the beauty of everything, the pantheist God, I'm peaceful and try to be loving and I appreciate Jesus as a good, spiritual man and role model - how'd I fare for heaven?

He could've been saying he was the son of God in a variety of different ways though, surely? We are all sons and daughters of God in one way or another. For me that means that we are all connected. We have a common source. But I don't believe in a personal God, which I guess puts me behind in heaven stakes!

Missed it by _______________________________ that much.
Jesus said that He was God in the flesh. You just said that you believe He was a good spiritual man. One of you is wrong. If you are right, then Jesus lied to us about being the Son of God. And if He lied to us, He couldn't be a good spiritual role model, so that in turn makes you wrong. If Jesus just thought He was the Son of God, He would have been delusional, which also makes Him unfit for being a good spiritual man. Now if Jesus was truly who He said He was, then you have missed the boat because you don't consider Him to be who He said He was. You either believe Jesus or not, but you are not allowed to make Him other than what He claimed and still call Him good and spiritual.

According to the Scriptures, not too well I'm afraid. Jesus is more then just a good, spiritual man and role model, but also God, and the Scriptures say that unless we accept Him as our Savior we cannot be with Him in heaven.

Sorry, but you contradict yourself. Jesus spoke often of Heaven and Hell as very real places. If this be not true, then He was being deceptive and could not be a good and spiritual man. If you do not believe that He is God, very God, from the beginning and that He died and rose again, your ticket for Heaven won't get punched.

simply being righteous and doing good deeds is not enough to get you into heaven. it is the sin that ever man bares then needs to be washed clean.
you are a smart person in understanding the beauty of what is around you. but dont worship and appreciate what was created, look to the creator and thank him for what he has done.
i hope one day you will come to see God's love he has for you.
God bless

If you believe that about Jesus, you believe that He wouldn't lie to us. He claimed to be the Son of God.

Heaven and hell are states of consciousness.
Sounds like your pretty close to heaven.

You should make it to the second heaven.

You should go and pray to God about it. Us mere mortals are not supposed to judge you.

In Christ, your relationship
with God is personal.
