How to get to heaven - bible talk

[jennifer_bloom]

Years ago a pastor who did not agree with my theology tried to have me kicked out of church

The next day when I realized steps were being taken to have me removed from the church I had. Dream

In my dream the church that had discussed getting kicked out hears God scream in their ear

”What you did not do for the least of these brothers you did not do for me”

And they were horrified and cast into everlasting fire to be tortured forever and ever

So what this quotation of Jesus means is

1. Care for the needs of your neighbour both biological and emotional and social and material

2. Regardless of their religion

3. Regardless of their virtue

4. Regardless of their status

5. Regardless of their power

6. Regardless of their income

7. Regardless of their background

8. Regardless of their industry

9. Regardless of their culture

10. Regardless of their knowledge

11. Regardless of their health

12. Regardless of their charm or attractiveness

Than you can go to heaven

You were betrayed by people who claim even preach to be accepting of all people, this undoubtedly had a large impact on you. I don't know if that's an actual bible quote but it makes sense to me. "What you do not do for the least of your brother you did not do for me" i. e. when you're not taking into account all people even those at the bottom than you are no longer serving God as he accepts all beings. Unfortunately sometimes the people who are most versed are the ones who have the most work to do.

I think caring for your neighbor is a key but getting to heaven also involves Loving God and choosing to beileve him and follow him.

My life's goal is always to love my neighbor. But at my heart I try as best as I can to fix my eyes on Jesus

[Jjpayne]

Thank you for the mho 😊

[lightbulb27]

I think that's about right.

The whole issue in humanity is we are divided.. from God and each other by our emotions... our egos... fear, malice, greed, etc.. that's genesis 2-3 . Express love to others and that IS Heaven... here now.

I think there is some conscious management involved in this... like you do this too much and people are dependent on your power not their own. Jesus always puts it back onto the other person "it is YOUR FAITH" that has healed you... not his... not Gods.

God being love... its' a balancing act and to me coms back to... God is in effect, universal energy which we experience as love.

[CaptainLonleyPants]

Jesus said you will know my followers by their actions they will

1. Feed the hungry

2. Clothe the poor

3. Care for the elderly disabled and infirm

4. Heal the sick

5. Love each other and spread Gods love

6. Not judge for only God can judge

7. Welcome the foreigners as native born as you were foreigners in Egypt

8. Care for the Earth and tend it as would a garden (on which your life depends)

For some reason people think they can follow without following. I do not understand that.

[Gedaria]

Good thinking.
But you should read the whole Bible not just bit that you like the sound of.
Most people do not go to heaven.
Most people can resite the Lord's pray.
The part , thy kindom come on earth and in Heaven.
Why have a heavenly government on earth if everyone is in heaven.
Also in Revelation it says There I'll on be 144000 that go to heaven to rule with Jesus for a 1000 years.
That is where the resereretion comes in Jesus taught about..

[legalboxers]

you are supposed to be holy.. they say he helps you, he is there for you. He crated you in his image. If this is so, why are we of different colors, and JUDGE EACH OTHER BASED ON COLOR SEX AND OTHER ORIENTATION. And to take it further.. Why are there Christians, Roman Catholic, Lutherans, Evangelical, Episcopal, if there is ONE GOD and ONE BIBLE. ONE TEACHING. 13 Apostles (including Judas)...

[Anonymous]

That's NOT what the bible teaches! The Bible is VERY CLEAR on the subject of salvation! Those that acknowledge that they are a dinner, in need of a Savior. And confess, believe and accept that Jesus Christ and He ALONE is the Son of the Living God! That died on the cross for all mankind!

[DaModernDaVinci]

I’m pretty sure that this site nor the app will not let us edit any comments/opinions so be sure to read “dinner” as “sinner”. And this certainly is the way. John 3:16

[genericname85]

according to some christian i talked to recently, going to hell is up to you. god doesn't decide it. if you don't wanna go to hell, you don't have to. all you need to do is say sorry for the evil you did and you'll go to heaven.

[19magic]

You probably have to mean it as well though

[genericname85]

@19magic yeah well i don't think anyone would be dumb enough not to "mean it", if they go to hell otherwise.

[19magic]

Not unless what was considered evil by others isn't evil in your eyes then you wouldn't think you need to apologise for what you've done

[genericname85]

@19magic so you're saying, it's reasonable to assume that someone rather goes to hell than just admitting they were wrong?

[19magic]

I'm just saying it's a possibility that can happen especially with bad bad people like murderers, pedofiles etc saying its what they enjoy why is it wrong, do you hold yourself back from carnal (I'm a bad speller 😅) pleasures

[genericname85]

@19magic i think the problem is that people always assume they are "so much different" than murderers. in fact it doesn't take very much to make a murderer out of a normal person.

[19magic]

It's what I said before could I kill someone sure, if they were threatening me or my own then yeah, if in defence of my country and ultimately my family again I would. But would I be okay with it afterwards, would I be ridden with guilt, dreaming of seeing the life leave his or her eyes as they slump to the floor, I will always hold myself accountable and welcome pain as the mental pain I inflict upon myself pales in comparison.

But I was initially on about thoses who think murder is an art form that when they were kids murdered animals, love to hear the screams while torturing victims like that side of things

[genericname85]

@19magic yeah and you can bet your ass that a person you are describing is gonna be sorry, facing HELL xD they're not stupid.

