Do we have to believe to land into the heaven?
It's my first note here so it might be advisable to say hello to everyone. I write here in order to improve my writing English skill.
At the same time I want to write something interesting so I hope I can do this.
I'm Christian(at least I think so :) ) but from my childhood I had a lots of questions that were not in harmony of Christian religion. Let say someone generally is really good person, takes care of his family, friends and strangers but at the same time he does not hear about any gods etc. He or she in his intrinsic nature is a good person. So what about him after dead?
Do you sometimes have similar questions? What do you think about that?

David, thank you for your really good answer. To be hones, now, for a moment I don't want to stick to any doctrine. I just want to look furthermore. Why do you say ' this person who is good but not Christian commited a sin at least once in his life' . Lets suppose, other people from other religious are generally good, then, how they can be bad in the eyes of Jesus ? Only because they don't know/don't believes in Jesus? I think Jesus or other prophets, if I can say "are happy' about a fact that someone is generally good. I think they tried to learn us general rules about the life, how we should cooperate with other people. What do you think about this?

Hey there, Tomasz!
well, I am not really what you can call a Christian but as far as I know, in Christian doctrine, as shown in John 14:6 (I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father exept through me). this person who is good but not Christian commited a sin at least once in his life (most sins are things you would expect a regular human to do, the so called "flesh desires"). Since he did not accept Jesus as his lord and saviour, he is gonna perish.
however, as Paul said in one of his letters, a faith without good work is a dead faith. So if you have Jesus as your lord and saviour and do not do good things, you don't reeeealy believe in him, thats why you are not good, you get it?
I was raised protestant and thats what they preach. I do think some catholis believe that aswell
well, in my opinion going to hell for the matter of not knowing Christ is not fair, no matter how hard you try, there will always be someone who has never heard about it even within western civilization.
you should be punished for wrong things you do, but what if you do not even know the things you are doing are "wrong"?
