While there are many differences between the faith about who goes in which direction after death I believe there can be common ground. For I belief there are different paths to heaven and although one might be a bit less arduous then another that path still remains open to most. On the other hand when your heart has been hardened away, from the pain you cause for the acts of sin, you can be assured that the path of hell is awaiting you. Asking for true forgiveness and seeking a different path is a way to stop this downward spiral. The first act is a clear warning just like Pharoah had his but as you continue down this path there becomes less a chance of recovery. In other words the more you distance yourself away from your soul the harder the path to heaven becomes. By being a person of faith who humbles himself in front of his creator and seeks to live a life as such the path to heaven is open to thee.
