I’m not a cunt, I’m a decent enough person, even tho I dont believe in Heaven or Hell, I still try to live my life so that I wont go to hell, but if I go to hell because I’ve had pre marital sex imma be pissed. I almost died in a house fire because I ran in many times to try and save people (thankfully none was inside)
Sin is sin, friend, no matter the magnitude, any sin is a separation between us and God. We can (and should!) try as hard as we can to be good, but we're only human and inevitably even the best of us fuck up.
None of us can earn access to Heaven, but you don't need to, that access is a gift that's freely offered to you. All you need to do to start is to accept that gift.
My question is if one can get into heaven by being a good person but still dont follow the rules to 100%? It’s not like sex outside marriage is harming between two consentual adults
I’m Catholic. The Church teaches it is indeed possible to make it to heaven in circumstances similar to what you’ve described (and damn good job btw). But I’ll tell you that the concern you’re feeling is most likely God telling you it’s time to have faith in Him.
But again i don’t want you to think I’m shoving this down your throat.
Sorry to burst your bubble. If you actually ready the Bible, you wouldn't think that. Sorry buddy, no matter how good you are, you'll never be good enough.
nah man its all good, Im the one asking. I just want to know the rules, some say Ill go to hell no matter what I do as long as I dont belive in God, some say I’ll go to hell due to sleeping around
You ever read (or hear of) the Screwtape Letters C.S. Lewis? The "You're a good person" is one of the 3 most poisonous lies that one can tell someone if you are trying to get them into Hell. If you have read them, correct me if I'm wrong, but the 3 lies are 1) Tell them there is no God (e.g. Teaching evolution), 2) Tell them they have plenty of time left (the Bible teaches that tomorrow is not guaranteed), and 3) Tell them they are a good person (so they think God will let them into heaven because they are good or due to their good deeds; the Bible teaches that no one enters into Heaven except through Jesus).
I’m just comparing my actions to other peoples actions and try look objectively on them, and to me I seem like a good person (well compared to all the shit ones atleast), but I always think to myself I need to get better, no one is at their 100% power level, you can always improve
No, trying to have a conversation on the topic. Me repenting has no use since I dont have any regrets about sleeping with people outside marriage, it makes no sense to me that it should be forbidden if it’s between two consenting adults
Imma be pretty pissed if I go to the same place as Clinton just because I had sex with a lot of women without being married to them
Repent and ask for forgiveness. Accept the gift of salvation that Jesus is willing to give you.
Oh jeez.
No. Jeez is a friend from middle school. ;)
Repent. Go to church. Learn how to be virtuous. Find tendencies towards selfishness and try to change them into charitable tendencies.
There’s my evangelism speech. Carry on broski

Or not believe in it in the first place. Anyway, go Trump.

Sure you can do anything as a Christian, just accept Jesus and hand over $20 bucks! Amirite? Yea!

C.S. Lewis. Which book is his in the Bible?
You’re making excuses and rationalizing repent and be forgiven.

That'll end as soon as they start parading the women you slept with outside marriage and letting them ask 'Why did you do this to me?'
they did it to me as much as I did it to them, so who’s to say I’m not gonna me the one who’s paraded
Good point.....do we take turns with the parading and frowning?
I think I’d be getting quite some high-fives
What the fuck?
