Knowing some of the people out there that profess to believe and state they are going to heaven....I personally am looking forward to spending eternity somewhere ELSE.
I hope Jesus does come soon, and that he takes some of these people with him.

Would you mind sharing Hell with a few Christians?
Because I'd rather spend eternity in Hell with my sceptic friends than be in Heaven with these Christian end-timers.

I suspect the man they called Jesus would, too.

There is only one other place for you to spend an eternity, and that
is in Hell. You don't have to believe me at all. But, you can believe that Jesus IS going to come and take his followers with him. It is going to be
mass chaos on this earth when millions and millions of people suddenly
disappear. Maybe then you will realize that you are stuck here in this
creepy place with the AntiChrist. Just a thought. Never mind me !

Yes, Jesus has promised he will return and divide the sheep from the goats.
And who will be a sheep?

Matthew 25: 31-46 (New International Version)

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

In this passage there is no mention of beliefs, "goodness" or spirituality. You may be an atheist, a criminal, a prostitute, even a politician, and still be welcomed into heaven if you truly cared for those in need and provided for them.

So, Endtimer, I suggest you stop congratulating yourself on "winning", and concentrate on practising the humility and charity taught by Jesus.


Does Patel's work help to feed the hungry?
If so, this could be why some call him the Messiah.

What you say is so true. But there is one simple step before that.

John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)

16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
