Prayer and Heaven

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Col 4:2

Many people from many faiths pray. And some pray who have no faith at all. There is only one Lord and he is God. There is only one way to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.

Other faiths believe in reicarnation, nirvana, eternity on earth, living on only through those left behind, becoming gods themselves and other things. Those things are not the heaven that Jesus was talking about. Only Christians who are believers and followers of Jesus go to heaven to be with him. Everybody else wants to go somewhere else to be with somebody else anyway. That's their faith.

Why would anyone be offended at being told they are not going to heaven to be with Jesus when where they really hope to go at the end of life is back to earth as something else? The only people who should be upset about not going to heaven are those who want to go in the first place because they want to live forever with Christ. And those people have only to believe and they will be saved according to the Bible.

Everybody thinks they are right but some have to be wrong. They have the right to be wrong but they need our prayers.
