I already ate PORK then I CAN'T go to the HEAVEN anymore when i die....

Surely he will also not go to heaven in that case. If it's a sin for Muslims to eat pork, maybe they can confess it to their God and be forgiven by doing the deed. Anyway, each religion has it's beliefs so we only have to respect that no matter how we find it funny sometimes

Lol, that will be another story. He might take a pause before answering

He may laugh and then say: I didnt intend to do it..but it happened...

ya, i didn't eat pork in font of my Muslim friend but i did eat pork before because i have no religion at all, then i can eat any type of food. Based on what you said, i think i have enough condition to ascend to heaven later... because i am a good person. I have no big sin at all.

oh, really? then it is nice...

You guys can eat anything in front of me.

The way i see about Kingdom of God is that no one is allowed to enter no matter you eat pork, beef, cockroach, chicken, snake, fish or frog. As a mortal, you only can enter Paradise or Hell or continue to stay on earth eating your pork as your body is well nourished to live for hundred of years. Unless you believe your muslim friend is God, then i suggest you better stop eating pork immediately before he ban your entry into heaven forever once he get angry. If not, you may want to find other friend that can accept you as who you are rather than judge you by what you eat or what religion you believe. Just be careful, my friend!!

hihih, i like your thinking: Eating pork only disqualify your eligibility to enter into your friend's fantasy's land not heaven of God. God is fair and generous with all not with only Muslim people, people said that, then i believe God bless me too.

hihihi. I don't eat pork whenever i eat in front of him... He is nice guy, i think then he won't do anything harm me, then don't worry. It is just his opinion and i don't mind about it more...

I give you an example, try to figure it out by yourself. You get an exam with 10 question, if your answer correct you get 10 but if you fault you get -10. Like I have said before, there is something forbiden to be done. If you do this, it will decrease your goodness.

You may right, God knows all about it and if a guy makes enough goodness he can go to heaven later, and reverse. It is not depended on what we eat daily.

@Devilova: Sometimes, people don't read the Qur'an carefully as well. Even people with so many sins can still enter the heaven if they do the taubat.

In fact i have no religion at all. I know a bit about Buddhist, Muslim, Christians...via my friends only and i greatly respect religions, it is so interesting. Ya, i heard you guys in here told that also: God is a person who decides you can go to heaven or not, not you at all. i think my friend maybe wrong when he said like that..

RandyPatric, what Bible are you reading? Levi 11:7 "while the pig is unclean for you, because, although it has a separate and completely divided hoof, it doesn't chew the cud." Can't get much clearer than that! ryanong, your Muslim friend seems rather inconsistent with how he follows Islam.

@Randy: Dear Randy, chill out my friend. See my nickname and I'm a Muslim. And you can read my comment below. I agree with you for not starting the war but I have to make you understand that Ryan's friend doesn't read the Book carefully. It is he that has the false understanding. People like him, who has this kind of false understanding that can start this religion war. I don't like that either. I'm not a religious person, I used to eat pork as well before I start to learn my religion deeply. I live in a family with multiple religions (my uncle and aunt are Christians, my grandparents from my dad are Buddhist). So difference are okay with me. My dad used to read carefully the reasons why we are, as Muslims, not allowed or allowed to do things and he used this knowledge to explain to my grandmother to make her understand why we won't eat pork anymore. And she understands it well. So even if you eat this biggest pork chop sandwich with hot sauce right in front of my face, I would only say "go for it, man!"

@Ryan: Rules are made to be broken my friend. Heheheheh... Those friends of yours are not that religious as well then. Just like me.

Honestly i really don't know much about religion till i meet my Muslim friends. Then i know about God, heaven... When he told me like that, i was sad a bit..because if he is right, then it is not fair at all since i am a good person (many people said that). I don't pray God everyday but i believe God bless me too...

@Djbtol: Please my friend, don't judge people too quickly. It's God we're talking about, and even not only Muslims will be offended by such words. And I'm a Muslim. I have to admit that Ryan's Muslim friend does not read our Holy Book carefully nor he learns about it carefully. I have to say sorry for his behalf, but please don't say anything about God is a pig. For any other religions as well. I respect people's faith or choice for their lives, but it is not our decision to judge others' faith as well. If you assume God is a pig, then what are you? A pig as well? Because I believe there is only one God. Just like there is only one Rome. It is our decisions to take the way to Rome, either you fly or swim or walk, or take the bus or train. That's just the same, it is our decisions to take our ways to heaven as well. God bless, my friend.

kmsl, amen to that

I agree with you. I am Christian so I do believe that a sinner can find a place beside God. I grew up not by religion but buy faith. I do not always go to church as I do not want to be influenced by man but I only want to learn from what God shows me. I am not perfect but through Christ I believe I am saved. I have always believed in loving everyone even my enemy's for it is not my place to judge. I may not like or even approve a persons actions or choices, however; I do have to love the person as if they are my family. Living by this makes it easier for me to accept people for who they are not by what they do.

