heres how i see it, dont critisice me if you dont like my views, or my beliefs, i dont critisise yours do i? stare
for starters, being good wont get you to heaven
Romans ch 3
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
James ch 2
10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
there for we all have sinned (done wrong things, bad things, whatever)
so, even the littelist thing will keep us out of heaven, even if its just a lie or something
romans ch 6
23For the wages of sin is death...
basically life in hell, vs life in heaven ~ spiritual death i supose ninja
so, now your prolly thinking "like wtf ryan so your saying im goint to hell, well F*** u"
well, dont get so ahead of yoruself, im not quite finished k wink
anyhow, if you wanna find out how to get to the big guy's place (heaven), scroll down,
I must warn you thou, its pretty complex eek
are you sure you can handle the secret of getting to the high in the sky
with god himself?
ok, ill tell you then,
all you have to do, is believe that jesus died for your sins, making you anew in gods eyes,
MORE VERSES yay rolleyes (if i dont include verses people think im full o crap er something idk) xp
anyhow, as promised rolleyes
romans ch 6
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life inChrist Jesus our Lord.
so, yea, thats the whole thing, if you believe that jesus died for your sins~ you get into heaven, no strings attached 3nodding
but your like," yea, sure, but um yea, ive sinned a lot, like ive done some things that umm, well yea >_>, nuff said"
look heres the deal, we've al sinned, (like the verse above says)
so it doesnt matter if your mostly good, or if your a hooker by night, srsly
actually heres one from john that deals with a prostitute
John ch 8
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
all our sins are the same in gods eyes
but i know your thiking " like whatever ryan, srsly, ive done some pretty bad things and i dont think that jsut by believing ill get into heaven, like idk, my sin is just that bad neutral "
still dont believe me?
ok, hows this one
ok, so if you wanna read the whole hting its part of luke ch 23 (go to www.biblegateway.com ~ google it if this doesnt work)
anyhow, jesus is siezed by the gov and sentenced to death, put onto a cross and paraded through the streets like an animal crowned with thorns, whiped yada yada yada... (if you dont want to read this thing check out the passion of christ [its a recent film (havent seen it thou~just an fyi)] )
Luke ch 23
32Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."[e] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
35The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."
36The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."
38There was a written notice above him, which read neutral sc THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
40But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[f]"
43Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
ok, so basically jesus was on the cross, two hardened criminals were with them (prolly for murder, er whatever) ~the cross was usualy a death penalty reserved for the bad criminals ninja
while he was there, those criminals next to him saw him died and believed that he did, thus making it into heaven 3nodding
so, even if you have many great sins and maybe youve killed someone its never to late to repent and take jesus into ur heart and believe that he has saved you from your sins, setting you free from judgement 3nodding
umm, anyhow, you can always pm me if this is confuzing to you at all, or you dont understand anyhting,( I'm in no way a guru of the bible), but i can prolly lead you to the truth of things if you need help ninja
also, i plan to do daily verse things or weekly things, so stop by and see if ive added anyhting,
and finally, comment so i know you read this, or pm me or something, even if you dont adgree id be nice to see fi all this typing was a waste fo time or not sweatdrop
just a few facts for for you religion newbs 3nodding
the bible is split into two portions, the new testiment and the old, the old is kind of a history of the world, and is before christ
the new is letters and christ's story through his folowers, (more of a how to guide for life)
also, the old testement is used in all three major world religions, not just christianity, it is also believed to be true by muslums, and jews, not just christians ninja
