Paradise

@rajk999 said
I always find it interesting when someone ask about eternal life, paradise in this case, the typical Christian responds with Jesus dying, Jesus being righteous, self-condemnation, and focusing on sins. Jesus on the other hand preached something completely different. In Jesus's very first major preaching event, the Sermon on the Mount to thousands of people when like this
...[text shortened]... ith in Him.

Are those who heard this sermon, but did not hear the Christian doctrine doomed? [/b]

Deceiver, why do you speak about text?

Who enters paradise
- those who obey what Jesus said to do in Matt 5, Or
- those who follow the Christian doctrine you laid out ?

Why do you use Biblical text?

I suspect that Jesus preached elsewhere in that 18 yr period not mentioned in the bible so Jesus had followers wherever he went.

And did those feet in ancient times walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God on England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills?

Some say he went to India and was influenced by Buddhist doctrine…….

And still others question whether he admits paedophile rapists, but refuses pious Buddhists et al. This stinks of the medieval practice of buying indulgences: live a life of utter evil, and, if you repent (obviously with great insincerity) then everything will be fine in the afterlife.

If George Best had played in a World Cup, you might have looked upon him differently.
