Asked and answered before

As k either guard, "If I asked the other guard which was the door to heaven which would he say?" Whichever door he indicates, choose the other one.

turn to one guard (it doesn't matter which one) and ask:
what door would the other guard tell me to go through to get to heaven?

then choose the other door - it will always lead to heaven.

if you ask the truthful guard, he'll tell you which one the lying one would advise. If you ask the lying guard, because he lies, he'll point to the same door.
