Is being a good person, accepting Jesus as one's savior good enough for God on judgement day? Jo3:16

Whoever says he is a good person is lying so, no!

False Jesus is being preached all over. The Whole God is love lie.

God is about righteousness and justice.

Jesus preached more about Hell than he did about heaven.

Broad is the path that leads to perdition.

Narrow is the way to life and FEW will find it.

So why did Jesus make the entire sermon on the mount about being good to eachother and feeding the hungry and clothing the naked etc...if it was all a waste of time to do so?

Was he just mouthing off and filling in time or something?

Doing good and BEING good are 2 different things.

If you were GOOD, than you wouldn't need Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.

So why then the huge fanous sermon on the mount about DOING GOOD then?

Just filling in time?

Jesus preached about hell.... scripture?

That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned Ro5:12

Typically, when they mention the end of an age it means the end of the age of the Church. The Church came into fruition on Pentecost which is when the Holy Spirit entered the disciples after Jesus's Ascension. The whole Church Age is considered Dispensationalism. The end of the Church Age follows after the Age of Laodicea (Lukewarm Church). Some say it ends in the Rapture of the Church...

OP has explained a lot. My goal is not to attack anyone.

To make it simple, Romans: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

ACTS: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

You need to die to yourself. The spirit and the flesh are opposite. You need to feed your spirit and say no to your flesh desires (Resist the enemy and he shall flee)

You come as you are, no matter what sin you carry, repent and turn away from your sinfull lifestyle, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ then go and sin no more.

Meaning you do not live in sin anymore but when you fall and commit a sin, repent immediately and turn away.

If you continue living in sin for example 1COR 6:9-11
Then you can expect That you will suffer God's wrath on you Psalms 5:5

Since you can't change by yourself, a true repentance from the heart will bring Jesus in your life and he through his Holy Ghost, clean up your heart and you will no longer desire to committing sin.

That's it , hope this helps.

Are you serious?

Jesus Christ says in Matthew 25:41, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels." In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Very good reflection I never considered it that way. Luke warm church, end of an age.

I think it is a spiritual test. You have to contribute in some way to the universe and you will always go much further.

If I get to feel god at the end of it I must of done something right.

Since Jesus created a New Covenant, does that mean that the J's would not enter the kingdom of heaven...

He's talking about the end of the GRACE period. When the Spirit pulls away and the bride is raptured. Else the antichrist couldn't do what he's about to.

The fire symbolizes disintegration, ashes to ashes recycled dust to dust, no resurrection, not pointless eternal life.

Jesus doesn't care about nomenclature.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There is no religion that saves only 1 name
Acts:
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

OP: Let's take a quick look at the Scripture you quoted: "Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24“Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does them will be like a discreet man who built his house on the rock. 25And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and lashed against that house, but it did not cave in, for it had been founded on the rock. 26Furthermore, everyone hearing these sayings of mine and not doing them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and struck against that house, and it caved in, and its collapse was great.” Mt7:21"

Theses verses have revealed the law of a works based salvation in your heart. But, John 6:27-29 says that will of God is to "Believe on him whom he hath sent". On other words, to do the will of God (the Father) is to believe on Jesus Christ, the One He sent.

Now, the next part: Observe what the wicked servant said "‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’" Where was the man's focus? On Jesus's finished work of the cross, or his own works?

As for the rest, once a person believes on Jesus CHrist EXCLUSIVELY for his justification, he does whatever he does BECAUSE is ALREADY saved: Those works are simply evidence of the belief in his heart. Nothing more. The're are only a display of faith. So again, true grace, means no works to get saved at all. And that is the entire Gospel in a nut shell: Romans 10:13 Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Some say that the "Bride" is the Church...

Yes, I agree it is the end of God's Grace period...

Not sure of your point. They still will be thrown in the Lake of Fire and depending on the weight of their sin burn time will take longer for some.
Hitler will burn longer than the kid who just stole a pack of gum and got run over while running away. There lies God's justice and righteousness.

So the J's will not make it to Heaven because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as savior...

Not quite.
It can be a discussion.
It's easier to be "saved" from Lake of Fire
Than it is to be the bride and be taken in the rapture.
Does that make sense?

The basis teachings of Jesus for Salvation

1. Repent

Matthew 4:17 (KJV) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mark 1:15 And saying*, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe* the gospel.


2. Believe

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


3. Be "born again".

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


4. Forgive others so the Father will forgive you.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


5. Do the Father's Will

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

They have special protection from God during the apocalypse. Where they will have the chance to repent. I don't know about you man, but imagine seeing the 2 witnesses walking around, preaching. As well as the angels warning not to take the mark.

I understand about being saved from the lake of fire, but not about the bride taken in rapture being harder...

But essentially, you're correct. THE door to heaven is Jesus. It's represented everywhere in the Bible on top of being written as is. Noah's ark had now many doors? 1

So am I misunderstanding that the 144,000 that will be saved by special protection from God are J's...

Q and A huh? I thought this was a new woke post.

Never mind. Carry on...
