I don't think you understand what I'm saying. As long as you're good at heart, you'll subconsciously choose yes, but if you're bad, then you'll choosd no.
why do so many people believe getting into heaven is about being "Good" Its not about being good or evil.
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be damned" Mark 16:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
If your still not convinced of a second chance, read about lazarus and the rich man. Too lazy to read? let me sum it up for you.
Luke 16:19-31 'There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
'And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
'And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
'And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
'And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
'And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
'But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivest thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
'Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
'For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
'Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
'And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
'And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.'
As you can see, the rich man, who ended up in hell, wanted to go and tell his brethren of the word. Not given a second chance, he was, and still to this day, damned in hell.
Thanks somers i've been trying to convince orion that there's no second chance. Is that teh story with teh rich guy and begger at his door, Im pretty sure it is.
John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life no one can get to the Father except through me.
Yep, they were called Indulgences back then Somers. Go go Martin Luther for seeing through this stupid idea and breaking away from the Church. A man of his time.
Lol what a stupid idea, I thought people had some common sense back then :/
Actually if you think about it, this was a great idea. The Church made a good chunk of change off of this. It's too bad for the people who bought them fully believing in what they had purchased.
The left behind series is a christian series. I only remeber teh childrens version. It was written by Jerry B. Jenkins and it's his idea of the end times. It is exacty what I beleive also. It's about 4 kids mainly that were left behind after the rapture. They tried to get people to become christians during the tribulation. They were righting a newpaper called teh underground. I suggest you read tehm if you want to learn more about the rapture.
i think that it will be weird for the people who don't go to heaven in the rapure, because if like someone was walking down the street. then all of a sudden more than half the worlds population is gone.
