Most people who serve God will live forever on the earth. There are certain ones chosen by God that will live in heaven with him. Psalms 37:29; Isaiah 65: 21, 22; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:4: Revelation 7:3, 4: Revelation 14: 1-4; Luke 12:32;
Had Adam and Eve not sinned, they would have continued to live on the earth. This was God's original purpose for the earth, and it never changed.
Genesis 2:15-17
In the very near future, God will take steps to rid the earth of all of the problems that plague mankind today and conditions will be restored to the way it was when Adam and Eve were put into the Garden of Eden. All of the problems we experience today will be eliminated.
Revelation 21: 3-4
The Bible says that everybody has the chance to go to heaven. There is no set number.
People have the choice to accept or reject God's offer of eternal life.
Rom 3:22 God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all:
Rom 3:23 everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence.
Rom 3:24 But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.
However, in Modern Christianity, the majority of non-Christians will go to Hell for eternity. This was because St. Augustine introduced this belief in the 4th Century, and Christians have been increasingly believing it since then.
Here is a quote from the Early Church Father, Clement of Alexandria who lived 150-220AD. In a nutshell, he believed that Jesus Christ saves ALL - both good and wicked.
"For all things are ordered both universally and in particular by the Lord of the universe, with a view to the salvation of the universe. But needful corrections, by the goodness of the great, overseeing judge, through the attendant angels, through various prior judgments, through the final judgment, compel even those who have become more callous to repent.... So He saves all; but some He converts by penalties, others who follow Him of their own will, and in accordance with the worthiness of His honor, that every knee may be bent to Him of celestial, terrestrial and infernal things (Phil. 2:10), that is angels, men, and souls who before his [Christ's] advent migrated from this mortal life.... For there are partial corrections (paideiai) which are called chastisements (kolasis), which many of us who have been in transgression incur by falling away from the Lord's people. But as children are chastised by their teacher, or their father, so are we by Providence... for good to those who are chastised collectively and individually."
Muslim's belief:People who go to Heaven are those who:No, as there is no such place
The only major difference is that Protestants believe if go to heaven you go straight to heaven. Catholics believe for most people you have to go to purgatory before you go to heaven.
Adam and Eve were the first people to go to Heaven.
The people always go to Heaven or Hell.
True Christians (the true servants of God) will go to heaven on Judgment Day.
Most likely not because he killed tons of people mostly Jews.
No. There is only one true God, and that is the Father in heaven. Those who will go to heaven on Judgment Day will be with Him forever. However, not everyone will go to heaven. Although God wants all people to be saved, He is also fair and just. Therefore, wicked people cannot go to heaven. Only God’s true servants will go to heaven.
I am a Christian. In my belief Heaven is a beautiful place where there is peace and happiness and God is in Heaven. I doubt that the people who go to heaven will be unsatisfied.
people go to heaven by their soul. They travell miles away from space but it will be impossible to go there if you are alive.
No...
Of course, but not everyone will.
yes
Sure
