Branfan answered that question with

Now, if she'd come into any random religion thread here and posted only that, I might take issue with it. But, in this context, she's just answering the question according to her belief - essentially, that only those who accept JC as their savior (Christians) will go to Heaven.

I don't share that belief but hardly can condemn her for answering honestly. This thread got a little off track - probably starting with the OP lol. Chances are Branfan saw the thread title and answered immediately instead of reading the thread - so she didn't realize that her post might come off as a proselytizing non-sequitur at this point.
yeah i just read the title of the thread and ran with it. LOL i thought it was a question.

If, as some believe, paradise is a holding area for those awaiting judgement, then people of all faiths would be there. If paradise is the same as heaven, then only those saved for eternal life will be there.

Paradise was created on earth, a "bountiful earth"...thus will be perpetuated by all of mankind, without the prejudice of religion, race or gender.

Paradise = earth

Matthew 5:5 The meek shall inherit the earth...

Peace!

Christians from all races and countries who believe and obey the Lord will be found in heaven. Nonbelievers who reject God's plan of salvation will go to Hell. Jesus Christ told us that most of the world is headed for Hell. And that is because most of the world wants to get to heaven their way, and on their terms. Most people will be found in Hell because of the hardness of their hearts.

If your views on this are as sound as those regarding the nativity and the east gate prophecy, we can all breathe easy...

We can all breath easy, if we have a close relationship with Jesus Christ. However a proper understanding of the nativity, and the east gate prophecy should give non believers reasons for concern. Often false misconceptions can give one a false sense of security. Christ has already pointed this out to us.

I don't believe in the Christian/and branch god and think that I am a good person deep inside.

And I expect to go to hell. Just like I expect you to go to hell. And my family. And your family. And so on. Because my own beliefs state that all humans go to hell, whether you are good or bad.

GG?

The only person who was ever good, was God. And that is why God in human form was the only one who could die for the sins of the world. Those who embrace God's sacrifice will be saved from Hell. Yet Scripture teaches us, that most people will reject God's gift of Salvation, and will condem themselves. Clearly Scripture teaches us that outside of God, there is none righteous, no not even one.

Hmmmmmmm? That's not what Rev. Billy Graham told me.

WOW, he believes that we can go to heaven (if ever there were such a place) without even knowing Jesus's name!!!!

Billy also told Nixon you can't trust Jews. That did not make him right. And that is why Jesus tells us that we are not to look to any man for our faith, but the man Christ Jesus.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

This is not the first time Billy got it wrong.
