Further to my sans religion friends-- I am very willing to reason and discuss with you without cutting and pasting scripture, if you do not believe in it. I only know this #44031 does and therefore I can discuss with him in that manner.

#44031-- Can you give me a pretend name to call you if we contnue to dicourse? The number thing is so cold sounding as I approach reason with you with a heart of love. Anyway, #44031, as you may remember, you and I don't see eye to eye on certain subjects,and in seeing we are in a DEBATE forum, that is expected. But I must ask you this. What did Jesus Christ say it took to be 'saved' I.E. enter 'paradise'?
ONE thing brother. Believe that Jesus was/is who he says he was/is. I am not going to give all the references for this, because they are too numerous. If you must have them, however, I will detail them elsewhere.
That's it.
In keeping with that reality, anything else the person believes affects only the rewards he recieves in heaven. I will give you these scriptures, only because I know you will require them (and rightly so).
Mt 5:3-12;10:15;
LK 6:20-26;12:47,48;
ACTS 10:4,31;
ROM. 2:1-16;14:10-23;
1 COR 3:13,4:5;
2 COR 5:10;
1 JN 4:17;
REV 20:11-15

Subsequently however, if you do believe Jesus and what he said about himself, your fruits should be that of his 2 Greatest Commandments ( you want those references, again, I'll give them, elsewhere.) Roughly--Love God with everythng you are and everything you do, and love your neighbor the same way.

Chaz is your neighbor, 44031. Do you know if he is your brother in Christ? Not that it is anyone elses business where he stands and what he thinks of Christ's teachings. Unless he has told you from his mouth he abhors Christ and what he stands for, you are not permitted to judge where he will spend eternity. You simply cannot make that decision based on anything but a man's heart. And who knows a man's heart but himself and God?

However we are given strict admonition that if anyone does cliam Christ and carries out the opposite of his 2 greatest commands, strict judgment for him will ensue, and possibly the outer darkness. So #44031, please choose wisely whom you judge is entering the kingdom, for if you read Matthew 25:31-46 (one of many parables Jesus speaks on this topic), you will see there that Christ lets those in who do not expect it and refuses those who did expect to and did not heed his 2 commands.
Be very careful.

What say you #44031?
