Human Transition towards Eternity (Heaven or Hell)

We will likely enter God's End Times process, on or about Sept. 17-28, 2020.  

I launched this Blog in Oct. 2017 to share my discoveries about End Times.  I have been consciously preparing for this event horizon for almost 5 years.  I'm a late comer when compared to many others.  I now see that the Holy Spirit likely started to nudge me, prepare me, and help direct me to this path since 1980, or maybe longer.  I am nothing more than another one of God's "nobodies", nothing special here, whom God has chosen, for unknown reasons, to help fulfill His will.  

As all Christians should be, I try to be meek and humble, for I have sinned greatly throughout my life, and I desperately need a Saviour.  Thank-you God for sending Jesus as our Saviour.

The following chart describes, to the best of my current knowledge, how any and all humans will transition from this life to our future eternal lives, either in Heaven or Hell.

Nobody will be left behind.  Everybody will have eternal life, which begins in 7 years or so from now.  Unfortunately, some will have an eternal life in Hell; for the vast majority of all humans. 

I am working toward ensuring I have a guaranteed reservation in Heaven.

Heaven is open to virtually everybody.  It is a sad realization that the majority (through neglect, or defiance, or procrastination, or sinful lusts, or many other terrible reasons) will end up in Hell.  All humans will eventually end up in either Heaven or Hell, whether they believe in God, or not.  There is no opting out by anybody

Some may be upset by those groups I have listed in the "Other" category for the following chart.  Neither this Blog posting, nor this chart are hate, nor fear mongering, nor discrimination, nor bigotry, nor any other evil;  for it is God's Truth, the only truth in a sea of lies.  If this critically important info was foolishly and callously withheld, all affected persons are in increased danger of eternal damnation; not a small thing.  Loving all persons, I have a duty to warn.  God has commanded all Christians to go into the world and preach the Gospel.  The Bible tells us that fear of God, and fear of the wrath of God, is the beginning of wisdom.

In a famous Canadian court case, the Toronto Police were found to have withheld critical information, and failed to adequately warn the women who were in particular danger from the Balcony Rapist.  One woman who was raped sued the Police, and the Court awarded her $220,000 because the Police failed to adequately warn, and the woman's Constitutional right to security of person was violated by the Police's negligent inaction (see Jane Doe vs. Metropolitan Toronto Police Commission here:   https://www.leaf.ca/jane-doe-v-metropolitan-toronto-commissioners-of-police/

By publishing this, I hope to adequately warn everybody, fulfilling my duty to God and my fellow humans.

There are many "good" people in all categories shown in this chart.  However, good is the enemy of perfect.  Good people can transition to God's standard of perfection for Heaven if they so choose.  If someone is currently parked in the "Other" category because of their parents, or the town they grew up in, or their friends & family, or the convenience that it was the closest and easiest access near their home or work, all this can be easily changed.  It isn't a mistake or coincidence that Revelation 18:4 says:

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

I have heard about the possibility of Pentecost 2, or the Latter Day Rain, when God may release a huge anointing of the Holy Spirit unto those who have adequately prepared themselves to be Overcomers during End Times.

Based on Julie Whedbee's most recent prophecy from Jesus Christ ( https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2020/08/keys-to-transformation.html  ), it seems that the Holy Spirit won't be suddenly dumped on top of somebody's head like a bucket of oil, then "Poof", they are an Overcomer.

I'm not sure I understand, but I weakly sense that becoming an Overcomer will be like losing a baby tooth and gaining an adult tooth.  The old baby tooth (ie. this sinful world) slowly becomes more & more loose and wobbly in your body/life.  Your tongue plays with it more & more.  You grab it with your fingers every once in a while to wiggle it back & forth.  Eventually, the baby tooth suddenly pops out one day (ie. you are fully separated from Satan's Sinful World).  Then the adult tooth soon begins to sprout up through the gum.  You grow into your new role as Overcomer, ready for Holy Exploits and Heaven.

