If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Originally posted by Kevin McfarlandNo offense, but isn't it a rather silly question to begin with? Heaven is just some arbitrary construct employed to appease the ego and/or mask the absurd. Perhaps your question is along the lines of delineating what it takes to be a good person and to follow a 'path' of moral fortitude. That doesn't have any substantive connection with imaginary places about which some individuals think aloud.
This is not the kind of thred I wanted to start. I was thinking there are so many churches I am sure to get a lot of info on what it takes to go to heven. I thought there would be alot of responce from christians?

To all Christians How strait or narrow is the way. What dose it take to go to heven? Please leave chapter and verse for your anwser. Thanks.🙂
So I would say that Jesus is the only way.
John 6:28-29
28Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
So to do all the work that God requires is to believe in Jesus Christ.

works of charity, as per St James chapter 2, and St Matthew 25.
You always omit that fact, RB. Why is that?

And it is the good works that God has prepared for you to do in advance, the works that were layed out for you to do after you become a Christian.
Good works mean nothing until you accept Christ. And one of the Works that Jesus say to do is to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
