Have you even considered that this ITSELF was punishment enough in God's eyes to forgive that man of the temporal debt that he owed God?

What do you or I owe God? Jesus has done everything that needs to be done for me. No one else can do a thing. I lay my life and my sins on Jesus who has promised to forgive them and grant to me eternal life in heaven. Simple? Yes. However, there are many who would like to complicate the matter and cause many to worry about whether they are good enough to be saved. What a shame and a lie.

I owe God my all. I don't know about you, but I owe God praise and honor, love and obedience. If I offend Him, I owe Him my sorrow and contrition.

I lay my life and my sins on Jesus who has promised to forgive them and grant to me eternal life in heaven. Simple? Yes

So the heart and soul of Christianity is to "merely" lay everything on Christ. We are NOT to pick up our cross daily? We are not to obey the King, the ruler of our lives? We are not to love others? We are not to ask forgiveness when we fall? We are not to give our lives totally to God? Hmmm. Yea, I guess your way is pretty simple. However, Christ said to avoid the wide path, and take the narrow way.

Thanks for your advice, but I'll stick to the way of the Cross.

Two men die - one lived a saintly life, the other a sinful life but repents on his death bed. Do both go immediately to heaven?

So what happens if you're an unrepentant sinner while believing in Jesus? Let's just say you're a compulsive gambler or an adulterer. Do you go to Heaven same as someone who believes in Jesus and stays on the straight and narrow?