If you don't do the daily (or minute by minute) work of an "Overcomer In Training" through:

• Disengagement from this sinful world; and
  

  Studying God's Word; and

  Praying continuously for repentance, enlightenment, strength, etc.
  

then your baby tooth stays tightly in place, and your adult tooth stays dormant, never to emerge above the gum line.  Therefore I assume you will not graduate into becoming a full and true Overcomer sealed and anointed by God.

 

Those at Greatest Risk of Hell

It seems to me that Apostates are at greatest risk of any group, as they assume they are eternally safe, and only find out that they are to be sent to Hell just before they are thrown into the Lake of Fire to burn for ever and ever.

To protect my own best interests, I am carefully studying the Bible's definition of apostates, relying neither on myself nor any other human for their guesses and platitudes (from Satan or otherwise), relying only on God's Word in the King James Bible.

Apostasy means "falling away".  That would be when someone thinks (or pretends or hopes) they are  True Christian, but that belief slowly deflates more and more over time, or suddenly bursts like a bubble, and they admit they no longer belief in Jesus Christ the same way as before.

Satan cannot snatch a True Christian from the hands of Jesus.  Some believe a True Christian cannot jump out of the hand of Jesus and into Satan's lap, even if they wanted to do so.  However, there are thousands, if not millions of "false conversions", those who think they are a Born Again True Christian guaranteed a seat in Heaven, but really aren't.  They are Apostates, or hypocrites, or "wolves in sheep's clothing" to whom Jesus will say (as prophesied in Matthew 7:21-27 and Luke 13:22-28):

I never knew you, depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity
[ie. into the Lake of Fire they go]

I have found an excellent reference source for guiding my self-analysis against the risk of apostasy.  I recommend you do likewise as soon as possible:   What is Apostasy?   https://thirdmill.org/answers/answer.asp/file/47930

I want no person to go to Hell, and work each day to share the Gospel with as many as I can, but if someone is a cavalier, loud & proud Atheist, do they get what they deserve when they're thrown into Hell?  The Bible says that God is just, and that this fate for Atheists (and similar) is what God intends to do, so that ultimate justice for all who reject or attempt to corrupt Christ is good enough for me.

 

Procrastination Vs. God's Deadline

Jesus Christ allows everybody to grow at their own pace.

God will not force Himself upon anybody.

While God is patient (waiting almost 6,000 years & counting), He will not wait forever.

If somebody dies in their unrepentant sins, their time of opportunity has ended, and their fate is sealed.

Unfortunately, some will choose not to grow at all, and others will choose to grow so slowly that little progress will have been achieved before the 2nd Coming of Christ.  In both these cases, these people will have guaranteed reservations in Hell.

 

Salvation is Still Available

 As mentioned in the diagram, help is instantly available through Jesus Christ.  For detailed instructions on what to do, see our document:   God's 26 Commandments for Christians which is available here:   https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

 

Love Vs. Iniquity

This Blog Posting is Part 2, an expansion of Part 1: Exactly How Do You Love Jesus?

The Bible tells us that Apostle John loved Jesus in the "agapao" way.

"Agapao" is the Greek word (Strong's G25) for a Holy kind of eternal, all consuming type of love.

 Luke 10:27, Mark 12:30, John 13:34, and Mat 22:37 tells us to love God in an "agapao" way.

 In John 14:15, John records Jesus saying "If ye love me, keep my commandments". This again is the "agapao" type of love.

In  1 John 2:15-17 we are told not to love the world nor the things therein with an "agapao" type of love. The world is temporary, full of pride and lust.  Even though God created the world, the world is not God, for God is permanent.  We must love the Creator and our fellow humans, not the rest of creation.  Agapao love of the rest of the created world is idolatry.

In the OT, Deut 6:4-5 and Levit 19:17-18 tells us to love God and neighbours in a Hebrew "ahab", Strong's H157 manner, similar to Strong's G25 "agapao" type of love.

Apostle Peter could never bring himself to "agapao" type of love for Jesus, as Peter was stuck at the "fileo" level of friendship, not deep abiding love that Jesus gave, and wanted in return (see John 21:7-18). No wonder Peter denied Jesus 3 times a short time later.

"Agapao" type of love is what the Bible says and means when "a man knows a woman" and they become one flesh. God's love for us is "agapao" love.

