john 3:16 For God so loved the world he gave his one and only begotten son that WHOSOEVER believes in him shall not perish but live everlasting life. Anyone who believes and lives in accordance to his word will make it to heaven.. sin needs to be absent in a believers life. That is one of Gods main goals for us.. once we live holy he can use us. A big mistake people believe is "oh. i can sin now and den ask for forgiveness and itll all be ok" WRONG!. (not saying u don't know it is) but it tells us in The Bible that even just 1 sin will keep us from getting there.. that's why repentace needs to be a daily and for some even hourly practice. its hard but possible to not sin anymore.. the bible tells us so. why would Jesus Christ tell us to live holy like him if it wasnt possible?
According to the Catholic Faith that's not true. There are many souls in Heaven including those of the saints. There are many souls of lay people as well who have done good deeds in their earthly life. In the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, he told the robber on the right "I shall see you in Paradise with me today." This clearly indicates that there are many souls in Heaven apart from Jesus and Marys'.
No, according to traditional Christian beliefs, souls in heaven cannot see us on Earth.
The belief that souls exist in heaven before birth is known as pre-existence.
I don't think many of them went to Heaven but after Jesus was crucified he did not go straight to Heaven. For three days he was in Hades and while there he saved all the souls of the Old Testament that deserved to be saved.
In Christian belief, Saint Peter is often depicted as the gatekeeper of heaven, welcoming souls into the afterlife.
It is called paradise.
Our souls are not predestined.
The body sleeps. The soul is in heaven or hell waiting for the resurrection. The souls in heaven will have eternal life. The souls in hell have eternal death.
those few souls would go to purgatory
If there is a heaven and if people have souls, then a born again Christian's soul goes to heaven, just as the souls of other Christians do. If there is no heaven, then it makes no difference to be a born again Christian.
Mosquitoes are insects and do not have souls like humans do. Different religions have different beliefs, but most agree that only beings with souls can go to heaven.
The souls in Purgatory are honored when we pray for their speedy entrance into heaven, particularly on the Feast of All Souls Day (Nov. 2).
