When you reach those pearly gates what might save you?

Oh, now you're backing out because you're afraid the Big Guy heard you?

I'm still hearing that shoveling.

Besides, these days, nothing has any meaning. It means what one wants it to mean. After all, if in a world where it is said that men can have babies, what the hell is the meaning of the term "Man"?

See how simple it all works out?

There is no heaven. If there were, which there's not, I would definitely get in, just through my existence.

I’m not invested in alternative lives to this one. I think heaven is a party at which the guests and revelers are constantly coming and going. Entrance is conditional on your state of mind. It isn’t a party that starts after you’re dead. The dancing is only for the living. Hell is just exclusion from the party, always self-imposed.
 
At this stage of my life there probably ain't much I can do now to get on the big fellas good side to convince him to open the gate......I'm thinkin' my goose is pretty much already cooked.

No

It's just that He's already done it for me

No argument there
Your words are rather prophetic

Genesis 6:5, KJV: And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Matthew 24
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Heh, in this age of 'knowledge', we seem bent on disabling our ability to even communicate

Like the I'm a cat thing

Or..... 'it's my right to my opinion'


Example;

'Hey, while you're at the store, here's a couple bucks, get me a loaf of bread'
'OK'
(an hour later)
'Here's your loaf of bread'
'Uh, that's a package of baloney'
'Well, to me, it's a loaf of bread'

Pizza anyone?

I'd be straight forward with Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates, I'd say, "Well come on open up the gates and let me in. I've been a good girl , haven't I?"

Good deeds or bad deeds have no bearing on your admittance to heaven, to get in you must accept Jesus Christ as your savior. At least that's what my Cristian friends tell me.

I did much bad in my early life, and have spent the last forty years trying to make amends. Not because I expect to get into heaven, but because I am ashamed of the person I was.

I don't believe in heaven or hell as destinations after death, I believe they are metaphors for the way we live while our hearts are beating. Chose one or the other now because once your heart stops and your body decays you are nothing but a memory.

"I don't believe in heaven or hell as destinations after death, I believe they are metaphors for the way we live while our hearts are beating. Chose one or the other now because once your heart stops and your body decays you are nothing but a memory."

Exactly !
 
Why would anyone that has lived by "The Plan" that there is some place in the sky to go after death need to justify entrance?

Discovering God's Purpose for your Life
One of the biggest questions is not, What is my purpose for my life? but, What is God’s purpose for my life. Are you confident that you know and are fulfilling God’s purpose for your life? I trust you are, but not everyone is. In our chaotic and unsettling world, it is sometimes hard to understand how God’s purposes are being worked out in our lives. Whatever your case, in the midst of the confusion, fears, anxieties, and distractions of this present world, all of us can benefit from a firmer confidence that God is indeed working out His plans in our lives. <--------

I found the linked article to be very worthwhile and accurate. (y)
 
Well, as I read in a book "The 13th Valley" (Vietnam war soldiers experience) one man was saying "It won't be enough to enter heaven saying "I never killed a man" but it may be if you've saved a life"
 
If the Universe actually is just a decaying purr-fict hell at least your elemental parts are frozen solid. No pain and no gain, just no time passing either. So many Billions / Trillions of light year later (of course no one around to observe it) ya still got Frozen hanging around. Of course its Gods sense of humor. Who can doubt its all a big laugh! Maybe pray that you got enough sense to laugh with him the Father, Son and Holy Mother. Geesh Jokers all ! Thas a no brainer! Just enjoy the Purr-fick Hell!

There are those who have heard the gospel and simply refuse to accept it. That's their choice. What breaks my heart are those who, for whatever reason, have a never had the opportunity to learn the truth. I pray for those people.

Wow. I always mistakingly thought that those who haven't heard the gospel would not be accountable to God and given mercy but I decided to check it out before posting. You are right Tommy.

Romans 1:20 says that God has "clearly revealed himself with his eternal power and divine nature ever since the creation of the world in things He has made". So they have no excuse. So my heart breaks too for them. Life must seem useless and hard too handle alone apart from Him.
Thank you. I'm still learning.

I suppose all of us can think of some small deed we've done that has helped relieve another from whatever was troubling them, (maybe some will have a host of things to point to?).

I'd say the look of relief when I'd helped a child I know quite a bit about, is something I can say was a good deed done.

Maybe there are other things I've done, but its hard for me to say really.

What would you say you've done that might get you into heaven, (when balanced against whatever shortcoming you might feel you have, or failures to act when you should?)?

Sorry, we can’t work our way to heaven.
Ephesians 2: 8, 9. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Not having the opportunity to read the written word or hear the gospel isn't so detrimental, but 'the still small voice'
Quit listening to that
Your conscience becomes 'seared with a hot iron'
 
A daily non selfish prayer may help ya. Above all Bless Lil Tommy and Lil Sara my bestests.
Ever since Drawing on walls and Speach there have been prayers. Mostly for more
Beasts to eat most likely. Now one prays for the car to start, the plane not to crash
the Welfare monies to arrive.
 
For those wishing to leave this life and return to Eternity do it with grace and style. As the Temps continue to fall everything about the unbelievable huge universe that was full of / with energy will degrade to none movement. Cold will kill energy. Thus the purr-fict hell or more likely heaven will happen many uncountable years in the future, remember time and future will not exist with the loss of all energy. Space will simply be devoid of energy, time and matter. The Eternity will resemble a Snowflake or better yet a Snow Blizzard of frozen thoughts. Time can't exist, gravity can't exist, all normal thoughts about matter, sub mater, begging elementals of matter will be frozen in unexplainable threads of something that is neither existent or non existent. You know it will not matter if the above is true or false.

Save me from what? Going through the pearly gates? It seems the objective is to go through the pearly gates. What if I don't go through the pearly gates and something saved me before entering the pearly gate is that so bad? Perhaps we weren't supposed to enter the pearly gates at all, we were supposed stay outside?
 
Sometime in the Uncountable, Unbelievable, never a way to count, Future He's gonna get pissed off again and say Mother ****ers, let there be light! And we are all gonna do this hell again! ......:cool:
