Jeffrey Dahmer

Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven and Ghandi in Hell?

This question always irks me as Jeff was a canibalistic serial killer and Ghandi was a good man. According to many Christians though, Jeff is in Heaven while Ghandi is in Hell. The reason is that Dahmer supposedly confessed and repented right before he died at the hands of another inmate. Ghandi on the otherhand was not Christian and therefore went to Hell for any sin that he commited (no matter how minor). Even if Ghandi was absolutely perfect, he would still go to Hell because of Adam and Eve eating the apple and Original Sin.

1. going to heaven or hell isnt based on if you are good or bad, but if your saved or not
2. The name is "Gandhi."
3. Whoever asks for forgiveness is in heaven. Whoever did not..is in hell. very simple really.
4. there is no heaven we all go into the ground and be reborn by our children! why cant anyone see this is what was meant?
5. yes. The good lord doesn't care what you do as much as what you believe. Ghandi was a liberal anti-American elitist. He deserves hell. Dahmer was saved by the blood of the lamb, glory be.
6. Where did you sample these "many Christians"? There are 2,000,000,000 Christians on earth. How many did you talk to? Traditional Christian doctrine does not send murderers to heaven and good men to hell.
7. No, Jeffery D is not in Heaven. He was not a Christian. He CLAIMED it at the end.
8. Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Regardless of how good or bad one has lived their life, God's "Judgement" is dependent soley on one thing: Did you stroke he ego enough? Did you worship him? If not then you get tossed into his dungeon playground, no questions asked. If you did, then you get membership into his afterlife Club Med...no questions asked. Some "justice".
9. No one knows a man's heart before death except God. No one can judge who goes to hell and who does not. That is God's job, not ours.
10. It is religion. It isn't supposed to make sense. AEN
11. i think it is the other way around. Dahmer should be in hell, Christian or not and Gandhi, who promoted peace, is in Paradise. (though I think Hindus believe in reincarnation) Blessed Be
12. scot is right it doesnt make any sence. and it isnt right. and that question is one of the resons why I chose not be a christian.
13. According to the Holy Bible, only 144,000 are going to heaven anyway, all of them men, probably all Jews, quite possibly all homosexuals: (So Gandhi & Jeff are BOTH in Hades...) Revelation 14 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
14. According to these Christians, believing in god is more important than being a good person (which would explain the behavior of many Christians). That's why they are so pious, because they can lead a sinful life and repent at the last minute. Let me say this, the reason that it irks you is because it makes no sense, because its based on fantasy. You'll never get a straight answer from theists because they know there is none.
15. Adam and Eve, as far as I know from Scripture, never ate an apple. If Jeffrey Dahmer was witnessed to in jail and accepted Jesus as his personal savior before he died and repented of his heinous crimes/sins, then yes. He was saved. But, according to Scripture, he may not have any rewards in heaven. We are told that some Christians may be very ashamed of this as it has something to do with your position in God's Kingdom. If Gandhi did indeed, deny Christ as Savior and did not believe in His resurrection, before he died, then he was not saved according to the Scriptures. It has nothing to do with your being good or bad, but whether you accepted the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is a free gift to all who would receive it. The Holy Spirit that seals you after this confession works on your behavior and way of thinking. We are to come as we are. Only God knows the fate of both. We don't know how God will judge, but we do know it will be fair. We should not speculate. Both men are dead now, you need to worry about your own salvation.
16. "Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven and Ghandi in Hell?" No and No.
17. all are asleep until the day of judgment and God shall judge each accordingly....
18. that certainly is the teaching of the christian/catholic doctrine....... it's meant to be that obvious.... because people have lived so blind to the truth that they can't quite get a handle on what's wrong with this picture... here are a few facts... catholics and christians have gained power not through peace but war, murder racism, sexism and hatred... they have left a path of destruction in their history a mile wide... the terms good and evil come from christian/catholic teachings... they have nothing to do with right and wrong... often simply to justify murder their opposers.. sin has nothing to do with right or wrong either... priest who rape children are called good because they do it with the church's blessing... they don't`care about people they care only about the preservation of their religion.... Once we start picking apart their religion and religious practices we begin to see a pattern emerging, eventually we will have to come to the conclusion that if there is evil on earth it comes straight from these religions and nothing else.
19. You're being silly again. Think about things before you show us what an idiot you are.