 For more understanding of "agapao" love, see C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves (Agapao) https://youtu.be/gaVaGGpeQKM

Is there a danger or consequence to a shallow love of Jesus, just the friendship level, the "fileo" level?

 In Mat 7:21-23 the people cried 'Lord, Lord', and claimed to have prophesized, cast out devils, & done many wonderful works. But Jesus said "I never knew you: depart from me, you workers of iniquity".

"Depart from me" means these workers of iniquity must leave Heaven, and get thrown into Hell.

 In Mat 13:41-42, at the 2nd Coming of Jesus, Jesus sends His angels to gather up all those doing iniquity, casting them into a furnace of fire, to their wailing and nashing of teeth.

 Iniquity is deadly.

For all those misleading Pastors who teach a simple A-B-C, magical prayer as being 100% sufficient for salvation, they need to reform their incorrect teachings, and tell everybody that they have previously misled.

 When "agapao" love is missing, iniquity reigns.

Iniquity is defined as pre-planned, purposeful sin. KJV uses 6 different words for iniquity: H205, H5766, H5771, H5999 G93, and G458.

Mat 25:12 tells us the parable of the Five Foolish Virgins, not adequately prepared, not watching, arriving after the door was shut, saying "Lord, Lord, open to us". The Master said "I know you not".

Again, a shallow relationship (ie. anything but deep "agapao" type of love, so the groom doesn't know the foolish virgins in a deep "agapao" kind of way). 

I suggest that a half-baked kind of love leads to a half-baked type of preparations for the groom's arrival.

Today  the church is Jesus' bride, who must watch and prepare herself and be continuously ready for His arrival.

What should a wedding groom think & feel when his bride has 1,001 priorities which are wrongly judged more important than getting ready for the wedding ceremony?

 The logical corollary to John 14:15 is that those who fail to follow Jesus' commandments (10 in OT, 16 more in NT, 26 commandments in total, see "God's 26 Commandments for Christians", pdf document here: https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/p/documents.html ) are hypocrites; they pretend to deeply love Jesus, but fall short of true, deep, "agapao" type of love of Christ.

They pretend, but truly only love Jesus half heartedly, merely for show, or virtue signaling, or political correctness, or to extract maximum benefit with minimal effort, or to manipulate others, or band wagon jumping, or to avoid personal shame.

 Is this similar to the Pharisees that upset Jesus so much, with their "holier than thou" attitude, and their lack of "agapao" love for both man and God?

 In Luke 6:46, Jesus complained "And why call ye me, 'Lord, Lord', and do not the things which I say?" Those "things which I say" are Jesus' teachings, mainly His commandments.

 There is a huge difference between iniquity (ie. pre-meditated, purposeful sin &/or living in chronic ongoing sin) vs. accidental sin.

 Accidental sin will likely continue as long as you have a flesh body.

 Iniquity however, can be eliminated if you are truly saved, are Born Again, have the help of the Holy Spirit, and have a deep "agapao" type of love for Jesus Christ.

 False conversions (ie. those who pretend but are not True Christians), will continue with both iniquity and accidental sins in their lives. They may think they are destined for Heaven, but they will be thrown into Hell to be tormented and burned forever when their shallow, half hearted love and their ongoing iniquity is exposed. They will likely be the weepers in Hell.

 Here are some more verses that warn against iniquity: Ex. 20:5, 34:7; Job 4:8, 13:26, 34:32; Psalm 5:5, 6:8, 25:11, 32:2, 36:2, 51:5, 103:3; Prov. 22:8; Is. 53:5; Hab. 1:13; Ez. 3:18, 18:26; Mat 7:21-23, 13:41-42, 24:12, 25:1-13, 25:31-45; Luke 6:46, 13:25-27; John 14:15; Acts 1:18, 8:23; 2 Tim 2:19; Rom 6:19; 2 Thes 2:7; James 3:6; and Rev 14:9-20.

 Hosea 4:6 describes how Israel was destroyed by chronic sin. In Romans 1:21-28 people knew God but vanity and arrogance caused them not to worship God, but worship themselves, so they continued to sin, and God allowed them to continue in their sins & reprobate minds.

