Can a person mentally unable to accept christ get into heaven?

Yes, but not all of them. I'm sure there are insane people who worship the Lord, but kill people in the name of God. Would they get into Heaven? I'm sure there are mentally challenged people who worship the Lord, and don't go killing people, so they shall be allowed in Heaven. But I'm sure there are those who don't follow, and I don't think they can get into Heaven. No one is allowed in Heaven unless they worship God.

The Bible states quite frequently that "ALL" who believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ will make it into heaven. So it is rather hard to give you a number. I just know that one day when I am in heaven I will be able to find out. Read John 3:16

Good works won't get you into heaven. Only having faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on the cross for you and rose again will. Jesus forgave all of our sins when He died on the cross.

If he's retarded, he's got the brain of a child, and isn't really accountable for his actions.\n\nThen again, I don't believe in heaven or hell.

one cant, at least THIS one cant.  When something terrible happens and you question gods "wisdom" a religious person will most often come back with god has a plan we just don't know what it is.  Well my point is if there is a god and this god is omnipotent then this god allows all of this terrible stuff to happen.  Now if this god has a plan that lets these things happen FOR WHATEVER REASON then it is not something I would want in my life.  If a person stands idly by and lets pain and suffering befall his fellow man when it is in his/her ability to stop the suffering then they are as much at fault as whatever is causing the suffering.  If a "god" dose the same thing, well its just a perverse sort of thing to put your faith in.

I am a Christian and I'm also a human.  There are some people I'm still struggling to love.  It takes a total surrender to God for that.  For example, there is a man who molested me as a child and it took YEARS to come to the place where I can say I've forgiven him for what he's done.  I fervently pray that he accepts Christ as his savior.  I believe he hasn't thus far because he's afraid he'll have to confess to what he did to me and others.  He was even convicted (plead guilty) and was sent to prison for 2 years, but he maintains his innocence and said his attorney told him to plead guilty because it was a he said/she said case he couldn't win.  I still see this man at a lot of family gatherings.  The balance I've come to is that I am kind to this man, but I'll NEVER let him even pick up my child.  Luckily, I've never had to say that out loud because he's got the good sense not to try.  Sorry to be so long-winded, but I wanted you to see that there are some Christians who are really TRYING to live out the example that God set for us to follow.  It truly is a narrow path and it's difficult to stay on sometimes.

Heaven isn't that easy to get into.\n\nAs a catholic I believe the bible when it says, "It is easier to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven".

More importantly, and I suspect this is what you're getting at, why would a god who wants worship set himself up to be totally illogical and irrational? I think that if there was a god controlling it all, we'd be somehow predispositioned to believing in him, rather than having to ignore all logic and reason just to get into heaven.

You know, honey, no one knows.  Only God knows, because only God knows your friend's heart.  It isn't works or words that get you into Heaven, it is whether you have accepted Jesus into your heart.  And, even if he went to church 7 days a week, there is no guarantee of that.  I'd love to give you the answer you want to hear, but I can't.\nSorry.

If they are born again. It is not hard to do, but someone who rejects God cannot do it. For the first step is to believe that God exists, second believe that one falls short of His glory (admit sin) third see that Jesus is the perfect Lamb of God who died to take away the sins of the word, who rose again to conquer death and rose to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.

No one can attain salvation. Salvation is a gift given freely to man by God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Placing your trust in an idol or in a prayer or in good deeds places your faith in the wrong area. God is so omnipotent, we cannot even fathom what he would look like, so by creating an idol of him, we are limiting who God is. If you read the entire Bible, nowhere will you find a physical description of what God looks like. There isn't even a physical description of Jesus.\n\nThere is only one way to salvation - 1) Admit God is perfect, 2) Admit you are not, 3) Accept that Christ is perfect and sacrificed his life for yours, and 4) Receive your gift of salvation through faith that Christ has paid for your mistakes.

Yes, if you truly repent and accept Jesus as your savior. You should also be willing to face the consequences.

People who continually sin, without a conscious..need to check their salvation. If they don't turn there life around they will go to Hell BUT if you ask for forgiveness and mean it, (and turn from your wicked ways)..he will save you..

I think so, because with the carnal mind it is hard to understand and accept the Mighty things of God and Jesus Christ.

No, it is not possible.\n\nThough many *call* themselves Christan and support abortion.\n\nA passage from Scripture backs this up:\n\n\n"You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and likewise the table of demons." (1 Corinthians 10:21).\n\n\n\n\n\n---

This would be something out of that person's control.  God will not bear onto a soul except for that which it can tolerate.  Since it isn't clear which sex this person is, maybe a homosexual act wouldn't be as harshly judged.  Afterall, being an intersexual seems like enough of a trial.\n\nAnd God only knows best
