And my original question is how is a authority in the church giving false hope that atheist are going to heaven and saying that Adam and Eve are just a bed time story? To me this statement about atheist’s going to heaven sounds like universalism where everyone will get to be in heaven even the devil and his angles. And he undoubly does not believe that the word of God is true and valid in all it says other wise he would of said of course the Adam and Eve is a factual account. My question to Pell would be if the Adam and Eve is just a story what else is just a story? Was Moses just a story? Maybe Jesus is just a story since there is no historical evidence that He ever did live. May be it is just a racket that someone thought up to control people and to get money from.
Cardinal Pell was asked "CAN" an atheist go to heaven, not "WILL" a specific atheist go to heaven. As I pointed out in post #10 it is possible. The Cardinal was correct.
