Jesus said, "only those who do the will of my father will enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 7:21). Will you answer the calling?

I'm a blasphemious queer Atheist who is not afraid to sin but at the same time I help my friends, homeless people and others who need help and I try to be a good person according to my moral frame.
Where will I end up? 😌

You don’t have to be a Christian to do good things for people. That is not why we should do good things. If the only reason one does good things is the fear of not getting into heaven, then you have to question how good one is on the first place.

I was not aware that every moment of my waking life I was being tested by my Lord. He Seems much sweeter than this, less harsh.
I was not aware that every decision I make would determine if Im going to heaven or not. Should I have the toast and bananas or the monte Cristo sandwich when I go out later. Which one will get me into heaven?

I do agree that not everyone will go to heaven. Some people just plain don’t want to. Many have no idea who Jesus is and sees God as a tyrant rather than a loving, generous father.

You can’t get into heaven when the most important person in your life is yourself.

The less fortunate should be considered and thought about all year long. Christmas is a shoddy excuse to do good and tell everyone about it while one pats themselves on the back. that pat on your back will be your reward. Besides, anyone can do good things. Thats not what ‘gets you into heaven’. You need to find the Will of the father and live that.

So what is the Will of the father, what does God ask of us? It sounds like a simple enough question, but when you ask there are so many varied answers. The will of God is often used as a scapegoat of those who consider themselves above everyone else in the church, because, how do you argue with that? There is a pride that can sneak into a christians life that will kill all the good he believes he is doing by seeking his own glory.

There are , of course, requirements. To be just, to be merciful and to walk with god in humility. We are asked over and over again to follow the commandments of the Lord. To seek him continuously. Our relationship with God is not merely obedience, it’s a relationship. The church, those who do the will of the Lord, is his bride. What does a good, perfect, Holy Man want of his bride? That is who you should be.

Eternity with God is reserved for those who are forgiven...

Eternity in the lake of fire is reserved for those who are unforgiven...

And yes caring and helping children and the homeless does earn one rewards in eternity.. But caring for Children and the homeless does not buy one a ticket into eternity with God..

What's the meaning of [b]The Kingdom[/b] in Bible context.


The scripture above leads me to believe there's a difference between [b]"The Kingdom[/b] and [b]"Heaven"[/b] as it says we're already in the Kingdom though the blood of Jesus.

I agree we should do good, but good works won't get us into heaven, salvation is a gift which has to be accepted.

How do you explain Revelation 22:15 (CEV) = "15 But outside the city will be dogs, witches, immoral people, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who loves to tell lies and do wrong."

How the F#ck is Matt?

My moral framework is to do enough good so as to try to leave the world a little better off than how I entered it. I do not believe in a god, and my afterlife are the ripples of my actions echoing through the world after my departure. I want those ripples to do good even though I'll not be around to know it.

If there is a god and that isn't good enough for them, then they aren't worth my worship anyways. 🤷‍♂️
