[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire point of Christianity is relationship with Jesus.  Everything- good works, salvation, heaven, flows through that.  It is not just some abstract concept of belief.[/quote]

iow -- get a relationship with Jesus, goddammit, if you ever expect to get to heaven.[/quote]

Well, if you don’t want to have a relationship with Jesus, you don’t have to.  “Heaven,” is not really the goal, relationship with Jesus is.  Heaven is only MORE relationship with Jesus, forever and ever.

So if you are not Christian, there is no reason for you to WANT Christian heaven.  We don’t know what the alternative is.  We assume “Hell” is a place of eternal suffering, but I don’t see a solid Biblical description of what that means.  In the Bible “death” and “Hell” are sort of used interchangeably.  Perhaps if you don’t believe, you die, and that is the end of the story.[/quote]

But the point is that, according to Christian doctrine, if you don't accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are not going to have as enjoyable of an afterlife as those who do. Communion with God is supposed to be better than being distant from God.

You can be a non-Christian and not care about Christian heaven, but if Christians are right, your afterlife will be worse than those who accepted Jesus, whether you think you care about Christian heaven or not. [/quote]
