There is some that KGB said I agree with, some that I think he’s way off on.
To say you have to keep the commandments to get to heaven is not correct. No one can keep all the commandments, we are too imperfect. Does that mean we shouldn’t try? No!!!
To get to heaven we have to do what John 3:16 says. Accept Jesus as savior, accept His death on the cross to pay for our sins.
That gets you to heaven.
But it also says to “store your treasures up in heaven”. What you do after you get saved will be showing God how you appreciate what He has done for us. We will get rewards for doing what He wants us to do when we get there, while some will get to heaven by the skin of our teeth.
Many professing to be “Christian” are not really Christians.
I believe the Bible cover to cover. To not believe that way, then how do you pick and choose what to accept and what not to accept? You can’t throw out God creating us in His image, without opening up also throwing out Christ and his payment for our sins on the cross.
That’s how I feel.
I KNOW I don’t “deserve” heaven, and no matter how good I am I can’t EARN heaven. I am a sinner and sin every day. Even just ONE sin would keep us from heaven without Jesus.
I don’t like “religion”, it is made up by man. If you put your faith in religion, you WILL be disappointed.
Put your faith in God. That’s the only TRUE way.
