Jesus said
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:47-50 KJV)
Jesus had a gift, the ability to simplify a matter. This gift can be seen all throughout his teachings.
Man has a curse and this curse can be seen throughout the writings of people on this forum... people like sonship, SecondSon, Kelly Jay, and all the others. They can take a doctrine which Jesus took the trouble to state simply, and restate it in such a complex manner that it becomes unintelligible.
The kingdom of Heaven draws in all kinds of people, but there are only two types that God identifies and it is not Christians v NonChristians, it is not Faithful and Unfaithful, it is not Believers and Unbelievers.
The two types are Good and Bad. Other parables and stories identifies them as Sheep and Goats or Wheat and Tares, or Those who follow the Commandments and Those who Do not Follow the Commandments.
One group gets eternal life, the other group is destroyed. Simple. Nowhere did Jesus preach that Christians get to enter the Kingdom of Heaven in stages, or get a second chance and other such fabrications. Fools listen to such nonsense church doctrines. The wise man listens to Jesus Christ.

Originally posted by @rajk999Ignorant. Here is where the Bible says to Christians that Christ is the Shepherd and Overseer of our SOULS. So of course He cares that His salvation would effect our SOULS.

God wants righteous people in His Kingdom.
First Peter 2:25
"For you were like sheep being led astray, but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
If you still old Jehovah's Witness teaching materials and manuals you should burn them. I think demons are hovering around them. See Acts 19:19.
You need to be released.

Not this time, asking for myself.

People will be judged based on whether their ways were wicked or righteous?
‘The way of the Lord is not just.’

A good Christian needs to follow Jesus.
Not the likes of you and Witness Lee, preachers of false doctrines.
Originally posted by @sonshipHere is what is bunk. Jesus and all the Apostles state clearly that evil Christians will be destroyed. You say they will enter the Kingdom in stages ... STAGES. They will enter. Jesus say they will be cast out.
If debunked, go start a new thread. That's the story of your Forum life here.
You are the bunk-head that swallows these false doctrines promoted by false teachers.
