No, I'm dodging you, not your questions. Don't respond to any more of my posts. There's a darkness in your soul I want no part of.
Originally posted by @rajk999No, it’s common sense. Unless you define a good work as saving a family of five from a fire, I would say everyone who’s reached the age of a teenager has done something to help someone else.
Everyone has done at least one good work in their life ..
You got that somewhere in the Bible . ????..
Pure comedy.

If they don’t believe Jesus Christ was Resurrected from the dead and haven’t accepted Him into their heart, I would question to what degree they’re following Jesus.
Jesus's disciples and many to whom Jesus preached knew nothing of his resurrection
Did the thief on the cross [your favourtie bible hero] know?
Did any of these accept Jesus in his heart?
To accept Jesus in your heart = follow his commandments.
Thats all that means.

Those who are in Christ understand what good works are.
(Galatians 6:2)
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
(Matthew 22:37-40)

Only the righteous will enter the Kingdom of God Regardless of where a person was, or where he lived, or what time he lived in, this rule made by God & Jesus and repeated all over the Bible is unchangeable.
God HATES SINNERS / God LOVES THE RIGHTEOUS
Your church preaches that God loves sinners. But the truth is that God loves sinners who REPENT AND REFRAIN FROM SIN.
God sent his son Jesus to die so that people from Adam to the end of mankind can have an opportunity to enter this Kingdom which was prepared for the righteous. Jesus died so that people can start anew with a new life, and live a new life of righteousness, and only then can they enter this Kingdom.
Instead what has happened is that Christians have reached an all time low
- they are boasting of their sins and that they are filthy sinners
- they are proclaiming that they do not have to follow Christ's commandments
- they are boasting of their eternal life
- boasting that not even God can revoke this eternal life.
Disgraceful !
