No way joel osteen cant buy his way in to heaven.
Are peachers, pastors and ministers going to heaven first, after all their super wealthy with the masses money?
They believe they are but they must play by their gods rules too or the gates will be closed to them.
Well, for sure not unless they die before me.
Beyond that, I really can't say.
If there was a heaven, I would hope it would be based on "What is Fair" or "What is Just". Since most of the religions have a skewed version what is "Fair" or "Just" when it comes to eternal reward, so I guess those terms cannot be used here.
Like all lemming based followings, the first one to heaven is usually determined by whom hits the bottom first as they pour over.
No they are not going to heaven. At Matthew 7 :21,-23 Jesus said "Not everyone saying to me,'Lord,Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens,but only the Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in in that day: Lord,Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name,and perform many powerful works in your name? And then I will declare to them: I never knew you ! Get away from me,you workers of lawlessness!
Your question is predicated on the belief that all good people go to heaven. That is not what the bible teaches. The earth is man's home, it was created as such by God. God's purpose will not be thwarted. That's why the bible says at Ps 37:10, 11 and Rev 21:3,4 that the earth will be populated by the meek forever. There is a role for life in heaven for those that will make up the kingdom of God and make up the heavenly government to rule over mankind. The lord's prayer "let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" is what is being asked for by the sincere, humble, and honest.
