if someone had no religion and lived a life of good deeds, would he go to heaven?

Yes, if had a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Religion gets no one to heaven.  It's faith in Jesus Christ and that personal relationship that gets people to heaven - that and that alone.  Not our works. Not our deeds. Not our good intents and actions.  No, just our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, is our way to heaven. Not our loyalty, not our parents, not our words.  No, just our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, is our way to heaven.  I just wrote that I was typing - it must have been just for you!

According to man's good or evil deeds, words, thoughts or actions while on earth, even so shall he inherit heaven, light or darkness, joy or unhappiness.\n\nTo do good with all of one's wisdom and strength is the highest religion.\n\nFrom the doctrines of Thomas Paine

you would have to die, but then you would have to come back to life so you could tell someone what happend. by that you could only prove to yourself if he exsists or not. Or if you could find the alein that planted life on this planet. or if you could find the missing link. but people really are too stubborn sometimes even when they are faced with the truth. I think god himself could tell a believer that he did not create man and he would still believe that he did. I hope this helps.

Well, since Jesus was known to hang out more with the non-religious folk of his time, he would probably feel right at home.  He would probably have more to say to the "self-righteous..." Something like, " I was hungry and you didn't feed me, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, a was a stranger and you didn't welcome me, I was sick and you didn't care for me, I was in prison and you didn't visit me..." You were too busy deciding who's going to heaven or hell...

It depends on how a person believes...and since marriage falls into the religion cagatory, then one would have to abide by the rules set forth by ones religion.  \n\nHowever if a person never plan to marry then that person would have to consider a life of celebacy.\n\nSo in my opinion......YES!\n\n:)\nPeace

The only way to heaven is through repenting and asking Jesus to forgive you for your transgressions.  Believe on the Lord Jesus and you WILL be saved.  Salvation has nothing to do with your good deeds.  Your good deeds neither obtain or retain eternal life.  Your good deeds will determine the crowns (eternal gifts)you receive in heaven.

As with every hypothetical situation I will answer with what I would hope my response would be (whether I would or not can't be answered without actually experiencing the situation). Having said that, my answer would unequivocally be yes - I will eventually have eternity to spend in Heaven with God and all His glory, so I would welcome the opportunity to return to earth on a mission to save others. Christ was willing to do it - how could I be any less willing?

I don't believe in heaven, I'm an atheist.\n\nBut if there is a heaven I am definitely going.  I'm a great guy and do nice things, I let spiders out instead of crushing them and hold doors open for old people.  I'm nice, and I don't believe God requires a particular religion or belief to get in.  It's all about your actions, not what you profess to believe.\n\nBut I'll probably accept Jesus into my heart right before I die, just to be sure.

Yes. I have made my peace with God. I am 'saved'. I'm not a religious fanatic. I know I will be judged for my past sins. But i have led a good. I would hope to live in heaven, but i know i have had some pretty big sins.

NO! every religion has thoughts about afterlife or re-incarnation or somewhere they will go after they die. vikings had valhala, eskimo's sent thier dead out on burning kayaks. even ancient egyptians used to put thier most prescious belongings in tombs to be enjoyed in the afterlife. just because ideas differ it does not mean that the philosophy is restricted to christians.

Good question, but everyone will not go to Heaven.\nDo you think for one minute a loving, almighty God would allow His only Son to go thru such misery if there were not a choice?\nDon't you think He would have chosen another way if there had been another way to redeem mankind?\nYahshua HAD to be the lamb that was slain.  Blood had to be shed.\nWithout the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

as a catholic seriously confused with his religion and life...i would not worship God if there was no heaven. the reason i wouldnt worship Him is because if there is no heaven he doesnt exist. everything that i was FORCED FED as a child would end up being the biggest pile of $hit ever read and believed.

There is no Heaven.  If there were a Heaven, I'd have to know more about it to decide whether I'd want to be there.  Yes, if it existed, it might suck.  What would be the purpose of a Heaven anyway, except as a bribe by the churches?  Surely, no god is in need of little humans worshipping him.

He sacrificed his only begotten son for all people of the Earth so the may be clensed of their sins and not be cast out into a lake of fire, but to live eternally in heaven. So, I would say A LOT!

...And would heaven be redundant without hell?  Same meat, different gravy.  But while it's obvious that there are different levels of good, bad, the ugly and unadulterated evil (often found in the vestry), there is apparently only one heaven and one hell - nothing inbetween.  So what happens to the atheist who goes through life devoting every spare minute to charity, but insults god by not accepting his existence?  Or the loving christian, but who has been nicking money from the church fund all his life?  Christians make one particular claim which gets right up my true grit.  'Our god is good and is responsible for everything wonderful in the world - if anything bad happens it's nothing to do with our god.'  So I guess, yeah - if it wasn't for evil, their god wouldn't have much to be smug about, would he?

What else is there left to belief in if there is no religion?
