Can atheist go to heaven?

Can an atheist go to heaven to live in the presence of Almighty God who created the entire universe in six days 5778 years ago????



According to Romans 3:4 it appears as the Apostle states that the Laws of God are present in all people—they are a natural moral code.



Rom 2:14-15 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)



Rom 2:25-27 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.

If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?

The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.



There are many other statements to consider –but these few can be the basis for consideration.



When a man asked Jesus what is required for a person to enter the Kingdom of heaven (the Kingdom of heaven is synonymous with the presence of God), he replied as follows—Mark 10:17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Mar 10:18-19 “Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone.

You know the commandments:

'Do not murder,

do not commit adultery,

do not steal,

do not give false testimony,

do not defraud, honour your father and mother.'"




So now it is possible for an atheist to enter the Kingdom of Heaven to be in the presence of Yahweh the Creator if he has lived his life in this manner.

In accordance wit the above reference in Romans 2:14-15 these are natural laws to which all mankind can live, if they so choose!



Now if an atheist has not lived in accordance with these basic laws they will need to repent—this is a whole different scenario!



The question Christianity will pose is what about the death of Jesus being a propitiation—well if a person has not violated these basic requirements then there is no need for God to judge a person?



We would then have to consider the people before the death of Jesus in the light of Romans 2:14-15.



One factor is that some atheist have built up a case against Yahweh not considering the conduct of humanity who lived in disregard of the basic moral laws that all can follow—also Yahweh can not be held responsible for the conduct of many people as recorded in the Scriptures—Lots daughters being one, as with the case of David and Bathsheba.



It is the same as Hitler who invaded—one cannot hold Yahweh to account, plus all that is happening in the world to day is mans choice.





Paul.
