This is a question which comes in my mind many a times. I have heard about people doing all bad deeds and still going to heaven as they surrendered to god at last moment of life. I have something to share with you ..... Thought about the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who suffered unspeakable brutality and death by the Nazis. The great majority of the victims lived righteous lives, loved God, and kept the commandments, and taught their children likewise. Then I considered a hypothetical Nazi, a former deathcamp employee, who, after the war, said to himself: "Times have changed; I can't kill any more Jews, perhaps I should repent." Maybe he comes to America and in a Baptist church he kneels at the altar and asks Jesus Christ into his heart. He convinces others, perhaps even himself, that his repentence is genuine; never mind he has the blood of thousands on his hands. Perhaps his conversion is a good practical move as well. He dies and goes to Heaven, and is met by Jesus' outstretched arms. Those people who had suffered and died at his hands are in Hell, torment worse than anything on earth. They will suffer the torment of Hell forever; their God was not Jesus. Is it true, what do you think about this story?? Where do you think you will be going and why??? And if gone to heaven do you deserve to be in heaven?? ( lots of question can answer any two. lolz )

I believe that God makes certain allowances when it comes to people who are innocently murdered. I believe that murder is the devil's work because he has destroyed someone who could have brought millions to God. I think God wants as many people as possible to go to Heaven, but he doesn't want anyone who is against him to be there. I would suggest that everyone get to know God through prayer and He will reveal Himself to everyone. It's important that everyone know Him so that when they get to Heaven they can recognize Him. Ultimately, though, it is up to God to make the final decision regarding this. He knows what's in everyone's heart.

I agree with you but god is exactly like mylot people where we have no idea what quality is . All we need is to try to get best out of us and even we don't know whether it pays us or not lolz. I mean there is no specific thing called good or bad , we are only responsible to call something as sin .

As per the above story the person who killed people reached heaven.Is this due to the repentence he felt for his sins which could have made god think that he deserves a place in heaven.iam really confused as i have heard that people doing crimes, sins reach hell and never get a place in heaven where the soul of good heart people reach. But as of me i have not done any harm to people in my life till now so i feel i deserve heaven.

I think that the most important thing you should do is simply believe in God and really REGRET your sins. As we know Jesus will forgive us even if we have done horrible things but we really and REALLY regret it. This story is a pure example of it. I believe in God myself and I don't know whether I'll go to Heaven or hell and I admit that I am not the best person out there.

I will surely not go into a contoversy , but surely want to go to heaven. Strictly speaking even if the story is true I feel the second half isnt because here we are tought that " Good is one " or what we say " sab ka malik ek hai ". So there cannot be a diversification of souls for the position in heaven by their god.

Let us all first of all find out the places called HEAVEN & HELL. There will be somebody governing these places if at all they exist. It will be then very easy to find out if you are going to heaven or hell. Simply ask the commandant governing these places. As far as Nazi incident, they created hells on this very earth & the similar type of incidents are occuring even today in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc. etc. Science says that EVERY ACTION HAS GOT EQUAL & OPPOSITE REACTION. This principle explains why there are hell like situations on this earth. They exist because there are heaven like places also on this very earth.

only God can say who will go to heaven and only he can tell if they are worthy it is not for us as humans to judge anyone for only God knows the true content of a persons heart and since it is heaven we will retain no knowledge of evil done to us here on earth if we did would it raly be heaven?

If you read the Bible, it all seems pretty simple - those who accept Jesus as God's son, that he came to earth to die for our sins go to heaven, and those who do not accept this go to hell. It is not a matter of good deeds - if it were a matter of good deeds then everyone would be fighting over who did more good - and our focus isn't supposed to be on ourselves, it is supposed to be on God. The Bible also says all sin is the same - not one sin is worse than another. So those people in your story who worshiped another god were sinners because they rejected Jesus and that sin is the same as those who killed them. There are no 'innocent' people - everyone sins and does evil things. The exception could be children who are not in the mindset to know any better and are not able to make a decision for themselves. If we do not ask for forgiveness of our sins then we will not reap the rewards of heaven - our heart has to be in the right place. In my opinion the Nazi you mentioned in your story who asks for forgiveness does not seem to have his heart in the right place. Rather than admitting he was wrong and sorry for his actions, his reason to repent is - "I can't kill anymore Jews." Not that he regrets what he did. None of us are worthy to go to Heaven, but by God's grace he allows us to go there if we accept him. I believe that I will go to Heaven - I accepted Jesus into my heart nearly ten years ago. Everyday I know that I am not worthy, but it only makes me try harder to be a shining example of God's grace and love.

I think heaven and hell are hypothetical places. They don't even exist. They have been created by us only to inspire people to do good so that they go to heaven after they die.

verdict of going to hell or heaven is not to be decided by some freaking writer down here.It is the whole life who must be accounted for.May be a evil-doers can be panalised less due to his repentance by the end of his life but his deeds can't go unaccounted for.So I don't believe in this story al all..

God has his own will. What we have to do while living on earth is to do our best and actual however hard we try, we commit sins now and again. So place us in God's hand and let him clean our sin with the blood of Jesus Christ. We easily see other people's sin and think theirs are severe while we can hardly see our own's and surely think ours are just some minor mistakes. So when we envy or feel jealous of others going to heaven, don't forget we might be a greater sinner than they are. In God's eyes, we are no different from the former deathcamp employee. Only by believing in Jesus can we be saved.

How do you know that they go to heaven if they have done wrong and especially as no one comes back to tell us if they have been there or not. This is up to God and also it depends on what they have done. I believe that I will go to heaven as I have done some things wrong but not that bad like you are saying here as no one is without sin but you have to repent and change your life around and stay close to God, and then you will have a better chance of going to heaven.

i dont think His court of judgement works in this manner.if u believe in Him he will definitely love u and He is always there to show u the path which leads to the heaven. the peaple who dont believe in Him chose the different path i.e way to hell. where will i go(read it) written with a pen, sealed with a kiss. if you're my friend please answer this are we friends or are we not? you told me once but i forgot. tell me now abd tell me true, so i can say, i'm here for you, of all the friends i've ever met, you're the one i won't forget. and is i die before you do, i'll go to heaven and wait for you. if you're not there on judgement day, i'll know you went the other way. i'll give the angels back their wings, and risk the loss of everything. just to prove my friendship is true, i'll go to hell to be with you.
