i don't think enough people realize that although it is a byproduct of salvation, being a good person in and of itself has nothing to do with getting into heaven.
people make mistakes. we took the apple from the snake. but the entire reason jesus died was so that we could be freed from those mistakes.
show me in the bible where it says admittance to heaven has anything to do with right action. you can't. however, i'll show you where it says it doesn't:
2 Timothy 1:9 - "Who hath saved us, and called with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began..." (KJV)
note the phrase "not according to our works". ;)
now go ponder the holiness of calling me a dumbass. may i give you another couple verses to help you think about it??
Matthew 7:3-5 "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. (RSV)
I don't consider myself holy, so I can call you a dumbass. It does go against my normal thinking in life, I do good because I think it's right. By the way, you can quote the bible all you want, it's not always dead true. In most cases, like anything having to do with Jesus, it was written down many generations after his stuff happened. So quote the bible. I guess wat I'm getting at is I find you quite hipocritical, and I really don't like you. Go ahead and respond to this, I'm not going to read it again.
very well then. oh, i am quite the hypocrite. you are most assuredly correct, and i won't disagree with you at all there. all christians are hypocrites, in some way or another...we preach against all sin, and yet we commit one or another. that is hypocrisy in a nutshell. i'm sorry to hear that you don't believe the Bible...but to those of us who do, it is the unarguable inspired Word of the Lord, and holds no question marks regarding such a matter as this. perhaps one day, you will hear this from someone you like, and it will open your heart and your mind. May the Lord bless you.
