific club will not help me in this.
So: wait and see.

[Bricealan]

I only wish there were such a place, but I am a realist. I try to live a good life, treat others with love and respect, do not harm anyone. When I die I will die, after a full life

[Siri137]

I'm not going anywhere, apart from either into the ground or, if I decide on cremation, scattered across the beach. Heaven isn't real, and neither is hell.

[Paris13]

My Lord is My Father Since Day One, hun... He Who Believeith in Him Shall Never Perish But Have Life Ever After. xxoo

[lucas262]

Yes, I believe I'm going to heaven because I accepted the payment of Jesus christ for my sins, my way is paid. I'm not going to heaven because I'm a good person, or s perfect Christian. The one and only reason is because of him. It's really simple

[TommyMountainFigure]

I would rather concentrate on where I go when I'm alive, more so than when I'm dead!

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't think any of us are. It doesn't exist.

[Deepinthought345]

I sincerely hope you do. I am however, going to be a part of the earth and continue to sustain it.

[Cubus]

I am not the right person to judge if I deserve it or not

[AlexEfron]

And what does the verse following that say? 😏

[Staximus]

I don't think there is a heaven, there's zero proof.

[strateguy632]

before they had radio receivers they couldn't prove radio waves, does that mean their weren't yet radio waves? because zero proof?
or before they proved general relativity did they delay using it for those decades because not yet proven?

[sawno]

I will go to the place I belong.

[V_Injector]

Where is my 40 virgins?

[FreyaRed]

Yeah. To lava party where Lucifer is the DJ

[slatyb]

No, heaven isn't real.

[Sonorous]

Nope. But I wouldn't want to anyway.
