Well at least you have all the atheists to back you up on your doctrine so hopefully that makes you sleep at night.
Seems like you have Sonship, Kelly Jay and other mouth worshipper who condemn righteousness and good works.

Whereas you have misguided Christians to cover your back?

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeAGAIN, that verse doesn't mean what you think it means, which is what a hypocrite has told you it means.
The righteous will be saved.
No way this excludes my elderly (atheist) neighbour who has spent her entire life caring for others and adheres to God's law, written on her heart.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeAll it takes is one sin to condemn one to he'll. Is your neighbor perfect?

As for who enters heaven or hell, do you get a vote?
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeYou also think I'm mistaken in my interpretation that God exists, so there's that.
I approach scripture with my own mind. You are mistaken in your interpretation of the specified text.
Even if the passage meant what you think it means, did you miss the part that says that NO ONE is "good enough" to gain salvation on their own merit? Even your elderly neighbor.

Did Elijah not get to heaven as a result of his own merit, from fulfilling his Earthly purpose?
"As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. (2 Kings 2:11).
