logically if there is no crime worthy of eternal punishment, then there is no act worthy of eternal life. It is a gift. Both are gifts. We accept which one we want. Evidence. I heard someone say, prove it does not exist. Evil or good. The Saturday before Palm Sunday I decided to read about where Jesus was before He entered the city of Jerusalem.

In Luke the last parable He told was about the talents. The last part of the parable jumped out at me. He said, “But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.”

All they did “wrong” was not want to be ruled over. They wanted their freedom, I suppose.

Very true, however an "act" isn't the proposition. Getting into heaven in Christian theology is based on one single thought you have at the moment of the your death. Your entire life is essentially irrelevant; it's what you think and if you accept the Christian story that matters. If you do, great; if you don't, you're fried.

Silliness if you ask me.

Can't argue with that. The whole idea is inherently authoritarian.
