Are you going to heaven? Thinking about this and after talking with some

that say they try to follow the 10 commandments, so they will go to heaven.
You are going to heaven if you obey God according to Bible:
John 3:1-5, Acts 2:1-4, 2:38-42
What people must do is repent, get baptized in Jesus name (Matthew
28:19, Acts 2:38), tarry (calling that sweet name Jesus) til they get
the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4) and stay steadfast in the APOSTOLES' doctrine
(Acts 2:42). Then yes, you can call heaven home.
Regarding the 10 commandments. Now we do 6 not 10. (Matthew 12:1-11,
John 5:9-18) Jesus broke the sabbath so we no longer honor the sabbath.
If Jesus broke it, why should we, followers of Jesus Christ honor it?
Afterall Jesus was our example. (Matthew 19:16-19) Count them it's only
six.
Hello,
Yes, the Bible says that righteous humans will go to Heaven. But it
also says that righteous humans live forever on this earth. For
example, Jesus talked about that class of people here at Mt 5:5,
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." (NIV)
If all the good people end up in Heaven, who is going to be around to
"inherit the earth"? Or as this servant of God was inspired to write
at Ps 37:29,
"For the good will inherit the earth, and upon it for ever will
dwell." (The Holy Bible in Modern English)
(by the way, Jesus never "broke" the Sabbath. He just observed it the
way is was supposed to be observed, not like the hypocritical
Pharisees)
Sincerely, James
