"More than three years after Pope Francis sparked a firestorm of religious debate by telling a young boy that his deceased atheist father might still end up in Heaven, a new study from the Pew Research Center shows a majority of Catholic and mainline Christians also believe people who don’t believe in God will go to Heaven." "In discussing American views on the afterlife, the study showed that majorities of U.S. adults believe in both Heaven and Hell, but significantly more believe in Heaven. Some 73% of respondents reported belief in Heaven, while 62% of respondents reported belief in Hell." "When it comes to Christians as a group, the study showed that the overwhelming majority of all Christian groups supported belief in Heaven. Protestants from historically black and evangelical churches were more likely than mainline Protestant Christians or Catholics to express belief in Hell." "And while 39% of all American adults, in general, believe people who don’t believe in God can still go to Heaven, 68% of Catholics and 56% of mainline Protestant Christians were found to hold this belief compared to 21% of evangelicals and 31% of Christians from historically black churches." I would say "unbelievable" but that's just the signs of our times. Last time I looked the Bible makes it pretty clear that there is one path to Heaven. All I can do is shake my head. Lord take us home. It seems most “Christians” never read their Bibles. Too many clowns out there entertaining the goats. ? The new slogan is "If the pope espouses it, it ain't scriptural." Going to God’s house, but he is not home! WOW! TR
