In the Bible it says that if you repent/get saved/ accept jesus as your saviour (however you want to put it) you will be allowed into heaven

and say Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gayce on his death bed was saved/repented/ accepted Jesus as his saviour is he in heaven?

and on the flip side would his victims if not given the chance to be saved/repent/accepted jesus as their saviour are they in hell?



God doesn't exist.


I was talking to God the other day and He told me you don't exist.

Where there seems to be a problem (at least for me) is the fact that a person who has been a practicing Muslim her entire life and never hurt anyone and certainly never murdered anyone would for whatever reason be rejected by god and sent directly to hell while this sociopathic monster who took her life would then be entitled to spend the rest of his days in heaven living in bliss simply because he embraced the Christian doctrine in some respect before death.

Why would your religion need to put such conditions on its members? If this young woman was a devout, practicing Muslim for her entire life up until the point it was brutally snuffed out, what would make her abhorrent in the so called loving eyes of your chosen god? You remember him right? The one that went around espousing things of this nature:

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."


Two things about this post.

1) It is the Muslim woman who rejected the Christian God - not the other way around as you have stated.

2) You quoted the Christian God - not the muslim God.

Not to be a stickler about details, but we might as well get them right. Would you like to rethink your post?


Absolutely not. This post stands. The Muslim woman rejected no one. She was happy and content to be a Muslim for her entire life and now she will be going to hell because she was murdered but according to your theory, she will be bound for hell because she chose not to accept Jesus as her personal savior.

I am SPEAKING TO THE CHRISTIANS and asking why they can have such blatant disregard for the exact words taken from their OWN scripture. Now answer if you will sir. I await with baited breath your response.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"
— Epicurus (ca. 341-270 BCE) Greek philosopher


I have an answer... I'm sure you won't like that either.

Well let me recap what I've learned from this thread... as I did it to learn a thing or two.

Right wing conservatives suck.

People who want to shove their religion down your throat as "the right thing to do" suck.

Those who explain things in their terms, even if you don't belive in it, but do it in such a way that shows the love that Jesus actually was talking about in his docterin... are pretty awesome people who I can befriend and learn alot more from than the ones who think "right is right, and I'm right and you are wrong"

I'm still Pagan, and that won't change.

Anyone who can't accept another's idea as at least a possibility are caught up in their own delusions and insecurities and have no business speaking for an entire religion. Christian/Pagan/Muslum/Jewish/Church of Bob/whatever.

so that's where I'm at with it... Hope you all can take something from this discussion and apply it to your own lives....flowerforyou


Leave it to the Pagans to actually have a real grasp on some of this. rofl

Okay then. Explain WHY the Muslim (this is a hypothetical) victim in this case would end up being condemned to hell and the murderer would go to heaven based solely on the fact that he "found jesus" in prison or some time before passing. And before you go too far in that direction, we all know how serious the devoutly religious can take the "thou shalt not kill" commandment....Should I start bringing up some talking points in history?


Because the Muslim rejected Jesus, and the Murderer accepted him.


Well thats a load of crap then, plain and simple. Its exclusionary, divisive, manipulative and nothing I would want to be involved with. But the important thing to keep in mind is that just because you may feel I am bound for hell as a "non-believer" postmortem, doesn't make it automatically so. I on the other hand, am not the type of person that would presume to project my ugly thoughts and feelings of condemnation and eternal purgatory upon you.


You asked to explain "Why". Thus - the response. I don't "feel" one way or the other about you. Whereever you may "end-up" has nothing to do with what you might think "I feel", and everything to do with what YOU think. Why are you projecting my response onto yourself. Don't you think I'm capable of responding to your questions without you thinking I've somehow passed judgement on you, or that you are the center of my response?

Do you think you are bound for hell?

What is purgatory?


Well if the Muslim girl chose not to accept the same god that you seem to feel is real on some level then according to you she is bound for hell. If I choose not to accept god in the same manner that you deem necessary for me to find salvation then I can only assume that I am going to hell for this implied "shortcoming". If Joe Smith down the road does not choose to accept Jesus as his savior nor god into his life, then according to you, he is bound for hell also.


