| Axe To The Roots: 50 Questions To Challenge Traditional Christian Beliefs |
HELL & HEAVEN (Continued)
by LC
Question Twenty Eight: Many believe very few people will be saved and make it to heaven. How
could Jesus say he would draw all men unto himself? Why did Paul say in I Corinthians, "all
shall be made alive?" (John 12:32; I Cor. 15:22,28; Col. 1:20; II Cor. 5:19)
Question Twenty Nine: If you believe only some people will inherit heaven and eternal life, what
percentage would be saved in your opinion? If all are not saved from hell, wouldn't that mean
Jesus and God failed in their plan to "destroy the works of the devil," making the devil victorious if
even one perishes? Who is more powerful, God or the devil, and which one failed since both
could not be victorious? (I John 3:8)
Question Thirty: When the disciples asked, "Who then shall be saved?," Jesus replied, "The
things that are impossible with men are possible with God." How can some still teach it to be
impossible for all to be saved? Didn't Jesus answer man's doubts in his response?
(Luke 18:26-27)
Question Thirty One: Jesus called heaven "the kingdom of God" and the "kingdom of heaven."
In fact, both were used interchangeably in the same parables that were recorded by the different
authors of the four gospels. The very word "kingdom" implies the totality of all God has and is,
heaven obviously being included. Why, then, do we wait to "go to heaven" some day after we
die, when Jesus plainly stated that the kingdom is here now and within us? What does that
mean? (Matt. 3:2; Mark 1:15; Luke 17:21)
Question Thirty Two: A common belief of most christians is that unless one worships Jesus
alone, heaven is unattainable. They base this doctrine upon the scripture, "no man comes to the
Father (God), but by me (Jesus)." Jesus' ministry showed us how to live and how to love. He
led by example. He showed us how to follow our heavenly Father. In essence, when you look at
Jesus and his life, you should see yourself and your life. How might that give new understanding
to the above verse of scripture? (John 14:5-7)
