If you want to go to Heaven,  one way is to smoke.  That will ensure that you die early.  Of course,  that won't get you to Heaven if there is no such place,  but you can at least say you tried.

Hummm.\n\nGreat question! I am betting you kept thousands of True Believers busy clicking onto your (sorry, stupid otherwise) question.\n\nBetter doing this clicking on YOUR question, than asking their silly, droll, meaningless religious questions .. cause while they are reading YOUR question, they do not have time to type THEIRS!\n\nMy hat is off to you! and, thanks for the points.

only way you can talk with Jesus is through prayer. And, anyway, He is everywhere! I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...

You will know when you're doing the right thing. Pray daily-asking God to help you and those you care about-- and Read the Bible. Attend church regularly! God will help you if you do your part. It's not just "what you do" that gets you to heaven, but are you totally committed to God. \n\nKeep on praying, and reading the Bible. Find a good church, and let God use you to help others. That's when you will be the happiest!

Why not? You never know what tomorrow will hold and why cheat yourself? Besides, God says not to. And, if you don't believe in God, maybe you should seek Him and ask Him about it first. I mean, how can you just quit life? Seems to me like there would be some real punishment for not finishing the game...

I would go to heaven, because I have accepted Christ as my lord and savior. You see, heaven is a free gift. It is not earned and can not be deserved.  "For it is by grace that you are saved through faith. it is the gift of God, not of man, that none may boast."Eph 2 8-9 It has to be a free gift because man is a sinner. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 Anything that is against God's will is considered sin. There are sins of thought, omission, and commission.  God gave a standard we must achieve if we wish to earn our way into heaven According to Matt 5:48, that standard  is " Be therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."  That definitely leaves me out. Our God is merciful, and does not want to punish us, but He is just and must punish sin. This apparent problem was solved by Jesus - who is 100% God and 100% man. What did He do? He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and purchased a place in heaven for us. Does everyone receive this gift? No - the key to heaven is faith. Not temporal faith - like praying when you have a sick loved one , not head knowledge - many people believe that Jesus lived, much as they believe that George Washington lived. However, they are not counting on him to do anything for them today. Scripture tells us "You believe there is one God? You do well. The demons believe as much - and tremble!" James 2:9 No - the key to heaven is saving faith - asking Jesus to save you from the penalty of your sins. If this is what you want to do, ask Him to be your lord. Ask him to be your savior. Repent of your sins, and be a new creation!

Okay this all depends on what you believe. Since I have never been dead I can't give you a play-by-play of exactly what happens, but here is what I have always been taught( by the way I am a christian). I have been taught that you are immediately in front of Jesus for judgement the second you die.If you are saved then you will go to heaven from there, if not you will go to hell. Other people may believe different things.

Romans 12:1- Consequently I entreat YOU by the compassions of God, brothers, to present YOUR bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with YOUR power of reason.\n To present your bodies clean or to worship God with clean heart, mind and body means you can't pollute your body with smoking. God wants you to be healthy and clean in body and worship and thats not possible with smoking.

Granted accoriding to the christain faith you need to accept Jesus to  get into Heaven... as far the other religions go .. they have their own way to getting into Heaven...\n\n\nat the end of the day................no one can prove that accepting Jesus or following abc path one will go to heaven..........\nmy belief if I will go to heaven on GOD's Mercy.. not a 3rd person/agent/broker  in between GOD and I..................if I need a 3rd person then it makes me wonder. does GOD think that it does not have time to address deal with his creation at the time of judgment???

long time ago in a far away land someone decided that people were living freely, doing just what they wanted, when they wanted and the government had to find a way to put\nthese people in place, so they thought of a story....lets make two places people can go when they die - the place for the good ones (who follow all the rules al the time) and the place for the bad ones (who don't follow the rules), then we threaten them with the bad place and they'll start following the rules, cause they wouldn't want to go there...you see, heaven and hell does not really exist. Come on our loving God put his own children in burning flame for eternity? Does that sound like the God you want to serve? Sounds a bit freeky to me. Truth is God loves everybody, every single one of us and there is only one destination for all of us, which is heaven, but if we were to know that - we'll stop following the "rules". Do you honestly think any one of us "deserve" to go to heaven? Nope...but ALL of us will be there one day and ALL of us will be happy! That's the real truth if you were wondering ; )\nTake care!

