WHY

THIS CHAPTER.

The most

common misconception nonbelievers have about heaven is believing you get there

by being good.

This notion

reveals mistaken ideas of heaven, of why one should be good, and

of the nature and seriousness of unbelief.

While

much could be written about all this, these paragraphs just begin to answer

what is more fully covered under Introduction.

Why

can mass-murderers go to heaven, but unbelievers cannot.

thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to

atheism.

Morgan

A spiteful

challenge to the true definition of Christian stems from the late serial

killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Although Lionel Dahmer recalls his son posing

the very atheistic question, If there s not a god, why can t I make my

own rules., Jeffrey was reported to have converted after his arrest. He

is also said to have read from the writings of the apostle Paul at his sentencing.

Anti-Christian

proponents afterward had a field day using Jeffrey Dahmer as the poster

child for Christianity by associating all kinds of evil as being characteristic

of God and everyone who believes in him. Behind all the fallacious guilt-by-association,

a very legitimate question can nevertheless be found:

Can

someone as horrible as a mass murder become a Christian - that is, go to

heaven - and, if so, what does that say about God.

First, to the dismay of Bible quoting felons around the globe, conversion

to belief in Christ does not waive the earthly consequences of one s sins

in the eyes of God or government.

Second,

true conversion is God s invisible action within a person that coincides

with their honest turning towards him. No one begins the spiritual birth

mature and perfectly obedient. As such, the only visible evidence of conversion

that others can expect to see will be the outward effects of a changed life.

So whether or not Dahmer had a sincere profession of faith is unknowable

now that his life has ended and no behaviors may be evidenced.

Third,

even if Dahmer s conversion was real, conversion does not override a

believer s freedom to choose between sinning or pleasing God. Believers

can and will still sin, but with an important exception. Conversion permanently

provides the believer with the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit

gives believers the ability not to sin, and the capability to be so open

to God that they are filled with this companion and teacher. When believers

do sin, they grieve the Holy Spirit within them, feel that grief themselves,

and forfeit the benefits for which the Spirit is there to provide.

if Christians may go against God s teachings found in the Bible but will

be made to feel bad about it by the Holy Spirit, would they not be better

off if they remained non-Christian until their deathbed so that they could

sin until then and feel good about it.

This

presumes that sin brings nothing but good feelings. That is not the case.

We are not commanded to be faithful to our spouse, to always speak the truth

in love, and to abhor murder and adultery just to please God: these are

for our own joy and well-being, too. Furthermore, life, like money, can

be spent fast and loose for a time. But the day we come up short is also

the day it s too late to fix the problem.

Besides,

if a deathbed confession is our plan now, how will we expect to convince

God of our sincerity then. Our obedience is not what gets

us into heaven, but it is something that God will nonetheless judge. See

also What is the

gospel.

An additional objection posed by nonbelievers, especially

in a case like Dahmer s, is the perceived inequity that horrible murder

cannot keep a person out of heaven, but innocent unbelief can.

Murder

is horrible, but so is unbelief in light of what God has done for us, in

light of the seriousness of sin, and in light of the massive amount of evidence

God has provided by which we may believe. The seriousness of unbelief

is always difficult to understand until one comes to see unbelief as God

sees it. That might not be fully appreciated until one comes to know

God personally.

Knowing

God personally means not just knowing about him, but it means coming to

know him as one would a close friend or family member. You know a friend

through years of listening to them and talking with them. Similarly, you

know God through believing in him and allowing the presence of his Spirit

to fill you, and by interacting with him in prayer.

is critical to actually know God rather than just know about him. The difference

is like a convict on death row who might be able to say, I know the Governor

versus another who could only say, I know about the Governor. Either

statement can be true, but only one is a relationship in which there will

be a confident hope of seeing a positive difference in one s future. That

relationship with God through Jesus Christ is precisely what sets one apart

as Christian. Only from within that relationship may unbelief truly be seen

as God sees it.

As it says in the bible: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians

What this means is that whoever is saved and knows Christ as their savior becomes a completely new person. So of course even if a serial killer is saved, he will go to heaven. Also for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans That means is that every single one of us have sinned and are not righteous to go to heaven to be with God forever. We all have sinned and that means that none of us can go to heaven. So a serial killer s sin is no worse than our own. In conclusion, if a serial killer becomes born again in Christ, he can go to heaven.

As it says in the bible: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians

The Serial Killer Who Went to Heaven he would go to Heaven. That serial killer exercised his free will to the worst degree.

I m confused. I keep coming across waves of different Christians with very different beliefs. Up until recently, it was my understanding that faith is what got you.

Did Jeffrey Dahmer go to heaven. the underlying question remains: can a really bad person go to heaven. Serial Killers.
