How Many Of Billions Of Christians On Earth Do You Think Would Make Heaven?

According to Wikipedia, there were approximately 2.4 billions Christians on earth.

That makes Christianity the world's largest religion.

Ordinarily that should be something worth shouting about for an adherent of the faith, however considering the fact that Christianity was not about what men see but about what God sees, how many of those billions of Christians do you think were actually known to God?

How many of them were actually saved and bound for heaven?

I saw a post a brother shared here not too long ago concerning the general overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

It was about what God once told him about the hundreds of thousands or even millions of people that would attend the Holy Ghost congress from every part of the country and beyond during one of those annual gatherings.

God told him He didn't know up to a hundred of them.


Now kindly take a deep breath and ponder on that saying, so the meaning could sink deeply to enable you grasp it fully.

Out of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, God said He knew less than a hundred of them.

That's less than 0.1 percent, which means that more than 99.9 percent of Christians attending that particular church program were bound for hell from God's own point of view.

So just imagine that compared to what many Christians believe.

Doesn't that already show how far they were from the reality of heaven?

The only reason many Christians will be surprised by that reality is if they allowed themselves to be deceived by doctrines and ideas of men in the church, and not abide by the Truth and Words of the Spirit which Jesus preached, because Jesus already taught us that the way that gate that leads to life was narrow and that which leads to destruction was broad.

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV)

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


This is the reason why He asked us to strive to enter into the gate that leads to life, because it's not easy to enter into it as many have been misled to think but hard.

Luke 13:24 (KJV)

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

It's the gate that leads to destruction that's. not hard but easy to enter so you wouldn't need to stress yourself or strive to enter because it's broad.

That's why we shouldn't be deceived by the mammoth crowd gatherings in some churches, because most (not all) of them were broad as the gate that leads to destruction, in the sense of the gospel they preach, as it is that which was appealing to the flesh and what men want to hear, hence many go in, but the end thereof is death and destruction, because the flesh profits nothing. It's the Spirit that gives life.

That why we should follow the example of Jesus (the Narrow way) who preached the Word of the Spirit, regardless if it offended many of His false disciples and make them to leave because of His preaching. John

It better to have a few church members (200), and just 10% (20) who were bound for hell, than to have many church members (hundreds of thousands or million) and less than 0.1% of them were heaven bound.

God bless.

That's why setting attendance targets, among other such worldly practices in many church today, which makes people start preaching rubbish (the words of the flesh), which people want to hear instead of the Gospel of Christ which may not be so appealing to men, is very wrong, because it may fill up the church building with souls, but it will also make the church to be full of souls bound for hell fire instead of heaven.

God bless.

Nobody will make heaven I swearugad.
The criteria for making Heaven are just too much. More so, humans are extremely terrible to humanity. Man by default, is wicked and evil and seeks to do harm at all time.

Being a Christian by name or affiliation is very much differnt from being a Christian. To be candid less than 10% of those who call themselves Christians are Christians.
So don't get it confused.
Even your pastor may not be a Christian. You heard right.

And don't be decieved, going to church doesn't make you a Christian. The devil goes to church. He sends his agents there.

Likely, because it's a narrow way I'm taking not a broad way. There are only few people on this path.

None cuz heaven is a figment of imagination

The Bible doesn't say much about what heaven is supposed to be like. Most of the claims about heaven are exaggerations of the Bible. The Bible says the Gates are made of pearl. What are the gates for? Are they made just as an excuse to irritate clams? Are the gates supposed to keep someone out or to keep souls from escaping?

it also says the streets are paved with gold but the only reason we actually like gold so much and we attach such values to it is because they are rare and difficult to extract. Gold is malleable and can be formed as needed for use in, among others, electronics, dentistry, medical tools, and the defense, aerospace, and automotive industries. Gold is durable and noncorrosive. However gold shouldn't be valuable at all in heaven unless we'd still need to use gold for those things in heaven too which actually makes heaven just another version of earth

The sales pitch for heaven is that there is only happiness and no sorrow. But it also says that many people's loved ones won't be there. Since they can't feel sorrow about that, are they ecstatic that their loved ones are being tortured forever? Either your memories are removed or your human empathy is removed. Is it really you that is left over once some parts of you have been removed?

If life matters to me now, it will always have mattered to me, even when I am gone. Death cannot change that.

Your best hope is to be locked in a gold cage with your memories of having an actual life being erased just so you can kiss ass for eternity.

Life is pleasant, death is serene. The transition might be troublesome but we all have to go through it. You shouldn't fear death so much. Heaven and hell are imaginary. You should reject the indoctrination. Life is much better that way.

To quote a friend: "Heaven's supposed to be this really great place, right? So how come a third of the angels got pissed off??"

I find it odd that Christians look forward to spending an eternity worshipping an insatiable praise hungry entity who will probably roast most of their loved ones, totally unappealing.

At least the Muslims heaven has 72 virgins to keep the body warm but the psychos have to blow themselves up first. Religion is just stupid.

The concept of heaven is foolishness taken too far!

The only reason the existence of God is believable is because he created the universe, all others Jesus, Mohammed etc are scams!

I'm not sure anybody would make Heaven. And if any, maybe Two or three. I have had a lot of terrible encounters with Many pastors and self acclaimed Prophets, what I have seen so far aches my head, it saddens me. I'm not judging anyone, but if what the bible says is real, the rules of making Heaven are too stringent

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27.
That defines what region means to Him, emphasizing on what to do. Re-echoed in Matt 25:35-46.
