Ive been told by Christians that the only way to heven is to believe and accept Jesus. In addition, if one acceptys this regardless of sins committed, they will be saved. So, here is my question: Jeffery Dalmher accepted Christ while in prison, so he is saved, He was murdered by a fellow inmate and because he was saved by the Lord Jesus, he is now in heaven. OK, Now, lets look at Gandhi, a very Christ like and spiritual person that no doubt was one of the Earths best people who ever lived. He was shot and killed, but, due to his religios believes, he is now in Hell. Somethig. s wrong with this concept. I am unalbel to accept most of the bible due to this very preplexing question. Please help me understand this concept. Thank you. Don D Show Charlotte, NC |

Greetings Don! First of all, welcome to the forum! Secondly, please watch your language on this site! :-) Now, allow me to address your question. The reason you are struggling with this concept is that you start off with a wrong assumption. Neither Jeffery Dalmher nor Gandhi deserve Heaven. Scripture is quite clear that all are sinners (Rom. 3:23) and that all deserve death because of that sin (Rom. 6:23). Salvation is a free qift of God given to those who by nature are God's enemies (Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 5:6-9). You are looking at the two individuals as though one of them deserved Heaven and one of them did not, while the truth of the matter is that neither one of them deserved Heaven. I don't if Dalmher accepted Christ or not, but if he did Scripture is quite clear that he would be saved, as would anyone who would call upon the Lord (Rom. 10:13). But, Christ is the only way to Heaven - Acts 4:12 - "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
