Heaven Loophole

Post by Rye »

Ok, i watched dogma yesterday, and then i thought of an even bigger loophole.

Ok, to fulfil the prophetic criteria to be the messiah, Jesus is still alive, and needs to fulfil these when he comes back:

Oversee the rebuilding of Jerusalem, including the Third Temple, in the event that it has not yet been rebuilt (Michah 4:1 and Ezekiel 40-45)

Gather the Jewish people from all over the world and bring them home to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12; 27:12-13)

Influence every individual of every nation to abandon and be ashamed of their former beliefs (or non-beliefs) and acknowledge and serve only the One True God of Israel (Isaiah 11:9-10; 40:5 and Zephaniah 3:9)

Bring about global peace throughout the world (Isaiah 2:4; 11:5-9 and Michah 4:3-4).

Okay.

Now jesus said all those who believeth in him will get to heaven. BUT to fulfill prophetic criteria, he will influence EVERYONE on the earth to believe in him when he "returns" because he didn't do it first time.

So surely, belief in him now is not vital, we'll all get risen when he returns and have to believe in him and thereby all will be saved to fulfill messianic prophecy.

Do you not believe in Thor, the Viking Thunder God? If not, then do you consider your state of disbelief in Thor to be a religion? Are you an AThorist?-Darth Wong on Atheism as a religion

There are some universalist groups whose beliefs are more or less as you describe.

I believe fundies have a simple, if ruthless, expedient to this: In the final war, Satan will cause everyone who does not believe in God to side with him, and they will all be killed by the followers of God. Besides, this would not help you if died before Jesus' return; you'd still go to Hell.

I'd post it in the Spirituality and Faith section, but apparently, atheists posting there is a bannable offense.