imagine the best time in your life youve ever had... heaven is waaay better than that. hell is described in the bible as a place of pain for eternity, darkness, loneliness so if your friends go to hell you wont see them

You don't deserve to go to heaven. Since we all sinned, we deserve to go to hell, but by God's AMAZING GRACE and LOVE for us, He sent His only Son to die for our sins and offered us everlasting life because He loved us so much He wanted us to spend eternity with Him.

the Bible says that doing good isn't the criterion for getting to heaven. Perhaps anyone who desires and strives for absolute purity could make it. But the biblical criterion is recognising that, perhaps despite the fact that we may think we've lived good lives, we're still sinners in need of a saviour, and so we should accept that Jesus Christ allowed himself to be killed on a cross so he could take the punishment for our sins, and we should turn away from everything we know to be wrongdoing. I personally am thankful that getting to heaven doesn't depend on how good we've been. If the criterion for getting to heaven was being good, then people who made a sincere commitment to Christ not long before they died after having lived immoral lives would find themselves going to hell despite their latter commitment to follow him and turn away from their sins, because the number of years they had spent sinning would far exceed the amount of time they later spent doing good. Or if they'd done one thing that was very bad but then spent years regretting it, it might still outweigh all the good they'd done and be enough to get them sent to hell, particularly since no one can be entirely good and everyone does things that aren't good throughout their lives. But the love of Jesus extends to people who've spent years doing evil things, if they'll only sincerely accept him and turn away from them. \n\nHowever, the Bible does say that there will be a time when it will be too late. In several places it says that on Judgment Day people will be judged according to their actions, and those who have done good deeds will go to heaven, while people who have rejected Christ and done evil will go to hell. It also says that people who have relied on their own efforts to get to heaven and yet have rejected Christ will not get there. And it warns people who think they can rely on their own goodness to get to heaven while not admitting how sinful they really are that in fact they are not pleasing God.

Yes, when you die, you will either enter into heaven or enter into hell.\n\nHow to make sure that you go to heaven.  Go to crosswalk.com and click on either steps to assurance or another subject on salvation.  It will guide you through the verses and steps to take to come to the understanding that you really do need this free gift that is offered.  Once you understand that you need this, you should feel the need to pray the sinners prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and submit your life to him.\n\nAfter this is done, you will know that you have been saved, and you will want to learn more about what you have just done, read and reread the bible, get into a fundamental church that teaches right out of the bible, and begin obeying the word of GOD by actually doing the things that you learn are right and just.\n\nYou are now on your walk with GOD and you will be on this walk until your dying breath, you will never stop learning new things about your life with GOD.

It's a proven fact that smoking is bad for your health.  If it's bad for your body, then it's one of satans ploys to keep you from doing whats best. We're supposed to take good care of our bodies.\n Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." We know this verse is true and we ought to present our bodies a living sacrifice to a most holy God. With this in mind, let me ask you, did your first use of tobacco come at the suggestion of God? Were you in church services when the pastor convinced you, from the Word of God, that you ought to use tobacco? Or did someone other than a faithful servant of God introduce you to tobacco?\nDo you use tobacco in the name (by the authority) of the Lord Jesus? Does the Spirit of God lead you in the use of tobacco? Romans 8:5, "So they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit."\nI Corinthians 10:31, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God:". When you use tobacco, can you give God the glory for using it? Or do you wish you had never started using tobacco? Can you thank God that you use tobacco?\n\nWould Christ have used tobacco? That's very doubtful, isn't it? If you use tobacco, are you being like Christ?\n\n I Corinthians 6:19, "What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" When we are saved, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we shouldn't defile the dwelling place of the Holy Ghost with ungodly tobacco usage.
