concerning the question about if a budist can go to heaven:

First me must look at why people say a budist cant go to heaven, and then we can formulate a better understanding. Jesus Christ said "i am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the father but through me." He also said "broad is the gate that leads to death and wide the road that leads to destruction, and many will take it, but narrow is the gate that leads to life and few will find it." One more says "For there is no other name given in heaven or on earth by which men can be saved. (refering to Jesus).

Now the only problem that exists is; is Jesus Christ a lier and a fake or is he what he said he was? I was talking to someone the other day about this same issue and he said. "I believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, but i believe that by simply believeing in God you can get to heaven." This is a contradiction. Many religions existed before Jesus came to the earth, and they all believed in God. If they could get to heaven because of that it would make jesus dieing on the cross completely useless. also concering simply believing in God, the book of james in the bible clearly says that even demans believe in God.

So in actuality you can either accept Jesus Christ personally or you can reject him. there is no middle ground.
