On the contrary, God reaches you. well what ur saying depends on the type of christianity but regardless it's wrong as you are required to have faith in god to go to heaven. therefore if you call yourself a christian but do not have faith in god, and you die, you will not gain acceptance into heaven and you also defined religion incorrectly | ||

If your beliefs don't line up with Christian ones, you go to hell. The same with many religions. The major religions are not about searching for truth; if they were, you wouldn't see so much conflict, hatred, and persecution. They are only about the mass spreading of an absolute, arbitrary "truth." | ||

Are you the son of your parents if you follow a set of rules? No, you are a son by blood, thats it. If anyone tells you that you need to follow rules to get to heaven, THAT my friend is a "religion" and that is wrong. Mark 3:29 - But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin. This isn't a rule? What if right now i say i reject Jesus and accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as my God, i still go to heaven just because i want to? | ||
