good post
I personally would be very happy to see you in heaven. Who knows who will be there? I think there will be quite a few surprises.

Memories
I myself was told that I was not good enough for God. Maybe God gives them a personal lists of names who get's in and who don't. What was the number in the bible. 144,000. We'll if that number is exact we are all screwed. I don't really think that that is the number either. Billions of people have lived and died since the earth began. God is in the heart and soul and hopefully the mind.He himself will decide. Some of these religions don't even know where their going. How will they know where we are going?

Heaven is a big place.
As big as your heart. How many can fit in the temple of your heart is how many will enter heaven in your world. Vib

what a great post! You know, I used to cry when I was a child when I heard of Christian missionaries going into the wilds of Africa to "Christianize" the tribes that had never heard of Christ - to save them. I would cry for them because I beleived that God would excuse them for not knowing Jesus and let them into heaven, as long as they hadn't been told about Jesus... but what if they heard and didn't believe?! Then they would go to hell! That didn't seem very fair to me... I thought they should be left alone and be assured to be let into heaven.
Now I believe that God doesn't listen to the language of the mouth but to the language of the heart.... and I can't imagine His name sounds any different in any dialect when spoken from the heart...
