No Religions in HEAVEN

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO ...HEAVEN?

Heaven is a place of many mansions created by Elohim.


But for most of us, it is just a myth which is equally
defined as a place that created by our own minds
absence of tangible proof but only based upon
scriptural belief. The author of the book of Hebrew
defines faith as being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrew 11:1).

Since Heaven is almost a place of non


verifiable existence, so most people describe
its reality with their limited spiritual
experiences which could be considered as
merely paranormal phenomenon.
Clergymen and religious peoples are safe
enough to define it as according to their faith
authored by the Holy Spirit. Since heaven is
so vague, it is no wonder that one third of the
inhabitants of this earth have chosen to deny
the existence of God and Heaven.

There was an old story which told us that he


was taken up by an angel of the Lord to
heaven and to his amazement that none of
the inhabitants of heaven affiliated by any
creed or religion. This affirms the fact that
religions are only for the earthlings whereas
heaven is melted in the ocean love, power,
and God’s glory. The coexistence of Heaven's
inhabitants is weaved by the power of
unconditional love.
Jesus mentioned Heart Purity as the
prerequisite of seeing God in his Sermon of
beatitudes'. And that is the prerequisite of
heaven which is only attainable through
our atonement by Jesus.

All religions provide the laws that dictate our


lives on earth. Therefore, we are contented
that religions are truly for the inhabitants of
the earth whereas heavens are Spiritual
realms without any creed of belief. We might
have to wait our afterlife existences in order
to see the exact realities of heaven.

In Christianity, the time line from Creation to


Apocalypse tells us that God had protected a
special lineage of descendant from Noah-
Abraham-Isaac-Israel-David and ended up to
Jesus who presented himself as the awaited
Messiah who had had fulfilled most of the
written prophesies in the scrolls so that there
will be SALVATION for the whole fallen
descendants of Adam. The Scriptures tell us
that a few holy persons had ascended to
heaven like Enoch and Prophet Elijah. And
that very few cases of ascension might not be
enough to describe the reality of heaven as
far as empirical-oriented-mind is concerned.

Who are going to enter Heaven?

We know that only God is Omnipresence,


Omniscience, and Omnipotent and no person
would be qualified to be in that position to
become the ultimate JUDGE of men. If that
is the case, then nobody has the right to pin
point one's salvation either in going to HELL
or to HEAVEN. It would be blasphemous to
steal the Judgment Seat that only rightfully
belonged to God. Who dare to take the seat
on that Chair? At best, one is only permitted
to exhort to those other sinners regarding
their obligation to adhere the given
Commandments of the new covenant.

The case of the dying good thief promised by


Jesus to be in Heaven with Him as mentioned
in Luke 23: 39 - 43 challenges the
mainstream teachings about entering heaven
and it does remind us of our inability of
fairness of judgment like God. The so called
good thief was far from being good in our
eyes since he was, indeed, a first class
criminal during Roman times. What were the
good thief’s qualifications of being a morally
good person? Nothing! And yet he entered
heaven...that would be the proof of pure
Grace of God.

Though we are prohibited from judging one's


destiny either hell or heaven, it is
understandable that parents are obliged to
exercise their parenting responsibilities in
teaching religions for their children. Since,
religion/church is functioning as the lamp
stand of acquainting them with the Savior.
Cases of changing belief among our children
might become the source of temptation to the
worrying parents. They are tempted to judge
their salvation. We should not be tempted to
play the savior’s role since we are only
obliged to teach them Christian values and
NOT TO SAVE them from Hell. It would be
definitely wrong if we assume THE ROLE OF
THE SAVIOR since it is only rightfully
belonged to Jesus. It would bring us
unhappiness if we fail to understand this
limitation of our roles as Christian parents.

For those who don't want to go to heaven,


that would be fine. It is understood. As
descendants of a fallen Adam, we are
dominantly gravitated to the things of the
earth through our five senses. Most of us
define LIFE via FIVE SENSES. Beyond that
five senses would be meaningless.

We do not have that sixth sense to perceive


and to see the realities of Heaven. We are
very much wrapped with this physical-
material realities and thus blocking our
spiritual eyes in seeing and believing the
existence of heaven.

I wouldn't be surprised if people don't even


bother about heaven since it is better for
them to FOCUS life on this earth, at least,
they would be satisfied with secular
definition of life which are namely Amassing
FORTUNE, Gaining FAME, Enjoying
PLEASURE, and Seeking POWER (any type of
power as according to your choices). If any
of us attain those 2 F-2 P syndromes then we
would say that we have proven our
SUCCESSESS and WORTHINESS in this
temporary life on earth. Our 5-senses-
orientation gravitates our struggles merely
on material-physical survival on earth.

But for those who believe in the existence of


heaven, our life on earth have to be defined
relevantly according to the teachings of the
Scriptures otherwise we would be unhappy
and deluded. The gravity of material-
physical survival causes us to prioritize
earth's matters. We might also place that
heaven’s businesses as the least priorities
due to the demands of proving our
worthiness on earth according to SECULAR
definitions.

Most of us find one foot stepping on earth


and another foot in heaven and that divides
our FOCUS of life on earth. Our dispersed
FOCUS does not make any good to us in
MAKING life on earth. Priority is the reason
why most of us don’t even bother about the
matter of going to heaven. The idea of heaven
is only impeding our beloved activities of life
on earth.
In fact, heaven is only APPEALING to those
who are enlightened by the HOLY SPIRIT.
So, I think we don't have to force Heaven's
matters upon others. It won't be an attractive
subject to talk about. For those who believe
in the testimonies by the SPIRIT, by the
BLOOD and by the WATER, heaven would be
the SOURCE of Hope, Faith and Love...

Please...don't ask me the tips of entering


heaven for that subject would be better
answered by the religious holy Clergymen or
by those who claimed to be coexisting with
Christ Jesus and Adonai Avinu.

John 14:6
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the truth, and
the Life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.
