Hi
I was just wondering if you need to believe in Jesus to get to heaven.
Some people say no and some people say yes.
I am confused.
I am not trying to be an ass or anything, I just want a straight answer.

Who do you mean by "Jesus," and what do you mean by "Heaven?" If you can't clearly and distinctly define either of those things, either for yourself or others, your question is somewhat meaningless.

Depends on the particular religion/denomination you subscribe to.

I find it hard to believe that any god would send someone to eternal damnation for a short lifetime of not believing in Jesus. You should just be a good person, or at least try your best. After all jesus' Golden rule was to treat others how you'd like to be treated.
ETA: Jesus wasn't even a Christian.

maybe its really over, no thoughts, no feelings, nothing. i don't know. religion is for the living, it doesn't matter after death. maybe its only the beginning of something completely different. you call it heaven, i call it a universe open to explore.

Answering a straightforward question with a more confusing question.... Good job!
You deserve a medal!
It's obvious who and where he is referring to.

Good question. One I don't think any of us on this planet can answer with 100% accuracy. Every denomination will tell you something different. Every religion will also do the same. Even the anti-religions like atheism will give you their version of 'nothing'. I don't subscribe to a totally pointless universe but I can't answer your question with accuracy or any kind of proof. My proof only works for me.
I wouldn't want to give you an answer because If I'm wrong, I would be charges for taking you down with me. Heh
Just do what feels right for you. For me, it's a lifelong search, something I look for every day in everything, in thoughts, in my actions, in the actions of others and how everything turns out.
If you're curious and really want to know.... Just ask the source and like many of us, you will be given the answer. If it really is 'nothing', then you have nothing to lose. If it's something... Welp.. Better to be safe than burnt to a crisp for all eternity.

Beware the worship of false idols the only way to heaven is to follow the 10 commandments. The cross and jesus being false idols they are not the Lord god.
Great answer. Thankfully I am not an a hole so my ass is sort of covered.. I hope
I shall forgive them what they do not know.
