Paradise

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

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

Deceiver, why do you speak about text?

I am happy God has made a way sinners can be saved in the righteousness of God, which is by the blood of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.

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?

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.