Thank you for your sharing...I know more about religions now...

@Sandra_Hatfield: I have no religion but somehow i believe in God especially when i get upset, sorrow, etc in my life. You are such a nice person, and i am sure God always bless you.

When I mentioned diet in relation to religion, I did not mean that anyone needed to lose weight. I referring to restrictions placed on people because of their religion. Muslims are not the only ones who can't eat pork. It is forbidden for orthodox Jews, also. In fact, their meat has to be slaughtered in a certain way top be kosher (allowed). Many Catholics still eat only fish on Fridays. What I meant to say is that denying yourself certain foods is only a small part of religion. Jesus said that the most important commandment is to love God with your whole being and the second one is like unto it: to love one's neighbor as yourself. Ask your friend if his god is a forgiving god.

Ah, i understand your meaning now. The second one is love the neighbors as yourself...hihihi, if all people can do it...then this world is so nice and wonderful, full of peace..

I can't take diet because i am too slim now so that i need eat variety of food type. My friend is good when he follow his religion: don't eat pork. Some Buddhist people, they are vegetarian, never eat meat also. I think having religion is very good also...

iam moslem ryanong.. it is HARAM..it means that we get sin.. the sinner people can find a place beside God, as long as he did not do an action called MUSYRIK or SYIRIK (in our religion opinion) what is MUSYRIk or SYIRIK?? if they admit that there are another God beside one God (in our religion opinion) and admit that there are another prophet after Mohammad....

Umh, i have no religion but since i know a bit about muslim so that i have to think of his talk...What is your religion?

Ah, you are Muslim also, so that the rule is you can't go to heaven if you already eat pork??? is it true? But i heard people in here say a sinner can find a place beside God also.

Yes, in our religion we believe that God is fair and He gives lots of chances to sinners.. it doesn't even matter how bad you are as long as before you die you really repent and regret the bad stuff you did..

Really? It means even the bad people still have a chance ascend to heaven if before they die they really repent and regret the bad stuff that they did??? God is so generous, i think.

Ya, you are right...he doesn't eat pork because of his religion, i have no religion then i did eat pork, but i am a good person too, then i can still ascend to heaven after i die, it is fair, i think...

Kashimir? Where's that? When you go there, make sure start a discussion about it. I'd like to know how it looks.

Kashimir is near India and Parkitan. Ya, i heard that...then i really want to go there to see how the heaven is...but return tickets to there is quite expensive, around $1000, so that i have to save hard to have enough money for going to there.

hihihi, in fact i am a nice person... I don't have a religion so that i am so curious how the heaven is... One my friend told me that Kashimir is the heaven on this earth so that i really hope i could visit there to see how the heaven looks. Do you have a religion?

Huh? is it? but i am not a muslim gal, then how?

Based on what you told..then now i could understand why my friend told me that i could not go to heaven later...because i used to eat meat.... By the way, it is ok...i don't have a religion but i always to be a good person...Then God will still bless me...

1. Do not eat pork is showing respect to Buddhism 2. Do not eat blood or recieve blood from blood bank is to show respect to Jehovah's witnesses 3. Do not eat meat when its Good Friday is showing respect to Roman Catholic 4. And do not eat anything at all if its Ramadan is showing respect to Muslim To follow all these numbers from 1 to 4 will Gods out there will surely understand.

Oh, your information is very informative. Thank you. You said there is some people who will ascend to heaven only...then what are the conditions these people can ascend to heaven later?

jobfindonline, you haven't got your facts right. Levi 11 and Deut 14 give laws about what food can be eaten and pork is excluded: http://www.hoshanarabbah.org/food.html. The thing about there only being a certain number (144,000) of places in heaven comes from the Jehovah's Witnesses who are heretics. It's generally accepted by Christians that all Christians will go to heaven and all those who reject the gospel will go to hell. What happens to people who never hear the gospel is less clear. There are also complications for those who are still alive when Jesus returns or the rapture happens (I don't believe in the rapture). The Biblical basis for this is complicated.

Oh, it seems so complicated...after reading, i really don't know who is right...

You maybe right, some people who never eat pork but they can't go to heaven later also. I have no religion then i still eat pork so far even though currently i don't eat pork regularly, my favorite is fishes now. But i still believe that God bless me and i still have a chance to be beside God later. Do you have religion?

hihihi, eating pork in Muslim is illegal so that he told me that, i think. Well, i don't mind about his talk much since i have no religion and eating pork is not harm to me. You are right, we can have a chance to go to heaven since we are a good person...

Thank you. many people said that also and i hope God bless me. Are you muslim?

I understand your sharing. Maybe my friend is religious person so that in his mind if anyone who ate pork can not ascend to heaven later. I don't know at all, with him eating pork is a sin based on his religion but with me, eat pork is normal because i have no religion at all. However, i heard that a good people can ascend to heaven..then i think i may ascend to heaven later....because i am the good person...

Yes, i know..that's why at that time i didnt ask him back a reason why...But since i openned this topic, i know more about muslim.