"...according to you she is bound for hell..."

I will mail you my paychecks for the rest of my life if you can find a quote from me stating this anywhere on this entire site. Please don't put words in my mouth. I said "she would not be spending eternity with the Christian God in his heaven." NOT that she is bound for hell. The only one's speaking about hell on this thread are the non-christians.


But the killer in this situation is somehow not going to hell because he chose to accept the same god that you choose to put your own faith in and proclaim as being real and factual. In fact, he may find his way into heaven.


If the "killer" comes to the realization that he is a sinner (or was...) and realizes that Jesus died for his sins to reconcile him to God and asks God for forgiveness - the bible says he will be in Heaven with Jesus. I don't say anything about where he'll be - I didn't write the book.


I don't ask that you think anything about me one way or another on a personal level as that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. I am however asking you to stand behind your words, quit dancing around them and give a direct answer.

Thank you.


Good - then don't start saying "You think", or "Christians think", and I won't pretend to claim I know how you think. I might ask you what you think, but I don't read minds, so I don't pretend to know how you think.

The thing is - I answer all of your questions directly. Always have, always will.

I never said any one person was anything doll, if you identify yourself in one of those catagories, that's on you... personally I don't read most of your posts as they are out of hate for non-believers and not out of a place of love of YOUR religion...

So if you identify then it's your insecurity of YOUR religion not my issue.

The Muslim woman will not be in heaven with God and Jesus. That is what Abra's OP stated, and that is always how I've responded. Who said she was going to hell? Oh - You did.

Are you asking me if she is going to hell?

If so - here's my answer:

I don't know WHERE she's going. But if she doesn't want to be in heaven with Jesus, she won't be.

Eljay I could not care less what you think about me on any personal level. The same would apply as it relates to my feelings towards you. I am simply asking that you show some backbone.

Purgatory definition-The word "purgatory" has come to refer to a wide range of historical and modern conceptions of postmortem suffering short of everlasting damnation, and is used, in a non-specific sense, to mean any place or condition of suffering or torment, especially one that is temporary.

If God wants to forgive him to what he did to others, it only makes me feel a little beeter about his forgiving me for everything I've done. And if you think that God should be aborting all those that have been doing injustices to other people - what is the maximum number allowed? And what are you doing here? Unless you'd like to try and convince me you are blameless in your life for doing an injustice to anyone.

If you'd like to take the "logical" approach to this, rather than the emotional.


Well, if we're going with the "Mr. Spock" logical game face, you'd find me in person to be very like that, sticking more to the logical than the emotional. Having doctors tell you you're probably going to die unless you choose between several not-so-hot alternatives to save your life sort of does that to a survivor.

And I'm not running for the office of 'God', I can't be Sainted because I'm not Catholic, and no, I haven't done an injustice to anyone that I recall in my lifetime. When my divorce attorney told me my Catholic ex (who was divorcing _me_ BTW, for 'incompatibility after 10 yrs of marriage) was asking for things she wasn't legally entitled to, I told him, to my own detriment, to give her everything she was asking for.

If only the pure in heart can ask questions, it makes me wonder what there is to hide. I don't think my not being Catholic or Christian is an injustice to anyone.

Now its "I didn't write this book." Hey, I wouldn't stand behind it either. Dont blame you there.


I'm not afraid to admit anythig. I don't infuse my interpretation of the text with my perceptions and infer that it is representative of "fact". I will say that I find the text to be believable. So it is for that reason I can state that if he has repented and put his faith in Jesus, he will spend eternity in heaven with Him.


Eljay I could not care less what you think about me on any personal level. The same would apply as it relates to my feelings towards you. I am simply asking that you show some backbone.

