We got to talking this afternoon, about going to Heaven, and how to “be good”. Actually there is an equation for believing in God. I have drawn it out above on my iPad. Have a look and see if it is logical. More later..
So I will explain: good goes to heaven / evil goes to hell - what is heaven and hell? Are the gates narrow or wide? Questions that have no proof of answer since Adam and Eve sinned and Eden was sealed off. All we know is good and evil are opposites since A&E ate the fateful apple. All we know is we cannot return to paradise since a flaming sword guards the gate. These truths have been seared into every heart. We cannot know God and Heaven or Hell, only experience all 3 as consequences of conscience (good vs. evil with a coefficient of futile human effort). We therefore “believe”. It is all we can do.
So believe in a Messiah, then -it’s even easier: Jesus will save you! Does that cheapen God towards one’s self righteousness? Maybe. Then at least call upon his “name”, believe in his supernatural works. Believe because the knowledge is THERE if a bit destroyed by man’s evil and his alien enemies. Believe because we don’t hold all the cards and the rules are hazy -there are more cards to come and one day the clouds will part. So believe.
