what if god told you you couldnt get into heaven

I'd ask him why didn't bother sending a messanger to be honest :P

Like god needs to come tell me that I'm not getting into heaven personally, I mean wouldn't he have better things to do then say hey buddy your not getting in?

If he didn't it would sure explain a lot.

um I said at the pearly gates meaning you would already be dead

not just him stopping by your house or whatever

[Just out of curiousty, why so much hate for them? A reason I assume?

Of course there is a reason-- I don't get pleasure from hating things.

I hate the way Islam is trying to take over the world, the brainwashing of millions of children across the world, the way they all demand respect, the outstanding ignorance in the holy books, the fight to put creatonism in schools, etc.

..and please do not try and furiously type up some scriptures or such-- I will simply ignore them. Trying to debate is a waste of time. I'm simply answering your questions since you're the one who approached me.

You know I can't think of a single time I've ever used the bible to try and prove a point, over than to correct context or explain what it really says.

Other than that, if those are your reasons, go for it all you want. Though I don't consider Holy books to be full of ignorance, nor do I consider it God's fault people are fighting for creationism.

I'd probably say something along the lines of "Can I at least stay out of Hell?"

Either that or scream incoherent babble. I'm not sure what I'd say.

Yeah I understood that but what would be the point of him rocking up at the pearly gates to say it?

To me he could just send a messanger because if he didn't have better things to do the say hey your not getting into heaven then I'd have to wonder what god actually does to actually have nothing better to do then say that to me.

you rarely cease to surprise me that might be one of the best answers in this thread so far

[really? Nothing at all to do with religion keeping the large majority of humanity from progressing? to accepting that our station in the universe is actually much, much smaller than we'd like to think? that we shouldn't blindly accept whatever we're told? that irrational explanations do nothing to help us understand our surroundings? I would think that these are all good reasons, as well.HardQuor

I just typed the first things that popped into my head. If I were to write everything about religions that I hate then I'd be writing this post until next week.

God would never give you the oppurtunity to ask why.

Anyways, I' wouldnt do anything because you don't get to do anything when you go to hell besides suffer, according to how hell is defined.

I wouldn't be able to do anything since my body would be back on Earth, decomposing.

I'd go down to hell and kick Satan outta his seat and take over hell. Then I'd not only be a dictator of an infernal pit of torment but I'd be the sole stock holder of Sony,Microsoft, and Disney. I'd be rich and powerful then..

I wouldn't say anything...I'd get dropped out the bottom of the sky and fall into hell or something.

So, yeah, wouldn't be much to say.

Edit: Just realized I'd tell God what I originally posted. Thought this was a "What would you DO?" topic.

Id really like to see what Mindstorm would say to this out of curiosity

mindstorm

I'd pretty much be like lol wut and ask why he lied to me in scripture.

I feel bad just accusing God of that even in a hypothetical situation. :?

you'll be fine I've heard that its healthy to question you superiors otherwise you wont learn

There is some truth to that, Job did so afterall and was blameless and right in the eyes of God. (does not mean he was sinless however).

I've never been in the situation where I had to question the motives of God. Even when crap happens, like my grandfather passing away today, I trust that God is doing what is morally just and right. I have no reason to "question my superior" in this manner. (This does not mean I question many matters of faith, questioning helps in learning)

You and Theo are my Gamespot Heroes of the Faith. :)

Hypothetically, why would God have to send Jesus to die for our sins if we can just talk our way into heaven.

EDIT: If you are talking about the Christain God, we already sort of know how that day will play out.

When you stand before God you won't feel like you deserve to make it into heaven, but if you trusted in him than you will anyways. If you don't make it thier will be no argument, you were offered a free gift and you refused. You chose to ignore the God who created you, and you chose to ignore his laws. All this will be aparent when you stand before God.

God would never give you the oppurtunity to ask why.

Anyways, I' wouldnt do anything because you don't get to do anything when you go to hell besides suffer, according to how hell is defined.
