Once again I will repeat myself.
Going to Heaven shouldn't be our main goal, our main goal in life should be loving Lord and our neighbor.

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
(NIV Mt.22:36)

Our gold should be set on THE GREATEST commandment.

Going to Heaven is secondary.

On top of that Heaven is not a physical space that anybody can come in or leave, it's not a bar.

Heaven is the state of being, Heaven is the state of LOVE, the state of Loving the Lord and neighbors.

40 On these two commandments all the Law and the Prophets hang.
(LITV Mt.22:40)
there would be no reason to do those things if you were not going to heaven, not that those things make you get into heaven because they don't

Lots of people in the bible believed in Jesus. They got circumcised and their intentions were good. They wanted them to be part of Gods people. But according to Paul they fell from grace for all of that. I guess being deceived / liar / what have you is not really different to God anywho.

What passage in Galatians are you referring to?

That's not a good attitude to have about love. You should want to love people regardless if there is a reward or not. What you're talking about isn't real love, and has a lot to say about the real state of where your heart is. I lose a lot of respect towards Christians when I hear things like this.

Oh man you guys, I missed another greatnews thread? I need to come around here more often.

So, bring me up to speed. I read through the first ten pages, but all that told me is that MehGuy is awesome, which I already knew.

Don't you dare compliment Mehguy. That is my job... Mehguy is the best [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] I know (I only know one [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]) so I will reword it. He is the best atheist I know (I know tons of those).

love does not reward you to get into heaven that's the problem, we love people because of our new nature, but we are not doing it to get into heaven, that's what I am saying

IF ONLY HEAVEN WAS NEAR!!!!!!!!

It is more near than you think

It is within you.

Bible > Luke > Chapter 17 > Verse 21

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
