“Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven”

If you don’t want a Biblical answer, FROM God’s Living Word, the only authority and foundation we can rely on; then please don’t post questions or issues that demand a person of God to have to tell the TRUTH! For too, too long, Christians have been afraid that others won’t like them if they stand up firmly for the truth, and for too, too long they have tried to bully Christians with the comments that if you do speak the truth firmly, you are “harsh and unloving,” and a “loving” God wouldn’t and doesn’t look upon that as truth because God wouldn’t allow your FEELINGS to be hurt!

No, GOD instead, allowed His Son to come down to earth in the form of a man who in every way had to suffer the same temptations as each of us does and God who doesn’t want your “feelings” hurt, allowed His Son to voluntarily lay Himself down on a wooden cross, have metal stakes driven through His hands and feet and have His side pierced through with a spear until it reached His heart just so the very blood that was spilled would wash away not just the sins we commit, but the sinful nature that has held us as slaves!

He allowed Jesus’ feelings to be hurt in our stead so that His TRUTH and His TRUTH alone would stand the test of time, past, present, AND future! And because of that, there is no amount of wishing or no amount of denial that can erase the fact that Jesus’ way, and ONLY His way, will ever allow you a relationship to His Heavenly Father and thus into Heaven itself! He PAID for the TRUTH with His blood and only HIS blood can cleanse you from the deceit and lies of the enemy.

You can believe that God Almighty, the Creator that is keeping the Universe in balance makes mistakes at birth and that we are wiser than Him, but come Judgment Day, which there will be one whether you deny it or not, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus IS Lord of all and many will deny it until the very last step into His presence! (Romans 14:11).

Furthermore, on that day, Jesus Christ Who has been given authority to sentence us individually will, without consideration of your “feelings,” if you have rejected His WAY, His offer of and means of Redemption (Salvation) sadly turn to those who have rejected Him and dismiss them from His and the Father’s Light and fellowship!!!

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” — Matthew 7:21-23.

These are not my words; these were AND ARE the Words of Christ Jesus to His disciples while still here on earth! You can deny them all you want, but it doesn’t matter if you believe God is a loving God, or if His love understands your active sinfulness, the fact remains is there are going to be a lot who cry out Lord, Lord, but Jesus is going to say, “you used My name without my authority, why? Because I never had a relationship with you. I never knew you because you didn’t want a relationship with Me and what I say!!” If you call on the Lord, if you say you believe in God and that is enough, the ONLY way to call on God, THE FATHER, is by having a relationship with Christ Jesus WHO is ONE with the Father! Not my words again, His!!

I am on Facebook sometimes a lot, and sometimes weeks go by, but until the Lord calls me home I will NO LONGER cow down to people who are afraid of the truth found in the Living Word of God. If I am wrong, I will admit it, but I have had ALMOST 50 years of being in the Word, doing right and doing wrong but slowly moving away from the wrong and learning because of it. A relationship with the Heavenly Father, God Almighty, through and only through the Son, Jesus Christ, empowered and facilitated by the Holy Spirit can accomplish that in anyone’s life, but it has to be a life surrendered to Him once and for all.

No one is perfect, but a Christian lifestyle, WALKING with Christ, in fellowship with Him is continual practice, and when He returns for His disciples, we will be made perfect once and for all, but until then, it is only “practice, practice, practice that makes or leads to perfect!”
