No sin will enter Heaven! Jesus forgives you of your sins! But u have to mean it and live for Him! Sins will only enter hell. No sin of any kind will enter the Kingdom of Heaven! Jesus is the way to Heaven! Jesus loves you and He saves! Praying for the lost!

I agree. And also we don't need purgatory because we are saved by grace. Jesus said, It is finished! at the cross. All we need to do is confess, repent( turn away from the sin) and receive God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

An answer from a previous question on Purgatory:
The Book of Revelation tells us that "Nothing unclean can enter Heaven" (Rev 21:27 and 22:3). Therefore, if there is the slightest stain of even a slight venial sin, this must be purged prior to entering the Kingdom of God. John tells us in 1 John 5:16 -17 that there is sin that brings death (Mortal Sin) and also a sin that does not bring death (Venial Sin) and that lesser one can be prayed for to be cleansed. All who go to Purgatory eventually go to Heaven....it is not a "second Chance".
Read Revelation 21:27 and 1 John 5:16-17 for yourself to see the Biblical basis for this doctrine.
A final point on this doctrine of the Church. It is viewed as a gift of God, in that, without it, we would have to be in a perfect sinless state of Grace, as perfect as Jesus Himself, at the moment we died, or we would not be permitted to enter heaven and thus be sent to Hell. Even for the slightest minor offense, such as getting angry when cut off in traffic. Please study this and think it through before attacking it.
You are correct.....No Sin Will Enter Heaven.

Yes. No unclean thing can dwell in the presence of God. You said something that I wholeheartedly agree with. You said that Jesus will forgive you of your sins, but you have to mean it and live for Him. That's wonderful. The doctrine of "easy" grace is not true. Salvation requires repentance. Such repentance involves a change of heart...not merely a change of actions. God bless you. Only the pure in heart shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

To go to heaven we have to be good as God. And we can't be. Only when we are redeemed by His blood are we made the righteousness of Christ. Even one little sin will keep us out of heaven.

To experience heaven,which is primarily the state of full union with God,one must reject sin and attachment to sin. Faith without repentance is mere presumption.

I am Jesus, fear me! Behold you poor misguided soul. I was not actually crucified, it was all a big joke i was playing on my friends. There is no kingdom of heaven, I just told people that so they would do what I told them. I don't really love anyone and I've never saved anything.

No sin BUT ex-sinners and He does forgive us our sins "AND" according to 1 John 1:9 "AND" cleanses us from all unrighteousness, but theres more to entering Heaven then one to "mean it" as you put it, Read what God says about human righteousness Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. We must be covered with THE RIGHTEOUNESS of Christ see also in Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.

I don't mean to question your faith or disrespect Christianity ..
But does that mean that a Christian can steal , kill , conspire , lie , cheat but yet goes to heavens because he lived for Jesus ( PBUH ) ?!
