Hello,
Where do followers of mainstream Christianity go when they die? Heaven or hell? The Bible seems to say both.
Heaven. Because:
Ephesians 2:8, ''For by grace are you saved through faith...''
Matthew 5:19. ''Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven...''
Hell. Because:
Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ ''And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’'
Romans 2:13, ''for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.''
2 Peter 3:16-17, ''as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness''.
So, where do they end up? Heaven or hell?
Thanks