 Sin, especially chronic sin (ie. Iniquity) brings sickness. See: Ezek 4:17; Ps. 38:3, 107:17; Hosea 7:1; Zeph. 1:17; John 9:2; Micah 6:13; James 5:14-15; and 1Corith. 11:27-30.

If anybody doubts the deadliness of iniquity, or believes God's Commandments are "soooo Old Testament", and not applicable to those claiming salvation under Jesus Christ; that mere belief in Jesus is enough for Heavenly salvation,  then these deceived (&/or Deceivers) should be able to fully explain away all of these troublesome verses shown here.

You're Likely Going To Hell, Part 2

Yesterday, I gave the 8 classes of salvation status for people; some go to Heaven, the majority who go to Hell.  Today, let's look at the Biblical proofs of which way you are going.

In the Bible, Jesus often spoke in parables.  The parables of the thief, and the different types of servants are most relevant to your salvation class status, of what soon comes.  In Jesus' parable, he doesn't describe His special case, nor babies who die before their age of responsibility, so that leaves 6 classes remaining.  Two classes we previously described could be easily combined together into 3 variations on one generic class, so our previous theoretical treatment in 8 classes can be mapped to the 4 cases in Jesus' more simple parable.  Let's take a look.

Luke 12:39-48 provides Jesus' teaching.

35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

In Verses 42-44, Jesus describes those True Christians who are totally involved in God's work, just as John the Baptist prepared the way for the first coming of Jesus Christ.  These servants have given up all worldly benefits so that they can focus on saving souls.  This is equivalent to Case #4
These people are the crown jewells of Jesus' church, so they will receive one of the highest crown, and help Jesus rule His kingdom.

In Verses 45-46, we have the bad servant who abuses the other servants and sins greatly while the Lord is away.  When the Lord returns at an unexpected time, and catches the evil servant in his evil acts, the Lord will kill the evil servant, and throw his body into the outer darkness.  This is obviously those who are going to Hell.  They will be going through the tribulation, as well as the Great Tribulation once Jesus returns, then ends up in God's winepress of wrath, then thrown into Hell to burn and be tormented forever; the full treatment, the worst punishment God hands out.  This compares to Cases #7 (no defiled DNA, no Mark of the Beast) or Case #8 (defiled DNA, or you took Mark of the Beast, or worshiped the Beast).

In Verse 47, we have the servant who was not prepared, and did not do as his Lord had commanded.  At least he is not sinning in a gross manner.  This servant receives a heavy beating upon the Lord's return.  This is equivalent to those who are not Rapture Ready, and therefore are not Raptured, and must suffer through the persecution of the AntiChrist, the plagues, earthquakes, and other tribulations of End Times.  This is equivalent to Cases #5 (you are persecuted and beheaded by AntiChrist as a martyr of Christ), or to Case #6 (escape from AntiChrist persecution & beheading, but must survive on your own as a fugitive through the persecution by the AntiChrist so as to capture you, plus the plagues and other tribulations imposed by God).

In Verse 48, we have the clueless person who has sinned.  It is unclear if they are clueless Christians, or clueless pagans.  It appears that these people will receive a milder form of tribulation (either from the AntiChrist &/or God's tribulation).  This likely means they ascend to Heaven at the 2nd Coming of Christ (either dead or alive), and miss the Great Tribulation.  This is comparable to Case #3, or Case #5 or Case #6.

Mat 16:19 and Isaiah 22:22 give similar allowances for receiving the keys of the kingdom as here in Luke.

You are Likely Going to Hell

Satan-inspired Preachers are misleading millions of luke-warm Christians about the danger of iniquity.  In this Blog posting, I will tell you about Bob, someone who is currently on the path towards Hell, but he doesn't know that.  It's a surprise.  Hopefully Bob turns that situation around before he dies.

Are you a luke-warm Christian who practices 1 or more sins, vices, pleasures, secret indulgences, or other taboo subjects?  Whatever the sin may be (there's lots to choose from), you have reserved seating in Hell for burning and torment forever.

