Why does following christianity brings me to god?
What is da deal with the bible that if i read i become attached to god?
What is the deal in doin ur rituals that i will reach god?
What has words, books,rituals have to do with god?
So is this god of urs, gives the ticket to heaven only if he is idolised and yearned?
So if i dun read the bible, i know nothing about jesus and christianity, but i stay as a good man, i go to heaven?
What if i decide to stay locked up in my room and jus play my guitar for the rest of my life and day by day slowly donate all my wealth to the poor while stayin locked up in the room? In that case, im a good man, i dun sin,i do good, but i dun follow ur religion at all, i dun read the bible,i dun know the existence of jesus and if ur answer is im not goin to heaven.then it clearly shows u r not preachin god but u r preachin christianity,u make ppl join ur clan thats all. Finally, what isit u noe bout heaven that u yearn to go ther?Whats da deal in heaven?

Be good man recognize all others as sacred treat them that way and mind your business IF other people need to tell you about the bible to help them get through this rough road of life then let them listen without judgement and let them go there way, living the life they choose to live. ITs NOT about them its about YOU it about the inner journey not the outerone.
When I leave here if there is judgement he wont ask me about what you did to me he will ask what I did after that.

First of all, post shorter questions, your long text scares people away.
1. Well, any religion that is true and by true religion i mean that actaully lets you feel and know God. And its because God knows you love Him back.
2.I personally hate the dreary longwindedness of the Bible, I prefer the Quran. Its because people like to read the words of God and they get to know him more.
3.I dont know whats up with the rituals. Praying is talking to God and professing your faith every week is encouraging. also sacred eating is part of cleanliness is next to Godliness.
4. The books and words are what God wants you to do in your life and tell you what you can do to please Him.
. He only lets you into heaven if you do as he says and you live the kind of life he wants for you. One free from sin etc.
6.If you read the entire Bible the extremely long Bible and know nothing about Jesus and Christianity, you would have to be blind or Helen Keller. But you would not go to heaven just for readng.
7.Well i think that would count as tempting the Lord so that would actually count against you and youd go to Hell and there would be nothing else for God to you judge on. It would be better to become a monk or a nun who plays the guitar.
8.Heaven is a place where you are eternally happy not matter what. it sounds impossible but if you get there, youll know what im talking about.
ps your spelling is horrible.

Yes u can play guitar, yes u can do whatever u want to do.
i don't believe that God created religion but people did.
God created a way for people to come back to him this way is the only way, Jesus the Christ.
if u thought u r a christian and u read the bible and go to church and minister to everyone and even u can be a Pope but if u didn't meed Jesus and have a relationship with him u r fake
there is a lot of fake christians around us
reading the bible will allow us to know what God wants from God not from people who can fake everything.
so meeting christ will take u to heaven, reading bible will help u to know who u r. playing guitar is a gift from God use it well.

Being a Christian is not about following a bunch of rules and rituals. It is about a relationship with God. With any other relationship you talk, you listen, and you do things together. When you pray you re talking to God. When you read the Bible you are hearing God's word. There are a lot of things that God would love to do with someone that has a relationship with him.

I'm Christian but Im sure that all the religions are able to make people to try to get an ideal of life. Someone said... Love and make whatever you wish.
In my opinion heaven is just a representation of our hope.
Being isolated of thw world is not a good choice because then your life will pass without making any good effect on your community.

Wow, you have a lot of questions. I'm not sure I understood all of them, but I will try to explain what I can.
Following Christianity has never brought anyone to God. Following Jesus and believing in him has.
The Bible does not contain some magic to make you "attach" yourself to God, instead it presents a truth that is powerful when you open your mind and soul to it.
Rituals will never be what get you to God, but for some people, they help them feel connected. Believing in Jesus and God is not a set formula. You must believe and try to follow the commandments and Jesus' teaching, but it isn't all clear. Part of faith is trusting Jesus/God to bring you where you need to be and trusting him to point out to you when you are doing something against his will through various means (ex. other people, your conscience, etc).
The ticket to Heaven is only found through Jesus. Faith is what gets you to heaven. Why would you not want to praise and worship the source of your salvation? The one who is saving you from an eternal lake of fire?
You obviously have heard of Jesus so by ignoring that and sticking to just being a "good man" you are purposely turning your back on the wonderful things God may have planned for your life. It is near impossible for anyone to go through life without hearing of Jesus and God, it says in the Bible that no one will be ignorant to the salvation found through Jesus. It is your choice on whether you not you are willing to take that step of faith.
Think of it this way - Say you choose to believe in nothing, no God, then if any other religion is right, you are doomed. But by choosing to have faith in something, you are taking a chance on being right. I personally believe the God of Abraham and Issac, the God who sent Jesus, his son, to die for my sins, is the one true God and my way out of hell. Heaven is unknown, but what is known is that it is much better than an eternal lake of fire. You can't get much worse than going through all eternity in agony.

there are religions that have nothing to do with gods. the point of a religion is to give you something to believe in and a church is a place wheere you can go and be accepted by all the people there (though the christian church doesne work that way they only accept straight people who hate gays and anyone else who isnt christian) my religion has no god so i agree with all the things you said about rituals and books having to do with god

Matthew 12:35-37 JESUS SAID
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
brings forth good things: and an evil man
out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

The Name of Jesus is the ticket to God the Father, the only ticket.
I Cr 13;8a
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
