Unfortunately, your question is an impossible question to answer, despite the valliant effort by some of the previous posts. The fact that these supposedly selfless, moral, charitable people have heard the Christian message and rejected it makes it impossible for them to enter heaven no matter what I do for them.
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through me.'" (emphasis added)
If they rejected Christ and the sacrifice that he made for them, they also rejected God and will NEVER have a place in heaven no matter what sacrifice I would be willing to make.

I didn't miss the 'if'. I was merely stating that the question that was asked was unanswerable. If I was unclear, my point was that God would not give me (or anyone) the capability of sending people into heaven who have already rejected Him. God did not turn them away from heaven, they CHOSE to be separated from him.

I'm sorry, I thought that this forum was a place to share your ideas on Faith and Belief. That's what I was attempting to do. I was merely sharing my thoughts and beliefs on this discussion.
Oh, you might also want to check the 'Rules' link at the top of the page.
quote:
10. Keep discussion civil and avoid inflammatory behavior that might distract attention from the topic. Argue the position, not the person.
Perhaps this discussion could be better disputed if you were more concerned about what is being discussed rather than whether or not you think that I'm an idiot.