I'm being very careful to respond to your questions with what the text says, Krimsa - and I do so out of respect for you (whether you believe it or not) because I do not intend to sway your opinion of what you ask one way or the other by infusing my perception on textual interpretation.
The extensive exegesis on "where does one end up if blaspheming the holy spirit" would fill a book - so cutting and pasting all of that onto the site would serve no purpose. No matter what anyone posts on "where they think" someone will end up, the only person who can be spoken for is ourselves - for we ultimately stand in judgement of ourselves only. To me - this is what is meant by "giving account for your life".

Now if that is a response without a backbone, then what are you asking me to do - embellish my answers and infuse them with opinion? Are you asking me where they are going - or where I "think" they should be going? I responded to the former, because that is what you asked. If what you meant was the latter - than have a backbone, and say what you mean. :wink:

Purgatory is a term out of Catholicism - and is not referenced anywhere in scripture. It is religious dogma - and in my opinion, does not exist. The same would be said for "Limbo".

Yes, I knew this about you (the logical end) and that you have had health issues in the past. I did not know about your relationship history - I empathise with you, having gone through a similarity.

So - now the only question is whether the issue is quantitative or quality. Is it okay to lie every now and then - but murder is just too much?
Can you "steal every now and then", as long as you balance it out with philanthropic endeavors.
If one sees an injustice being done by some else - and does nothing about it, have they "done nothing wrong" because they chose to do nothing?

Not to be "accusatory" about any injustices you may or may not have done - but it deals directly with the heart of the question being asked by viewing what people do and passing judgement on whether their actions are considered "unforgivable", and if so - what is the standard being established?

That was sort of the point I was making - rather than you having to examine your actions in light of what others do.

the whole line of this question is flawed from the start because the idea of death bed confessions are more out of self preservation rather than truth, the point is they are rarley sincere.

but to answer the question yes if in fact it was sincere and honest asking of forgiveness of this sins then yes he will make it in to heaven.


oh and chosing to disbelieve is rejection because you reject the idea of a Jesus or heaven or hell. so its rebelling against the thought going on your own personal ideas and thought.

you dont have to believe in Jesus but dont be mad when you dont make it to heanen, i also never understood the idea of how everyone should be allowed there thoughts and ideas and all have a right to their opinion except us chritians then we are labels as brain washed or intolorant, just my thought!

the whole line of this question is flawed from the start because the idea of death bed confessions are more out of self preservation rather than truth, the point is they are rarley sincere.

but to answer the question yes if in fact it was sincere and honest asking of forgiveness of this sins then yes he will make it in to heaven.


oh and chosing to disbelieve is rejection because you reject the idea of a Jesus or heaven or hell. so its rebelling against the thought going on your own personal ideas and thought.

you dont have to believe in Jesus but dont be mad when you dont make it to heanen, i also never understood the idea of how everyone should be allowed there thoughts and ideas and all have a right to their opinion except us chritians then we are labels as brain washed or intolorant, just my thought!


First off take yourself out of your own head and re-read what you wrote...

"chosing to disbelieve is rejection" I have a belief system... it's just not yours.

In that case I call everyone who is not Pagan a rebel and the Goddess won't be kind to you on your day of reconing...

"hahaha my Godess loves me and not you, she will treat me good and you bad so when I die I will be special and you won't." Isn't that what kids say to their brothers and sisters about being mom's favorite?

I'm sorry but my Goddess will treat you like you are her child, she will look at your actions in life and treat you accordingly.

You don't have to believe in Her, She believes in you no matter what. If you are Christian or Buddhist, or jewish...She doesn't care, your character and what you did for your fellow man means more to her than how much you love Her.

Do I judge Christians... only the ones who spew hate instead of love (but those aren't real Christians anyway so it's kind of a moot point)...Yes sir I do. See my Goddess taught me to accept other beliefs, to treat others with the same respect they treat me with.

One of the first rules of paganism is to NOT prostilitize... We don't want a bunch of sheep. We don't want the blind. We don't want you unless you truely believe, and if you truely believe then and only then can you do any good to the religion.
