and therefore technically no one will be going to Heaven because you have to follow the rules to be eligible?

Gal 5:14-18
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulful the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Those are mostly guidelines not rules in the Bible.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
The '2 or more witnesses' principle given to the the Jews and Christians lay out an area to stay within, not a tightrope(thread) to walk in our life currently.

No, that's not true, to go to heaven you have to TRUELY believe that Jesus died for your sins and that he is the son of God. and yes it is impossible to follow everything and be perfect and no one on the Earth is perfect so all Christians are hypocrits but hey we will still try our best to follow the rules.

Yes, rules upon rules. We as Christians believe Christ fulfilled "the law" in that he followed all the rules and sits beside the Father God and answers each time we fail to follow. The Law can only be fulfilled by forgiveness through Christ who allows our forgiveness through his completeness. Why try? Appreciation to Christ.

You're right, but we're not saved because of some rules, it's by faith and his awesome grace that will get us into heaven.

No one is perfect and we do the best we can, God does not expect us to be perfect! God will decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell!
