Who said anything about worship or die...I said that the sin will kill
them, or if you are looking at the water story, the water will. You don't
think you should have to worship the creator of the universe who holds
everything together by the power of His Word, don't. God desires His
own to worship Him in spirit and truth. You do not want anything to
d ...[text shortened]... nd do as you will. Sin kills, and
if you are sinless, you have nothing to worry about.

So "every man" doesn't mean "every man"? Where are the limiting phrases?
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
(emphasis added)
One group, whose names are not found in the Book of Life, are judged by the deeds found in the books.

take it up. (No insults intended to little girls) You can look at it anyway
you want, you may drink poison with the antidote next to you, rejecting
the antidote doesn't kill you the poison does. You don't need saved
because you are a righteous man, you do because of sin in your life.
You want to reject the only one that deals with sin, reject Him. You
think your wisdom is above it all, fine by me, live in it and go where
it takes you.
