John 20:29 (King James Version)
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
What else is there to know? Men make things so complicated, most who are always looking for signs and questioning the Lord, only do so because they do not want to give up their wordly lifestyle, therefore it makes them feel better to say God does not exist. There is ONE GOD, and ONE FAITH, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, He Rules, whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not.
Satan does not like the WORD of God either, he likes us to try to fight our battles without the Scriptures,he knows the VICTORY is in Christ, that is why we are to put on the ARMOR OF GOD and not even try to do it within ourselves, we have the VICTORY through Christ.

Thankful for Christians like you who know how to use the scripture, that is how we are supposed to respond,with the word of God, not just from our own thoughts. People want to modify our Lord to suit their way of life, so therefore distort the WORD of GOD. Thank you for
inspiration and dedication
David and Jonathan were CLOSE FRIENDS, BROTHERLY LOVE. I know of many people who trust and love someone of the same sex as themselves and would say the exact same thing David said of Jonathan, can you not understand that some relationships of the same sex are better than some of the opposite sex????? Does that make them homosexual???? NO it does not.
Whomever wants to live this way , Fine, but stop twisting the WORD OF GOD and modifying Him to suit you , we all could do that, but we need to acknowledge ALL the sins in our lives , and not just homosexuality, BUT ALL SIN , and strive to live the life God commands.

TO THE ONES WHO HAVE REALLY PREACHED THEIR HEARTS OUT TO SOME OF THESE COMMENTERS WHO HAVE SAID THE MOST VILE THINGS ABOUT OUR LORD
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces"
(Matt 7:6) NKJV
If people have had plenty of opportunity to hear the truth but do not respond to it... we are not to go on and on with them, for then we cheapen God's gospel of letting them trample it under foot.
Note these additional comments in the Life Application Bible:
"It is futile to try to teach holy concepts to people who don't want to listen and will only tear apart what we say. We should not stop giving God's Word to unbelievers, but we should be wise and discerning in what we teach to whom, so that we will not be wasting our time."
We are asked to let our light shine, by doing good works (Matthew 5:16). We cannot convert a person--only God can do this (Romans 2:4). It is true that we are told to be prepared to give a defense or an answer to those who ask us about the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15)--but this addresses people who are genuinely interested.

"He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)
By example, Jesus teaches us how to behave. Jesus answers meaningful questions, but refuses to grovel with answers to insubstantial questions and corrupt questioners who are not seeking the truth.

TO THE ONES WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS WHO COMMENT ON THIS CHRISTIAN POST SITE, AND REJECT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
For those who have little or no spiritual capacity (enemies of the gospel), one must be cautious in what one says and not "throw your pearls to pigs". One must be cautious not to pass on the sacred to that which is profane. One should be careful not to pass on holy things to unholy people who will have nothing but disdain for the things of Christ.
An example of this would be when Jesus sent out 70 disciples to proclaim the gospel. He instructed them that if they came to a village and the people there rejected their teachings, they were to shake the dust off their feet and go elsewhere (Luke 10:10,11). The idea Jesus communicated to them was, "Don't throw your pearls before swine. Move on to another city and share your pearls there."
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces"

AMEN!!!
As for God not sharing His glory with anyone, meaning other false gods, satan, or whomever or whatever, He will not, because He is THE ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD. This I believe was what JC was stating.

We have to seperate ourselves and stand up for the Word of God. Christians do need to stop straddling the fence, be one way or the other, I my self was once guilty of that, but you can not have it both ways.

You are either for God or against God, claiming to be a child of GOD and endorsing the theory of
evolution is totally not standing for GOD. I do not say this with a mean spirit toward you, we need to stand firm on a solid foundation with Christ and not waver.
rcinsocal
When one truly becomes a child of God, they do not want to do the things that God says are an abomination, no matter whether it is shellfish or anything else. They will want to be pleasing to the Lord in all aspects of life. We need His Holy Spirit to strengthen us and guide us to do those things that a true child of God WILL WANT to do for HIM. There are many sins that are an abomination and displeasing in the Lords sight, but we need to go to Him in with humble hearts, and ask for His help in changing us and applying that change to our lives,,, if not ,then the answer to your question YES Heaven will be that empty.
7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
