Yes, there could be a million*million different ways to get it wrong, the
only times we know we got it right is if it happened billions or millions
of years ago. 🙂

You are not as exclusive as you would like to be. God has made provisions for all people as he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for all of mankind. You are a typical selfish arrogant Pharisee type Christian.
Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Just two simple words Rajk. Unto and upon. Christ died for all, so that the righteousness of God is available to all, i.e. UNTO, but there is a provision for actually having God's righteousness UPON one! Belief.
If one doesn't believe one doesn't have God's righteousness, which is the requirement for admission into God's presences.

Good one Rajk! Yep. That's what I am.[/b]
So the Bible [Romans 3] as you quoted, speaks of Christians believing in Christ and that makes them acceptable. I agree with that.
The same Bible [Romans 2] speaks of those Gentiles without law, being a law unto themselves and doing by nature those things acceptable to God. These would also be favourably judged. The reason for this is given by the Apostle Paul; that it is the doers that are justified and not just the hearers... DOERS.
I accept both statements by Paul. Both good Christians and good people in general will find favour with God on the day of judgement.
