ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. REALIZE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER AND IN NEED OF A SAVIOR:
Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.
2. BECAUSE OF OUR SINS, WE DIE BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY, BUT GOD SENT HIS SON TO TAKE OUR PUNISHMENT AND GIVE US A CHANCE NOT TO HAVE TO GO TO HELL.
Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Ro 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.
3. IF WE WILL ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD WITH OUR MOUTHS AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEARTS THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD, BY DOING THIS WE ARE RECEIVING HIM:
Ro 10:9,10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
(KJV)
You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus and asking Him to forgive you for your sins and save you. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.
Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR YOUR SINS? DO YOU ACCEPT WHAT HE DID FOR YOU TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS?
4. If you are willing to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please pray this right now, from your heart to God,
"Dear LORD JESUS, I believe that YOU died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, take me to heaven when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus holy name, Amen."
If you prayed that prayer from your heart to God, and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.
Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.
Copy and paste screed? If so, it's really not very nice, or honest, to copy someone else's work and present it without attribution. Not very Christian, one might say.
Am I 100% sure that if I died today that I'd go to heaven?? Of course not.
I'm not even 100% sure if I left my house to drive to the 7-11 that I'd get there.
No one can be 100% sure about the future, much less heaven or hell.
Personally, I don't believe in either place. I believe in ashes to ashes and dust to dust and that the end is just that, the END.
Take I75 South for about 567 miles. Turn right and travel east for approximatly 97 miles (give or take a few, Heaven is a tricky place to find). When you get to the fork in the road, turn right again and drive until you see an old man and a dog sitting by the side of the road. Stop and ask that man for directions. From there, you will find Heaven.

Damn! I always make a LEFT at the fork in the road!
Temptation is that way. :wink:
Well, doc says Aug 4th but I am telling you, this baby ain't waiting til then.
I suspect I will be having a July baby.
As long as she waits until 36 weeks, I am totally ok with that.
As for feeling ok....the last couple days have been rough. I've REALLY felt pregnant. I started a thread on it (I am a walking disaster). I was having contractions and feeling really crappy the other day. The contractions have slowed but I still feel crappy.
My mom said she felt sick and crappy right before going into labor with me so....perhaps this baby isn't even waiting til July.
That's the thing that weirds me out....not having ANY idea of when I will go into labor. Like we need the extra little surprise, right?
Either way I am SO DONE being pregnant. I was having weird pains last night in my nether regions so I suspect she may have dropped and flipped. Which means nothing really, except that she has. LOL
Who wants to go to heaven?
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
No, i'd rather have you cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brains in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can have
Both of my ears
If they don't mind the size . . .

I so appreciate good and delightfully bad, company.
Twain also wrote something about harp music all the time. Only if it's jazz harp.
Horray! More christian nutter newbies! They are so good for a giggle.
What is sad is that this character "frodo" has been asking this same question, and posting the same drivel for years-

blah blah blah... snipped this post short for sanity.
He STILL doesnt have an answer.
So im thinking he must be doing something in his life that makes him feel so bad that he has to seek out a god to make him feel better.
maybe he is a porn addict who, after a few months of "addiction" clings to a bible and 'washes away his sins'
Or, he is just ..... eh....... boring......
When you get to the fork in the road, take it.

You aren't a sinner happycat?
Well that's too bad.
I think using all caps definitely disqualifies you for heaven.
