Christians, how does one get to heaven?

Question

By faith. If you have true faith then works should take care of themselves. This is an age old point on Christianity that the family guy makes fun of in the video below. Faith is not as simple as saying a prayer and you're good now. No! It's supposed to change you. You're supposed to want to live your life for God from then on. But faith does not come to everyone easily. Faith is one of the hardest things to have. And faith is NOT a constant. It's very easy to have faith in good times. It's not as easy to have faith in lean times. This is when your faith is tested. God promises he'll get you through. He never promised it would be easy.

So I say faith. Because if you have faith it's not because you have some great knowledge that a non Christian does not. I tell this to atheists all the time. Faith simply means I trust God is a loving God and his Word is good.

this poll is shocking, it seems like the bible has contradictions... but...

if "a contradiction can't be from god" which 2 are false? hence the poll, which to accept, but which 2 are not from god?

some clues to solv the puzzle: in Matthew jesus was speaking, he often said parable so in parable as a symbol so no coflict.

the reason in ephesians, is clarification of mathew mesage, is not for heaven just for importance.

logic deductive, james must be heresy? but why included?

why nobody noticed? they DID... noticed.

James was labeled "disputed" from ancient tims n luther excluded james like other catholic parts!

this christian tradition and ephesians match jeremia 31, fulfilled that prophecy!

You can't, it's impossible don't even try. Throughout history people have dedicated their entire lives to God through constant prayer and deed, do you really think they'd bother if all it took was half an hour at church on a Sunday?

Truth is no matter how hard you try, one little slip up and it's straight to Hell. It's like diving, you can do your best but you will occasionally go 1mph over the limit. Now imagine driving your entire life with a vindictive cop behind you, that's what religion is.

That prawn sandwich, a sin. Not burning a dove on your period, a sin. That pen you forget to return, a sin. And no, God won't forgive you.

This is hell. So I think we all missed the boat already.

It did change me, but it took many years and a crapload of doubting, and that’s not to say I’ve reached some sort of apex; that just doesn’t happen. I had to give up trying to run my own life because there’s no way I could be prepared for anything. I’m not totally comfortable with that but it’s not like I can do any better.

Speaking of the book of James, a visitor to my Christian fellowship group at my high school (this was VERY early on for me) said that after reading it he couldn’t touch his bible for a month. I suppose at least one major contributor to the bible had to end up with a reputation for being an ass.

By Believing that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from your sins and that we shall not perish, but have everlasting life, and you must accept him as your personal Lord and Savior
