They'd like you to think that. If someone is going to throw land away like that they can give it to me.

The only chance we have is the absolute knowing that Jesus Christ is in our hearts and we have accepted him as our Savior. And then its not a chance its the real thing. My 98 year old grandmother last Sunday went to heaven and we could all feel such a peace knowing that Jesus was her savior. What a wonderful happy time we all rejoiced!! Just let Jesus in your heart . If It is in his will that you donate land then do so but that is between you and your Savior.

You will meet up with God no matter what you do. He loves us unconditionally. That means "no matter what"! Giving the church land sure would help them spread the Word better, so if you feel strongly about your church, it sure would be a positive thing to do.

Entrance to Heaven is NOT granted by any work, or works, that a person can do.
The Bible says that all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.
Faith IN Christ is the ONLY way.
Some people think of it as if they were on a balance scale, whether or not their "good" will out-weigh the "bad."
It just doesn't work that way!

No. There is only one way to heaven, a relationship with the One who died to make heaven yours! Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life! Look to Jesus!!

there is no such thing as heaven after death;your best chances of going to heaven is finding a beautiful prostitute named heaven and selling your land and giving her your money $75.00 at a time....

God doesn't base actions on just 1 great accomplishment. It's what you do with your life - for him - that matters. Although that idea is extremely giving and takes a loving heart and soul to do, I believe God judges from all your accomplishments and repentences.

Nope. And I don't have any land to give away anyway. Heck, I don't even have a permanent home. "Home" is wherever the Army sends us.

no, I am already going, my ticket has already been brought and paid for, plus when I die my land goes to my kids.

If you're doing it for selfish reasons (improving your chances of ascension), it doesn't count -- that's not being holy, that's being a theological apple-polisher....
