Going to Hell

This is going to be very short - on a topic that could be expounded upon for pages and pages.

There is a faction upon my Christian friends - who would say that the only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ. This is the doctrine.

Many of the same ones will say - not accepting Christ will send you to hell.

What happened to not making judgement? - upon another and, most importantly, upon yourself. Doctrine is very clear that man is not to judge. Yet, here we are talking about the final judgement.

Be very careful around people - who can't reconcile this properly.

The philosophy of Jesus Christ - is very simple. He breaks it down into the two most important commandments. You are to love Him and love your neighbor. There it is. People make it so complicated. It is not. Why do we have so many books on the subject?

The rest of the Bible - is a preamble. People pick and choose from the Old Testament. They will even justify because it is in the Bible.

Yet, at the end of the day, Christ summarizes everything - to two very simple rules.

Simple.....but the most difficult, if not impossible, - tasks to master. Sure, people will say they can fulfill number one. I'll give them that. Hey, who am I to judge?

But...you know that guy at the office? - or the lady across the street? The ones that you don't like.

Oooops! - I'm out.
