Is God the Same for Everyone?
Pardon me for weighing in on this issue in some length in this post.

It seems that people everywhere are talking about how to get to the same God and the same heaven in the afterlife. This creates some problems.

1) If a person wants what God, the Creator is offering for life after death, he must accept what is said in His Book about it. The descriptions are given by one who not only knows the future, but also went there and came back to talk about it. He also stated that He was going to prepare a place for His believers. Then He sets the entrance requirements.

2) People talk about there must be other ways to get to God, the Creator's heaven. Even Oprah, who claims Christian upbringing makes statements like that.

3) I propose that all the various ways that people choose to believe are the different ways to get to the same place need to accept that they are being offered a life after death that is different, not the same. For example, the description of Islamic life after death leads to a different picture presented by their god, Allah, and involves physical pleasures.

4) For instance, New Age believers, who think they become gods themselves, do not talk about what they believe about life after death, because for them, there is no life after death. For them, god dies when each one of them dies.

5) Mormons, who believe there are seven levels of heaven, are talking about a different place being offered to their believers, not the same heaven.

6) The general feeling that is presented on television of all people going to a place where they can either see what is going on here on earth after they die, or that they become some kind of angel or guardian after they die, is a statement of belief in a different place, not the same heaven.

7) Agnostics who believe that they will spend their lives after death being so busy shaking hands with all their friends are not talking about the same heaven, but a different place that gives them some kind of solace about what is facing them in the afterlife. It is their psychological response to having to answer to God, the Creator.

8) Those who believe that God, the Creator, actually used evolution to spread life on earth, are not talking about the same god, or about the same heaven. Evolutionists believe that we will continue to evolve into better and better people until we will have heaven on earth.


So let's stop debating the various ways to get to the one heaven, when in fact the various ways lead to different existences. The bottom line is that when someone offers you a special place in which to live for eternity, He has the right to set the entrance requirements.
