    then would go to heaven - and on the flip side good people that do not believe go to hell

    it's said when he comes again he will be much different ....

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation 19:11-16&version=KJV

    11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

    12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

    13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

    15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

    16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

    Does it sound too good to be true?

    If a prophecy doesn't come true in the lifetime of the prophet who made it then he was full of crap.

    Only God can know what's in a person's heart. In Christianity though, we do believe that if someone repents no matter what crimes they committed, their hearts have opened towards heaven and God. Did Stalin repent? We don't know!

    God doesn't look at the sins someone committed, He only wants people to open their heart to Him before they die so they can enter His Realm and Experience.. Of course it's going to take a lot longer for some, but if they're open to it they will get there.

    Saint Paisios said that only 1 out of 10 will go to hell, and they will be like demons and curse God.

    All Saints pray for their persecutors. If she kept the hatred in her heart she wouldn't be in heaven. It does take a long time though to reach that level of forgiveness - if ever.

    so any Jew that doesn't love Hitler would never get into Heaven?

    one christian on here told me that god removes the bad memories and memories of loved ones that go to hell from people before they go to heaven, otherwise they woudl never be happy - kinda a brainwashing at the door kinda thing so people only think happy thoughts
