"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like o
ther men-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a
week and give a tenth of all I get.'

"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but
beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will
be exalted."

Neal, I commend to your reading Luke 18:10-14. It's short.

Somehow I don't think that's a criteria for gaining Heaven....

You'll go straight to Heaven for no other reason than putting Gaynz in his
place.
God bless you.

I don't know about you, but I know that I have to struggle every day to
try
to be a good person. In no way do I think anything is a sure thing...I'm
probably destined to a bazillion years in Purgatory before I find out...

I do not believe in unconditional salvation just because of a belief
in
Christ as Savior. I believe that everyday actions and your treatment
of
mankind and the world as a whole are the determinants for entry into
Heaven,
along with faith in God. I believe the road to Hell is paved with
good
intentions and that many out there count their lives as good whereas
their
own personal actions don't lay testimony to goodness. I believe none
of
us
can be sure of where we're going until we stand before God to be
judged.
All
we can do is try to be the best we can.

The good Mr. Bob Crantz is a highly intelligent man who makes
a lot of sense.

He certainly makes good points about much of the behavior one
sees these days that is immoral and will definitely result in those
embracing it going for an eternal swim in the lava lakes.

Katy, however, you are saved because as a Catholic woman you
have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior and that He is for
certain.

Life is worth living here on this Earth with it's strife and
peril because good Christian people can look forward to meeting
in Heaven where they can bask in each other's company and in
God's light for all eternity.

Surely Bob Crantz will be there among us.

Praise be the Glory.

Duh! I just did.

Amen!

That's the problem! They're praying in a Temple! You come down here to the
Baptist Church and pray, you'll get a front row seat to heaven! Amen!

What's the difference between Rochester NY and Hell besides the
temperature this time of year?

You don't even know if and when you are awake.
