<2021-12-18T20:49:59.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: hey, wanna talk about the bible?
<2021-12-18T20:51:02.000Z> LordMordred: i haven't finished it like you have 
<2021-12-18T20:53:23.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: You don't need to finish the bible to talk about it. I had to believe in it before reading it seriously 
<2021-12-18T20:54:14.000Z> LordMordred: I believe in it just like I believe in God 
<2021-12-18T20:55:43.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: That's great. Based on what you know of it, what do you think you have to do to go to heaven?
<2021-12-18T20:59:24.000Z> LordMordred: Believing in God living a good life being baptisized 
<2021-12-18T21:07:14.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: Let me fix that for you; Believing in God, that's the only thing you would have to do to get into heaven according to the bible. Romans 3:28“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”It would be impossible to "live a good life" because of that God only requires faith of you to save you from your sins. 
<2021-12-19T00:06:33.000Z> LordMordred: Idk man I think I have a good life I'm not out screwing dirty whores, snorting coke, having a crippling addiction to heroin, or locked up in prison getting assraped 
<2021-12-19T02:31:12.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: Not fornicating (or commiting adultery) and staying sober is not enough to be labeled as a good life. James 2:10“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”By commiting any one sin you've already become a sinner just as the people who screw around with whorse and those who do drugs are sinners. If you want to live a good life you'd have to be sinless Matthew 5:48“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
<2021-12-19T02:41:56.000Z> LordMordred: That's not possible you and I both know that 
<2021-12-19T16:50:20.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: Exactly, that's why the Lord Jesus said Mark 10:18“And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.”Living a "good life" is impossible because you would have to be perfect and sinless to live a good life in the sight of God. The bible also goes on to say this Galatians 2:21“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”If it was possible for people to do the commandments of the bible and go to heaven then the death of the Lord Jesus on the cross was in vain. 
<2021-12-19T16:54:16.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: When you say Believing in God + living a good life + being baptisized would get you into heaven. you are adding unto the message of salvation that the bible brings. Acts 1630And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.All you got to do to go to heaven is believe on the Lord Jesus man, and when you think that you have to do anything more besides that to get into heaven it shows that you don't really trust fully on the Lord. 
<2021-12-19T16:56:45.000Z> John_the_Baptist@kiwifarms.cc: Galatians 5:4“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”If you think that faith + works of the law will justify you before God you're doomed my friend. You are either justified by faith (through the work of the Lord Jesus) or justified by works (through your own works of following the law)
