Question

Why do killers and rapist get to go to heaven?

Answer 1

We are all sinners and fall short of God, no sin is better or worse than another, but Christ died for our sins, including rape and murder, so that if we Believe in Him we shall have eternal salvation.

...or so the silly story goes.

Answer 2

Why not?

The only reason why killers and rapists wouldn't go to heaven that I can think of is that such behavior is wrong. However such a reason would assume a concept of "right and wrong." Such a concept can only exist if we suppose that there is metaphysical criteria to which actions can be measured and judged. But we have no evidence that such criteria exists, so why should such a supposition be accepted?

Of course, if we accept such a supposition in the absence of proof, then why would it be a stretch to accept the supposition of a just God that may work in manners that, to a limited human mind, seem odd?

Answer 3

I don't believe killers and rapist go to heaven.  Former killers and rapist on the other hand having admitted their sin and asked for forgiveness, confessing that Jesus is Lord, and committing their life to serving Him and growing closer to Him, will go to heaven.  No one sin is greater or more punishable than the other.  At the end is the judgement.  You will only go to one place or the other, heaven or h**l.  It doesn't matter what you've done in your past, if your future is a relationship with Jesus you'll be in heaven.  If you chose not to believe it also doesn't matter if your a killer or just a person trying to live their own life in disbelief, you'll find yourself in h**l as the Bible warns.

Answer 4

The scriptures say in the Bible and  holy Quran God took some out of the fire that represent h**l a state of condition and made examples for others with rightousness or accept process change purifing or civilze. He only took some. that number "some could be numerous.

Answer 8

Answer 9

huh..they don't!    [before you fellow Christians gang up on me,,think for a minute about what I've just said....]

Answer 10

It seems this may be important to you.Try to understand that these people are misled. All humans have latent homocidal tendencies, a result of sin, Only if they repent and turn from evil do they go to Heaven

Answer 11

because he said they were sorry, but an atheist who has lived a good life and donated to charity and helped people out is going to h**l.

Answer 12

Well, the biblical god is really no better than they are. Not only has he killed people, but in one situation, made a woman marry her rapist because she was a virgin. Just one of many reasons why the biblical god that christians adore is not my idea of love.
