How would you say one gets to heaven? I am especially interested in your response if you have an unchurched background. Thanks.
Get to west virginia and look around because you’re pretty closeHow would you say one gets to heaven? I am especially interested in your response if you have an unchurched background. Thanks.
Thanks for your response. Would you mind if I quoted you? Just a heads up though. It's something I would disagree with.I am going to assume this is a legitimate question. This is coming from someone with a somewhat church upbringing but a moralistic approach to religion rather than a worship based approach
Being a moral person who does the right thing for your loved ones and people you don’t know. This includes helping the homeless, people in need, caring about others as much as you care about yourself. Accept people for who they are instead of judging them (think lgbt/mental health) Leave the world better than you found it
I am saved through the blood of Jesus ChristHow would you say one gets to heaven? I am especially interested in your response if you have an unchurched background. Thanks.
Sure. Do you mind PM why you disagree. I am genuinely curiousThanks for your response. Would you mind if I quoted you? Just a heads up though. It's something I would disagree with.
These actions would be the fruit of your salvation/faith received through the grace of Jesus’s blood.I am going to assume this is a legitimate question. This is coming from someone with a somewhat church upbringing but a moralistic approach to religion rather than a worship based approach

Or if you don’t believe in any of it, there’s not anywhere to “get” — this is as good as it gets. You die and same thing happens to you that happens to all other animalsWhat are your thoughts on the dozen other religions and why they are wrong and Christianity is correct. Can you not get to heaven thru Buddha or Mohamed?
the bible states he who endures to the end will be saved.I am saved through the blood of Jesus Christ

Majority are going to say "being a good person" or "earn it". There's only one way. Better tell your flock to "church" them.How would you say one gets to heaven? I am especially interested in your response if you have an unchurched background. Thanks.
You're almost there. Once in West Virginia, you must locate a certain stairway... I believe it's going to be near a tree by the brook with a songbird who sings or behind a bustling hedgerow.Get to west virginia and look around because you’re pretty close
In his defense, it sounds like he's here looking for heathens.Start by sitting under a pastor who does not get his sermon prep from a sports message board.
Just be the best person you can possibly be. Do good things for people whenever you can and in general just be a good person. Do we all make mistakes? Of course. Do we all sin? Everyday. We are not perfect but I just want to leave this earth knowing I did everything I could to leave this place better than when it was when I got here.How would you say one gets to heaven?

That's right. Anyone who studies the bible will come to the same exact conclusion as you and everyone else***M R Dawg is the only one who got it right. If everyone will study their bible as we are commanded to, they too will agree.
I'm not being a smart aleck. I have a great respect for those like you (and a couple of my relatives) who've heard and answered the call to try and lead. I'm glad you came back and qualified the reason for your question. I've checked out several religions and even in very similar denominations you'd get a straighter answer asking for the steps to making a good chili. Most might all follow the same pattern but they would extensively vary on the ingredients needed. It's crazy but I'm sure you know that.Thanks for your input. The sermon was from Galatians and how we are Christians by faith alone apart from good works (Ephesians 2:8-9) and how to witness to people about that. This forum is the closest thing I get to being around non-Chrsitians, which is really sad. I especially appreciate topbulldawg, but others who answered as well. I just didn't have time to ask permission to use other's quotes.
All of that is good but being a good person alone won’t get you into heaven.Just be the best person you can possibly be.

Importantly, did I get the proper citation to the congregation. "Topbulldawg" a 15 year veteren on Sixpackspeak posted at 12:20 this morning....Thanks for your input.

Only the sith deal in absolutes.M R Dawg is the only one who got it right. If everyone will study their bible as we are commanded to, they too will agree.
