The gate keeper to the path of heaven always speaks the truth and the one for hell always the lie.By asking a single question to the gate keeper that you might come across first you should decide if it was the gate to heaven or not.What is the question? ( You can only ask yes or no questions)
123268
Ask the gatekeeper anything both you and he definitely know the answer to.  For example, while raising your left hand you could ask, "Is my left hand raised?"  If he says "No," then turn around and head toward the other gate.

I know this is long, but it contains the answer you are looking for.\n\nWhat If The Lord Were To Come Right Now? Would You Know For Sure, Without A Doubt, That You Would Go Heaven? \n\nMay I tell you my story?\n\nMy story relates to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\n\nWho is this Jesus?\n\nWe can know how to have eternal life!\n1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. \n\nThere was a time in my life when I was confused, because of all the different churches out there. Which one do I believe, because they all teach different things?\n\nJust because I was raised by my parents to believe certain things does that make everyone else wrong? No.\nI got to thinking in life there are life and death statements.\nFor instance let's say your house catches on fire. Someone comes up in the middle of the night and raps on the window and shouts "get out of the house, the house is on fire." Well you know you wouldn't need an interpreter or call a few friends over and ask them what it means when someone says your house is on fire. No you wouldn't do that it is so clear what you should do. You understand you simply have to act on it and get out of the house. Well I got to thinking the Bible talks about there being an everlasting punishment. I believe this is Gods word. I thought God must have some life and death statements. Like get out of the house the house is on fire. Does God have some statements like believe this and you will live do this and you will die? He does. \n\nThen, what has been written? \n\nJohn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWell I know what that means. Unless I believe that Jesus is who he says he is I will die in my sins.\n\nIsn't this a life and death statement?\n\nThen who is this Jesus? \n\nLet's go exploring. \n\nMatthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. \n\nWhose son is he? "God's son"\nIn other words Jesus says you are right.\n\nWell you know I got to thinking what does it mean to believe he is the son of God? So I kept reading.\n\nIs he being the son of God all we must believe concerning His identity? \n\nJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\n\nAnd I kept reading.   \n\nJust being the son of God...Is God. Notice here: \nJohn 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. \n\nWell here Jesus is claiming to be the son of God and God at the same time. \n\nAll Jesus is saying is that he is the same as his parents. Jesus mother was human and father was God. That makes him 100% human and 100% God.\n\nIs that important that Jesus is a 100% God and man? Remember John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWhen Jesus came to earth, did he leave his Godhead in Heaven? \n\nColossians 2:9 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, \nNotice that Jesus is 100% man and 100% God.  \n\nHere God the Father calls his own son God.\n\nHebrews 1:1, 8 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, \n8 but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptr

I can't tell if you really want an answer or not.  \n\nIf you really are ready to hear the answer, here it is:\n\nLet's get back to basics.  There is no "her" as a god.  There is only one God, and He has come to us in three ways to have three functions.  God is the Creator, and Jesus is the Savior, and the Holy Spirit is the Comforter.  \n\nWhat is the point of this life on earth?  We are put here to make a choice.  Are we going to choose God or not?  God has a mass amount of love for each one of His creation- even if they are not in love with Him, even if they ignore His creation as a witness that He exists, even if they try to analyze their life away without just admitting they can't make it on thier own.  That is how Satan fell.  Pride.  It is a great barrier.  The meaning of life is to become Christlike.  \n\nGod is not controlled by time because He is not in the physical realm.  He knows what our choice will be.  Think about that- He knows that He is going to have His own Son die just so that a person's sins can be covered, and that person says "no, thanks".  He still goes through with it.  He still creates that person.  It is amazing to ponder.  \n\nOur own choice takes us away from God.  In this life, it means that we will live a life that always has an empty spot in it.  We choose not to turn to God even when we are alone and He is there, with His arms open just wanting to carry us through our trials.  In the life after death, choosing to say "no" to God means an eternity without God- out of His presence.  Nashing of teeth, etc.  Hell doesn't sound very hospitable.  \n\nHowever, God is still there.  No matter how many times we reject Him.  If this is you, you can always start now.  No matter what you have done, God has passion for you.  He is on your side.  I encourage you to call out to Him now.  "God- I've been totally denying your being.  I'm so sorry.  Please reveal yourself and your love to me.  I want to run to you.  Open my heart to see your amazing creation.  Help me to meet people who can guide me to you.  Open my heart and eyes to the price that Jesus paid so that you throw my confessed sins away as far as the east is from the west.  Thank you."  Get a Bible, or check one out from a library.  It doesn't have to be the King James Version (although that is a fine version).  Find a biblical church in your area where you feel like you can ask the pastor all of your questions.  Church is not only for the already saved Christian.  \n\nI've already been praying for you.

The Bible says judge not lest ye be judged. And God makes the ultimate decisions regarding us going to Heaven or Hell. And they are both very real places. God says we work out our own salvation with fear and with trembling... but if you aren't living according the WHOLE gospel then the Bible does say one is on the path to hell. One human shouldn't say to other they are going to hell. That descision is God's and ours.

Would the other angel tell me this was the way to heaven - if yes, go through the other door, if no, this is the right one.\n\nThis would work because:\n\nIf you are asking the angel who tells the truth and he says yes, it means that his brother (who would lie) would tell you to through this door. Therefore you know it leads to hell. If he says no, then it means his brother would instruct you through the other door and this door must be the correct one.\n\nIf you are asking the angel who lies and he says yes, it means that in actuality his brother would not and therefore this must lead to hell. If he says no, it means his brother would indeed lead you this way and it is the correct gate to heaven.\n\nIsn't that a mouthful!

sometimes I answer questions in hopes really seeking people will find an answer. the person doing the baiting sometimes just opens the door for someone else to get an answer,but might not be as bold to ask. I agree with most of your statement tho.. and you do have to know when to apply this verse as well..\nMatthew 7:6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.\n\nusually the best way to know is to ask for God's guidance.

