How To Get To Heaven When You Die?

Up Up, down down, left right, left right...

the better part of you post is nothing more than subjective reasoning.

as a christian i dont do something because of the "fuk around and find out" rule, I dont do it because its wrong.

"invent fairytales" ? I didnt "invent" scripture

there is a higher level of being in scripture simply not found in the world. understand you know nothing about it. comments like "...some extraordinary powerful magic man will smite you if you steal or kill a man?" and " ...punished in a some horrible pit of fire for eternity if you work on Sunday?" shows you havent the foggiest idea what scripture is saying. In my experience every atheist/antitheist 100% no bullchit is monumentally ignorant of the meaning of scripture and that is something to perplex about? unless scripture be true then it makes perfect sense........ atheists/antitheist play their part strengthening my faith..........

you ever ponder the idea of forgiving your enemies or why you have a problem with repentance? have you even heard of these concepts? you wont find any ideas like those in the world. In the world you will follow your urges do what you think you can get away with and adjust the "moral" bar as needed. look at the lefties you contend with, they are convinced they hold the moral high ground.



nope, its your dodge going to a dialog thats not ours and I am not going to let you do it

shoryuken !

You do though.

Psalm 53:1-3

1 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.

Now let's look at Romans 3:9-20

9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

You want to talk about being a "decent" human being? Even if you break one sin and never sin again, you are still guilty of sin.

James 2:8-10

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.



The standard that was set is perfection, something that we can never do. Jesus is the only one who has ever lived the perfect, sinless life. I don't care how "decent" of a human being you are, you still fail to meet the mark. You can do all these good and wonderful things but they won't save you. You have a huge debt to pay which will be paid in death. What you deserve is to be cut off from the source of life. The only way you can avoid that terrible fate is if your debt is forgiven. The issue was never about whether God exists or not, even if He were to show himself before you, that still won't resolve the heart of the issue, that being sin. You can read the Old Testament and see that the Israelite's had no issue at all whether or not God existed and yet they still stumbled in sin.

You need forgiveness as you are not righteous in God's eyes and it's His judgement that you should care about. You cannot justify yourself by your works. The Bible has made that part very clear.

preach it brother

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Remember when the Queen passed away? As the Union Jack was lowered Rainbows appeared at Windsor Castle and at Buckingham Palace.

To me that was God showing His respect for the Queen.

That's not evidence for a god. That's evidence for a flesh lump with an internet connection and low brain function eager to conflate natural weather occurrences with the supernatural.

When one’s on their death bed, they’ll cry to God because there is that momentary lapse where they think to themselves “what if I’m wrong”

So you are unable to see the signs when they are shown to you. I really hope that you are not a detective or judge in any way, shape or form as you would simply dismiss all types of evidence presented to you.

Maybe you should look for a profession in making beanbags for a living. That seems right up your alley.
