You think the bible tells us all we must do is accept jesus - WRONG!
Sermon on the mount - Jesus explains very clearly that to those on the left that did not help other people in their lives, he will say "Depart from me, ye who are cursed into the fires of the devil for i was hungry, and you did not feed me, i needed clothes and you did not clothe me..." And he will say to those on the right the exact opposite. There now christians, one way that proves we MUST, MUST Help others to go to heaven. And yet ye will say "No, good deeds don't get you to heaven" well guess what, Jesus disagrees (^^^).

Good point, and I think too many Christians ignore the message of Jesus too.
However, the Sermon on the Mount was actually added 300 years after the Bible was written. We know this because it is not in either of the oldest and best manuscripts of the bible, the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus. There is a growing concensious that the Sermon never actually happened.
I'm not a Christian, but being intellectually honest, this is technically not a good argument against them.

the bible was in its correct form when jesus was alive but now there are so many editions that no one knows whats right............
here is proof that the bible is wrong and it has contradictions so how can the book of GOD hace contradictions ON THE OTHER HAND QURAN has no contradictions
Mathematics’ is a branch, which is closely associated with science, with which you can solve problems, etc. There are thousands of contradictions in the Bible - hundreds deal with mathematics, and I’ll first touch on few of them. It is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.1, and Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.6, the context that… ‘When the people returned from exile, from Babylon , when king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, when he released the men from Israel , they came back from captivity’ - and the list of the people are given. The list is given in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.2 to 63, and Nehemiah Ch. No.7, Verse No.7 up to 65; the list is given with the names as well as number of people released. In these 60 Verses there are no less than 18 times - the name is exactly the same but the number is different. There are no less than 18 contradictions in less than 60 Verses, of these two Chapters. This is the list - I don’t have time to run through the list - There are no less than 18 different contradictions in less than 60 Verses. Further it is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2 Verse No.64 that… ‘The total congregation, if you add up… if you add up, it comes to 42,360.’ And if you read in Nehemiah , Ch. No.7, Verse No.66, there also the total is the same 42,360. But if you add up all these verses - which I had to do my homework - this is the list of Ezra… this is the list of Nehemiah. Ezra Ch. No 2, Nehemiah Ch. No 7 - If you add up - I had to do my homework…if you add up, Ezra Ch. No. 2 - It does not come to 42,360 - it comes to 29,818. And if you add up Nehemiah , Ch. No. 7, even then it does not come to 42,360 - It comes to 31,089. The author of the Bible, presumed to be ‘Almighty God’, does not know simple addition. If you give this problem, even to a person who has passed elementary school, he will be able to get the right answer. If you add up all the 60 Verses, it is so easy. Almighty God did not know adding – Nauzubillah… if we presume, that this is the word of God.

I was not aware of that part in the bible. But you have to accept Jesus AND repent then you will be allowed in.
In my opinion there in neither a heaven nor a hell nor a purgatory. There is no evidence to suggest that anything happens after we die. Are we so closed minded that we can not conceive that there could just be nothing after our bodies fail us?

Belief in Christ as the Son of God and acceptance of Him as your Lord and Savior is the only way to get to heaven. What he is teaching in this sermon is that simply believing in Him is not enough. We are also to do those things and other good works. It is a combination. You cant just accept christ and then continue committing sin at your leisure and you cant just do good works and expect to get to heaven.

You make a wrong assumption for all Christians.
Only a small minority of Christians believe that we "think the bible tells us all we must do is accept Jesus"
Try to be less generalizing or more informed.

Exactly. Faith without works is dead. We have an obligation to 'BE' Christians.