In the film "The Labyrinth," the heroine comes across two talking doors.  She must choose which door to enter.  The real brain-tickler is the preface that one of the talking doors always tells the truth and the other always lies.\n\nThe heroine poses the question to door A, "If I asked door B, 'Which door leads to my destination?' what would he say?"\n\nIf door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind me," then she knows the real path is behind door B because no matter who is lying and who is truthful, the lier's response will negate the truthful one's.\n\nIf door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind himself," then it can be deduced that the path is behind door A, again following this logic of reversal.\n\nSo, whatever response either door gives will always be incorrect and the heroine should choose the other door.

Im not sure what I would say. I have always been under the impression that there isnt anything that I could say for God to allow me into heaven. I was taught that my actions in life would be what would determine if I would go to heaven so I do not think that God is going to give me a chance to argue my reasoning against hes at the entrance of the Pearly Gates

I would ask, "What would the other angel say about your pathway? to each of them. One would say, "He would say that my pathway leads to Hell," (which is the truth, otherwise if he were lying, then the other angel would be the truth teller, and lier would not say that that would be what the other would say, becuase that would be the telling the truth) and then the other would say, "He would say me pathway leads to heaven." (which is a lie, becuase if he were the truth teller, the other angel would be the lyer, and the lyer would not say that other's led to heaven, otherwise, he would be telling the truth)So, the angel that said, "He would say that my pathway lead to Hell," Is the path that leads to heaven.

one lied, duh. the death door was probably behind the lier. he must have asked an easy question like "what's 2+2" one lied!

The  Bible is God's Holy Word.  He inspired men to write down what he wanted us to know about him.  Nothing has been added or slipped in as you put it.   There are no lies in the Bible.  Just because you cannot understand it, you think that it is full of lies.  I suggest that you talk to a pastor to answer your questions.   I believe that the bible is true all the way through.  I think that you need to examine your heart and your relationship with God.  If you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, then you don't need to question the bible.\n\nGod will reveal himself to you through his word, if you just open your heart and allow him to do that.  I will be praying for you.

There are elements of truth in a lot of the answers - there is probably one big answer which incorporates a number of these concepts. I'll add a couple of points to consider:\n\nMatthew 7:21-23\n 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.\n 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?\n 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.\n\nMatthew 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;\n\nLuke 13:23-28\n 23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,\n 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.\n 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:\n 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.\n 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.\n 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.\n\nFrom these 3 passages we see that those who preach & do miracles in His name, BUT ARE ALSO doers of iniquity, will be lost. Iniquity is sin. Sin is transgression against God's Law. God's Law was given to Moses on Mt Sinai (and he wrote it in the Torah/Books of Moses). Also the Word of God was with God & was God before creation (John 1:1); the Word was made Incarnate (John 1:14) - Yeshua the Messiah, who was perfect & sinless - i.e. he did not break any of the Laws of God in the Torah. He is the One who said: "Follow Me."\n\nIt puts this Proverb in perspective:\nHe that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Proverbs 28:9\n\nA couple of other things to consider. God has NEVER tolerated paganism mixed-in with His worship. That didn't bother the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine - he added some Christian elements into his sun god worship and TERMED IT "Christianity." Evidently it didn't bother the Popes or the Reformers - for all the mainline denominations (Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational) still maintain the pagan traditions of man with Sunday, Christmas, Easter, etc.\n\nGod has given us Scripture which details when & how He wants to be worshipped. The Sabbath & the Festivals of the Lord is a starting point. Unfortunately, you won't find them on the secular, pagan-based calendars. Or on your mainline denomination church calendars!\n\nRevelation 18:4 "Come out of her my people."

starcameo,\n\nI am very surprised and pleased that you have admitted your struggle in such a public forum. The fact that you are open minded in your search for truth is great.\n\nI am hesitant to offer advice because if you conduct a legitimate search for truth, you will find it. I searched for truth myself. Since I found the truth, I have confined my search for truth to the Bible and to God Himself. After all, it doesn’t make sense to search in all the other places any more because I have already found the truth.\n\nThis is the only advice that I will give you. Find a place where you can be alone and ask God out loud if He is real to reveal Himself to you. Then wait. It could be immediate – it could be a while, but God wants to know you much more than you want to know Him. He may send people across your path, or He may approach you in some supernatural way, but He will reach out to you if you ask Him to. If you are really desperate to find God, just go ahead and ask Jesus to save you.\n\nPlease contact me when God reveals Himself to you, and let me know how He did it. At that point, if you like, I can tell you the best ways to renew your mind.\n\nGod bless.

Do not follow blindly. Asking questions is important to the growth of the spirit.

It depends on how the question is worded and what its about. If I know the answer, and I see that the person asking the question hasn't received the answer, then I might answer it. Because for me this thing is an open form, plus I don't have anything against any "group" so if my answer is honest and factual, hey, its OK to post it. On the other hand, there are questions that are either loaded or matters of the heart based on a particular faith. Those I mostly leave alone, especially the loaded ones, figuring that they don't really want an honest answer or that they honestly need a heart answer from someone like-minded. But, that's just me. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

truth is the answer.Honesty is always the best policy. we are people and some times we have to go thru a learning process and by it we learn what it is we really want and along the way to that discovery we may not understand, so sometimes we may have to give a explanation but let it be real.
