People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

While I don't proclaim to subscribe to the light doctrine I do believe that there are some individuals that due to certain circumstances are sure to make heaven no matter their doctrincal beliefs.

I have no biblical proof of this doctrine and so offer no defense of it. I do offer up some of my canidates for this doctrinre;

PEOPLE GOING TO HEAVEN REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL DOCTRINE:

1. Person who invented air conditioning.
2. Person who discovered chocolate
3. Person who invented ice cream
4. Person who invented "frying" as a form of cooking foods. In particular chicken.
5. Person who invented the hot water heater
6. Thomas Edison and others who either invented or worked to perfect electricity.

I am sure there are more in this special catagory but at this time of night these are the ones that come to mind.:thumbsup

Who are your candiates?

You may be on to something there...

I personally heard an Assistant General Superintendent say that "God would make an exception" for Paul Harvey, Louis L'Amour and Rush Limbaugh.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

I sincerely hope I'm saved, but with my luck, even if I am saved, Heaven will loose my RSVP for 10,000 years while I roast in Purgatory on the edge of the lake of fire. Once they find my UPCI baptismal certificate they'll allow me in - but they’ll be all out of white robes. So I’ll be issued a fuchsia bathrobe that once belonged to Charles Spurgeon (a favorite preacher of mine, but a smoker *cough cough*). Then when I finally get to the Marriage Supper they’ll be all out of Lamb and Ham so I’ll get stuck eating cold corn and what’s left of the green beans and hummus - and to top off my first day in Heaven … in the New Jerusalem I'll get the room at the end of a 144,000 cubit hallway next to the noisy ice-machine. My room mate will be a Cherubim with a speech impediment who won’t stop saying, “Howey howey howey ith duh Wud Gwud Awewighty.”, for what seems like an eternity. Then they'll relocate me out to a fixer-upper mansion on the South side of the Crystal Sea. As it turns out, crackjak will be right and Hitler will be moved in right next door - and our Heavenly property values will drop. To make matters worse my immediate neighbors to the East will be a bunch of rowdy Christian Reincarnationists who are just renting.

Oh well... I'm sure it could be worse.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

ROFL!!!! That was hilarious!!! And...it might all be true too! ;)

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

That was pretty funny, Aquila. :D

Especially the line about the reincarnationists. :ursofunny

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

There's the flip side, too. What's going to happen to the guy that invented the robocall?

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

He gets Aquila's treatment.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

LOL :thumbsup

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Aquila, that was sooo funny. I do hope you will get a better neighbor. Hitler wasn't the friendliest person. Maybe you will luck up anybody else. I can't even think of a worst person than Hitler.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Robocall guy doesn't enter heaven at all. He gets to look into the windows only wishing he could come in.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Let's put him in a room with an awesome dinner on the table, and every time he sits down and he's about to take a bite, the phone rings! :ursofunny Of course, he is magically forced to put the fork down and answer it and listen to, well, you know.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Sorry Timmy, but that isn't punishment enough for Hitler. He gets a free pass straight to hell.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

That was for robocall guy. Hitler? We can think of better for him, but it probably shouldn't be posted here. :winkgrin

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

This was hilarious. And especially when I read it in the voice of the Donkey from Winnie the Pooh.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Sorry to be a dissenter... but I "deserve" hell as much as Hitler - there is no good thing in me save Christ.

Saul (Paul) too was evil and feared like Hitler.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

I personally vote for the person that invented chocolate, the one that discovered sugar, and the one who made the first batch of chocolate chip cookies!

Can I vote for myself? :)

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Nobody's talking about you. It's the chocolate inventor et al. :lol

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

I vote for the creator of Coca-Cola.

The AFF admin team....


























after all, there has to be some kind of reward for us putting up with what we put up with on AFF--and not even get paid for it!













:D

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

The inventor of Splenda...that guy that invented detachable razor cartridges..the genius that said, "Mach 3 isn't good enough, let's add another blade..."the gal who puts up with me and hasn't ran for the hills just yet...

Bob "Mr Baseball" Uecker

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Amen, thank God for His incomparable love and grace, that gives us security and confidence for the age to come. For truly if we have hope in this life only we are of all men most miserable.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Whoever invented deordorant and mouthwash ought to get a free-pass for making us smell good.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

That dude over there holdin' the whatchamacallit.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Not that I am biased or anything, but...

Central AC System installers should get a free pas. I mean we work in the winter to give you people heat. We swelter in the heat (often in attics) in summer to keep you people cool. And we rarely ever get to enjoy the fruits of our labors. So...really...can we vote on this?

If Chimney Sweeps get a pass, then their distant and more technically inclined AC cousins should get a pass too.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

I think us IT guys should get a pass too for all the "clean up" work we have to do for our users.

"Don't click on the link.......................!"

But it was too late.

She done already got infected!

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Sorry man. this is a narrow pass and there is no more room on this perch.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Sorry man. It is a narrow pass and there is no more room on this perch.

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

This is exactly what I told a 'light doctrine' doctrine believer if I am going to give a pass to someone it is the guy who invented air conditioning.:thumbsup

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Only room for one of you guys? Hmmm..... fireplace or air conditioning. Hmmmmm. :hmmm

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Air conditioning, hands down, no contest.

Sorry, Stephen. :D

(my husband would vote just the opposite)

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Yeah, bad luck Stephen, the vote being taken in July and all. Maybe you could try again this winter! (But, that a/c guy handles central heating too, I'm afraid.)

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Whoever invented Metamucel...I'm just sayin'

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp--
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics, the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
You must've made a mistake.

"And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."

Then I looked for my friend Timmy,
but he was nowhere to be found.
They said, "He's a deist, so he stays put,
six feet under ground."



:lol

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Hey, that's a thought! What if what happens to you when you die is exactly what you think will happen? You guys will all go to a wonderful, sinless, trouble-free place, with 24x7 shockamoo or whatever. I'll cease to exist. Hindus will reincarnate. Etc. etc.

Just a thought. :winkgrin

Re: People Going To Heaven No Matter What
 

Timmy, Heaven would be much more fun if you were there! :)