Based on a recent survey, about 95.5% of people in N. America are not Rapture Ready.  If they died today, they would die in their sins, then go to Hell for eternal burning and torment.  Today, there is approximately 2 people dying every second somewhere on the planet, 150,000 dead every day.  You could be next.

Your trip to Hell is guaranteed if you live in iniquity, even if you feel you're a good person, attend church, assume you are "Born Again", receive private revelations from God, or otherwise.

The Friendly Drunk

To make the point, let's take a hypothetical example.

Bob is very drunk on one or more occassions at least weekly.  Bob is a happy drunk.  Bob has church friends and drinking friends, so these two world can co-exist nicely as they rarely interfere with each other.  Bob sobers up most Sundays, and will usually attend church, even if he has a bad hangover.  Bob fully participates in the activities of the church, and is generous in the collection plate, but not so generous that it cuts into his drinking money.  None of Bob's church friends have said anything to Bob about his excessive drinking, and most don't even know about it.  Bob has been arrested twice for drinking & driving, and the next time he's caught, the Judge told him he will be going to jail for a long time.

Bob came to Jesus many decades ago.  His church had declared at that time that Bob is a "Born Again Christian".  Bob likes it that the Pastor says "Once Saved, Always Saved".  Bob likes it that he isn't bothered by anybody about his chosen lifestyle, his drinking, and the partying & fooling around that sometimes accompanies his drinking. Bob occassionally prays in church on Sunday.  Bob thinks these prayers are a good idea, just in case. As these behaviours have been going on for more than 20 years, it is a well established habit, unlikely to change unless a critical event occur.

Bob thinks he is going to heaven when he dies.  Bob enjoys this life, and thinks he will enjoy heaven too.  Bob likes Bob's Rules, and is glad that his church, his Pastor, and God don't bother Bob about his lifestyle.

God knows everything about Bob; his drinking, his other sinful behaviours, his bad thoughts, his lusting and coveting.  God also knows His Word, and His careful work to reveal His Word to His prophets, and maintain it safe all these years.

God knows that Bob has ignored God's Word.  Bob has constructed a false god in his alcohol soaked mind, a god that readily accepts Bob's drinking and other sins.  Bob's god is a false god; blasphamy to the one true God.  Bob is in big trouble for making a false god, and worshiping Bob's false god.  God sees a disconnect between Bob's behaviour and God's Word.  Galations 5:21 clearly says that drunkedness is a sin, and prohibits drunks from entering heaven.

God is also angered by the Pastor's careless statements and misguided assurances to his congregration, leading all of them into chronic sin.

God knows that Bob doesn't pray continuously like God instructed him to do in 1 Thessalonian 5:16.  Unfortunnately for Bob, his chronic sin have built a wall between Bob and God.  God can no longer hear Bob's prayers, starting a long time ago.  Only if Bob stops sinning, confesses his sins, asks for God's forgiveness, turns away from his sin and turn towards God; only then will God be able to hear Bob's prayers again.

Jesus Christ loves Bob.  Jesus knows and is sad that Bob doesn't love Jesus.  Bob treats Jesus like a distant acquaintance.  Jesus knows Bob lives in iniquity.  Jesus is sad about the 1-way love, but He is determined to be just with Bob during Bob's trial before the Great White Throne.  Jesus knows that Bob will be found guilty of iniquity.  As punishment for Bob's iniquity, Bob will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be burned and tormented for ever & ever.

17 Deadly Sins of Iniquity

According to the Bible, continuing to practice one or more of these 17 Deadly Sins on a chronic, premeditated basis will guarantee that you are going to Hell’s Lake of Fire for torment forever & ever.   The 17 Deadly Sins are described in 1 John 3:15:   hatred towards God or other humans is equivalent to murder;   Galatians 5:19  adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness;    Galatians 5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresy;   Galatians 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.

What's The Solution?

Before Bob dies, Bob has to abandon his life of sin, and the false god in Bob's imagination.

