People Going To Heaven No Matter What

CC1 · #1 07-15-2009, 10:29 PM

While I don't proclaim to subscribe to the light doctrine I do believe that there are some individuals that due to certain circumstances are sure to make heaven no matter their doctrincal beliefs.

I have no biblical proof of this doctrine and so offer no defense of it. I do offer up some of my canidates for this doctrinre;

PEOPLE GOING TO HEAVEN REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL DOCTRINE:

1. Person who invented air conditioning.
2. Person who discovered chocolate
3. Person who invented ice cream
4. Person who invented "frying" as a form of cooking foods. In particular chicken.
5. Person who invented the hot water heater
6. Thomas Edison and others who either invented or worked to perfect electricity.

I am sure there are more in this special catagory but at this time of night these are the ones that come to mind.

Who are your candiates?

I personally heard an Assistant General Superintendent say that "God would make an exception" for Paul Harvey, Louis L'Amour and Rush Limbaugh.

I sincerely hope I'm saved, but with my luck, even if I am saved, Heaven will loose my RSVP for 10,000 years while I roast in Purgatory on the edge of the lake of fire. Once they find my UPCI baptismal certificate they'll allow me in - but they’ll be all out of white robes. So I’ll be issued a fuchsia bathrobe that once belonged to Charles Spurgeon (a favorite preacher of mine, but a smoker *cough cough*). Then when I finally get to the Marriage Supper they’ll be all out of Lamb and Ham so I’ll get stuck eating cold corn and what’s left of the green beans and hummus - and to top off my first day in Heaven … in the New Jerusalem I'll get the room at the end of a 144,000 cubit hallway next to the noisy ice-machine. My room mate will be a Cherubim with a speech impediment who won’t stop saying, “Howey howey howey ith duh Wud Gwud Awewighty.”, for what seems like an eternity. Then they'll relocate me out to a fixer-upper mansion on the South side of the Crystal Sea. As it turns out, crackjak will be right and Hitler will be moved in right next door - and our Heavenly property values will drop. To make matters worse my immediate neighbors to the East will be a bunch of rowdy Christian Reincarnationists who are just renting.

Oh well... I'm sure it could be worse.
