Since it's all our free will and our choice, then let's all become good Christians and Revelations won't have to happen right?
But wait, that would mean Jesus' predictions were false....
So would us all becoming good Christians be a good thing or a bad thing, I mean on one hand humanity would be spared an Armaggedon, but on the other Jesus and God could never be wrong.....I'm sooooo confused.

I didn't say "perfect Christians" because perfect humans of any kind is an oxymoron. So what you are saying then is Armaggedon would still occur, if everyone served God to the best of their ability?

Your question has confused me entirely!
Are you sure about this contradiction?
There must be more to know? Something is missing here?

Because humans have free will, it would be wrong for everyone to be forced into Christianity.
One must love God with their whole heart, soul and mind; this indicates a willing and humble attitude that is necessary in worship. (Philemon 14; Mt 22:37)
After Armaggedon, there will only be those on earth who'll worship the true God. Then everyone earthwide will be "good Christians". (Ps 37:10,11, 29; Mt 5:5)
While there's still time, we should seek out God and worship Him in spirit and in truth. (Zeph 2:1-3; John 4:24)

Same reason why when I tell a Mormon I am Christian they still try to convert me. Christians try to steal christians from other churches because we all think we have the right interpretation of the bible, mormons and JW just think their other scriptures solves the myteries of time and space when the bible warns against this and says that god will give rhemas now and then during your bible devotions.

Your first answer was right about there not really being a such thing as a 'good Christian'.
But the one who really WANTS to make God out to be a liar is Satan. So it's interesting that you would say that. I figure that many more Atheists have a master that they don't believe in.
Really fascinating.

No need to be confuse, the Bible clearly teaches that none are good, no not one. except God, He is good. Just because you repent of your ways, chances are you will slip up and miss the mark at some point, besides that fact that we all have already disobeyed. Rest assured God is faithful and His promises so sure, it is as though they have already happened (Some have), even the end of times, that we patiently await.

Christian are already good. It is the separation. The sheep and the goats. When all is done then comes the BIG day. You are confuse because you are a Goat. When the Big day comes you will not only be confuse but be separated and then you will weep and beg to be spare from not be able to go along with the sheep. Sorry, a goat is always a goat and should be join to other goat. No heart feeling, we are also sad to see you go away. Bye bye

everyone stumbles and falls. if you read romans, you find that day to day you make make mistakes. lets see, gossiping is a sin, so if you even listen, then you arent even a good christian.

its not about being a good christian.i just learned this recently. its about ahving a relationship with the Lord. its not about how many people you can try to save to become born again. its not about showing everyone you believe in God. its not about showing people that christians are "perfect".and its deffinately not about being a good person. its about asking the Lord into your heart and opening up to him. its about being friends with him. loving him like you do your own father. talking to him. reading about him. devoting your entire life to him.walking with him. and trusting in him to take care of your every need.he is what we all need. hes our dad. he loves us all. when he sees us he sees his son Jesus Christ. he cant help but love us. worry about letting him into your heart and not about being a good christian and trying to prove the bible wrong. or by trying to make revelations not happen. its gonna happen. whether we like it or not. and us followers of God need to realize, itll be a blessing when it does. cuz were finally getting closer to going home! its supposed to be exciting.
in matthew theres a parable Jesus uses... its about a man who sowed good seed in his field. when one night an enemy came and sowed weeds among his wheat. now when the wheat grew a head on them the weeds began to show and looked very similar. so the man's servants asked if they could go and pull up all the weeds. the man told them no and explained that while they are pulling the weeds they may uproot the wheat with them. then he says let both grow together until the harvest. at the time of the harvest he tells the harvesters to collect the weeds first, tie them in bundles to be burned. then he tells them to bring the wheat to him in the barn.
basically this means that the people who claim to be those good christians and show the world they believe in God but dont show God they believe in him... they are the weeds. and those who show the world God's love and show God their love... they are God's wheat. find a way to open your heart. hes the answer to it all.
God bless
&&
Jesus Love you!!!

To be a good christian would require you to sacifice your first born son if you believed you saw this in a dream from god. Right? Therefore, do not ever become a good christian!!! Ever!!!

No such thing as a Good Christian. We all sin.
Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