If Bob suddenly realizes he is in desparate peril, Bob can choose to learn God's 26 Commandments for Christians.  After reading these Laws, Bob can swallow hard, and steel himself to leave all his sins behind.  Bob should confess his sins to God, repent his sins, ask for God's forgioveness, turn away from his sins and turn towards God.  As soon as Bob does all that, the wall of sin that Bob constructed will be immediately demolished.  God can now hear Bob's prayers.  Bob can pray continuously, ask for the Holy Spirit to fill Bob's soul, so as to comfort Bob, protect Bob, and help him from sinning again.  Bob can pray continuously with results, for prayer will change Bob so that he understands, thinks, feels, and acts more and more like the Bible says all humans should be.

Bob is now a True Born Again Christian, and a Child of God.

Bob is Rapture Ready.

---> Go To Part 2:  Proof by 4 Biblical  Cases for Heaven or Hell

True Christian or Nominal Christian? Choose Wisely

Most Christians believe they are guaranteed a spot in Heaven.  Yet the Bible tells us there will be many who assume they will go to Heaven.  However, Jesus says that only a few will go to Heaven, and most people will be kicked out as obnoxious party crashers.

If you are kicked out of Heaven, there is only one other place to go; the Lake of Fire in Hell where your soul will be punished forever and ever.

For example, in Luke 13:22-28, the Bible tells us about Jesus doing his ministry:

"And He [Jesus Christ] went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto Him, 'Lord, are there few that be saved?' And He said unto them, 'Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open unto us'; and he shall answer and say unto you, 'I know you not whence ye are':  Then shall ye begin to say, 'We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets'. But he shall say, 'I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity [iniquity is chronic, premeditated sin]'. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."

So why do so many assume they should be let into God's House (ie. Heaven for Everlasting Life), but only a few will be allowed to enter and be saved from the Lake of Fire, and its everlasting torment?

I suggest the reason is that many or most are Nominal Christians, and are not True Christians.  True Christians are those who:

• Believe in Jesus Christ;
• Follow God's Will (ie. His Commandments) on a consistent basis; and
• Practice all the teachings of Jesus Christ on a consistent basis.

If all you give is a few dollars and lip service to being a Christian, you should wake up, smell the coffee, and realize you are fooling yourself and possibly a few humans who don't know you well.  Anybody who knows you well, and certainly God and Jesus will know well and good that you are a hypocrite, a phony, a Nominal Christian.

To help you understand this better, here is a flowchart (ir more correctly known as a Concept Map), showing how God, Jesus, and Humans are inter-connected, and the only path to Heaven.

Between now and Dec. 10, 2018 I believe Jesus will take the next step in His End Times process.  I am not sure what that next step will be.  Thousands or millions may die in WW III, or the Rapture will occur, or something else.  If you aren't a True Christian today, and don't become one between now and Dec. 10th, it will likely be too late for you; earning you a 1-way ticket to Hell.

God's 19 Commandments for Christians

*** Updated 2019-5-5 ***

I propose the following as the 20 Commandments for Christians.

The Bible is full of great ideas and suggestions for a better, more effective, and happier life.

To me, Christianity is all about getting to everlasting life with Jesus Christ in Heaven.  Everything else on this planet is of secondary importance, or of no importance.

However, I was interested in boiling it down to the Biblical essentials; what MUST be done to be assured of getting into Heaven.  All of the "nice to do" can be stripped away.

Here is what I came up with.

I have discovered that God's Laws for Christians are similar, but significantly different from the Jewish Law (commandments, statutes, laws, and ordinances; a total of 613 items, more or less).

Some so-called "experts" suggest that Christians only have to believe in Jesus, nothing else, and you get a pass to Heaven.  Can someone merely believe in Jesus, then safely murder and/or create no end to mayhem, and still get into Heaven?  I doubt this is what God intended.  Paul says those who commit the 17 Deadly Sins will not be going to Heaven, especially those who chronically live in them.  Note that Jesus clearly said, on numerous occasions, all who say "Lord, Lord" (see Matthew 7:21) , or are poorly prepared foolish virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13), or depend on good works alone aren't getting into Heaven.

I would like to get your comments and suggestions on this.  Am I misguided to take this approach?  Have I missed something from my list?  Have I included something that is not a mandatory inclusion?