[Larson7]

Just say it but dont stop?

[Larson7]

What you said 19 Magic. If its according to how each individual sees it

[genericname85]

@Larson7 If it's according to how each individual sees It anyway, then God is a joke and hell easily avoidable xD

[Larson7]

That would probably work out better for me. But I don't really believe that I believe there is a hell. I just can feel but it's real it makes me really nervous. If I don't change anyway. Plant be crazy if we feel sorry for the people that end up going to prison her life or whatever but they find God and and I'm going to heaven in the people who are on the outside but I kept away from the things that call stomach of a took out a hell. And it would be worth it to have and in prison. Some people just end up there inevitably for some reason that's eventually where they belong. I think that I might be one of those people I try to accept it you know I haven't even had to do jail time yet. I I hate it and I have no one to blame but myself. I was going to go to jail today oh, I said I should be there right now I talked my way out of it I think. I was happy earlier my sister came to me and basically sent me to my room. Nobody's happy because I didn't have to go to jail. Bulshit and it's not fair.

[Erobos412]

Hmm probably by the means of Socrates and Plato teachings that are found in the gospel of John and Luke in their version and story of Jesus.

[Larson7]

What about the worst of people? Can they be allowed in if they accept Jesus. But dont totally quit their evil

[jennifer_bloom]

I didn’t mention accepting Jesus at all in my post - I said compassion to needy people gets you into heaven

[Larson7]

So what happens to pedophiles who do not act but think about it?

[CrazyRay43]

You mean the “worst of people” and “pedophiles” that God created?

Grow up, child 🙄

[_Just_A_girl_]

No. To get to heaven is to believe in what happened on the cross what he did for the world. That it is a gift God's grace.

[Larson7]

That sounds a lot better everybody can get in.

[Water_killer]

Pray your prayers on time, it's going to lead you to heaven. Just do only this then make whatever your mind tells you to do but nothing impossible or extravagant or something from the grave.

[zagor]

Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to die

[CrazyRay43]

There is no god, therefore no Heaven

[Larson7]

How about you haven't really even looked into it therefore you're full of shit therefore I'm not going to believe you when I spent my whole life learning about it therefore shut the fuck up and stop trying to act like you're smart. hurt people's Faith because you're just a little worm therefore that

[CrazyRay43]

>implying that wasting your entire life on something makes something not full of shit 🤣🤣🤣

[Larson7]

Do you have anything like research to back up that confident assuredness?

[syskerully]

Heaven doesn't exist.

[Larson7]

Stfu. Why should I believe you? You don't want to believe and you haven't even done the research. I've read books on that stuff my whole life and I've seen strong reasons to believe it. So why am I going to take your point of view over mine? And your three word answer. That's right I'm not

[CrazyRay43]

Larson is a funny child, he actually thinks that his baseless belief makes something true 🤣🤣🤣

[syskerully]

@Larson7 Research? Really? That's fucking hilarious. I'm not here to disprove god to you, plenty of people have already done that. I'm just stating the facts. If OP says it's important to be a good person then I agree... but you shouldn't be doing it with the idea that heaven exists and you can get into it. The reward for being kind is accrued by the future, even if the doer is not in it.

[michael1469]

If you are hungry, you will find a job...

[CaptainLonleyPants]

That's what Jesus said every time he encountered groups of starving people? Get a job you freeloaders?

[michael1469]

I didn't wait for jesus. I got a job so i could eat.

[CaptainLonleyPants]

Thank you. Avoiding answering the question proves me right.

[michael1469]

Why work if you are gonna freeload? Sorry, but my work ethic says I will achieve my goals, even if its hunger.

[michael1469]

And i answered. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime.

[CaptainLonleyPants]

So Jesus is wrong to help needy people? God is wrong to help needy people? Do you not understand poverty? Disability? Old age? If you lose your ability to work or your loved ones do and they no longer able to provide for themselves should you and or your loved ones die? Are you saying God and Jesus are wrong when they tell you the most important thing in existence is every living thing and that must be protected?

[CaptainLonleyPants]

If you lose an arm and both legs in an accident and you can't provide for yourself and no one has your back then its ok to toss you in a dumpster to slowly and painfully die because you don't want to be freeloader?

[michael1469]

Its called determination. Buddy, i was poor, give up for adoption at the age of 5. I grew up determined no to be poor, hungry and homeless. Fast forward, i am not poor, i am not hungry, and own 2 home and four businesses. I know spend my time teaching other how to become self employed for they can eat a fish they caught. 2 of my closest friends are self employed and couldnt be happier.

by the way, have you seen what people with disabilities can do? Stevie Wonder did pretty good for himself didn't he, joe biden over came his stuttering to become president... they did not accept things, they can and did overcome to achieve to make a difference in life.

Your life is a result of your choices. If you dont like your life, make better choices.

And then one day like magic. He meet the only man opessing him... in the mirror.

[michael1469]

It all comes down to you.

[CaptainLonleyPants]

Good luck on judgement day. Smh

[michael1469]

Dude, i have no problem helping the poor. But i have problem with the poor who dont help themselves. I have help employees out with money who are fully capable of paying me back who dont. Who always screw up and make an excuse of why they can't.

We all have disabilities in one form or another. The difference is do you work to better yourself or just accept mediocrity.

[collie22]

Love jesus
