You were a sinner before you were born. God expects us to sin...that is why he has given us FORGIVENESS. Live your life according to the Bible...but we are human...and will make mistakes, judge people, curse, etc. We must recognize our faults and sins and ask God to help us to move on and to forgive us. You have to BELIEVE to get to Heaven. That's really all He asks, for us to believe and follow his Word. Good Luck! I'll see you there :)

Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of God's glorious standard." Then, later in Romans 6:28, it says "The wages of sin is death." Now, that sounds very discouraging. obviously, but there is hope. Look at the other verses in chapter 3. Here are verses 21 and 22: "But now a righteousness from God, apart from the law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Christ Jesus to all who believe."
Hopefully, you can have hope that you don't need to be perfect. We all screw up, so God made a way for us to still have a relationship with Him: grace.

Heaven is real. You just have to believe. Everyone sins, you are supposed to repent those sins, but not commit them again. The problem with todays society is that people continue to make the same mistakes over and over. If you do right by other people and are a good person you don't have anything to worry about. In the end no matter what religion you are everyone will meet their maker. That is judgment day.

It's impossible to live a sinless life ,only Jesus did . Eternal life is a free gift if you are willing to accept it . Romans 10:17 " So then faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God ".

techincally only 1000 people stay in the new eden (NEW JERUSALEM) and Christianity comes to an end - so all that was of Christianity becomes redundant as an insitution in the end..
heaven is a questionable identity that is not wholely touched upon in the bible.
you don't like it make your own religion...
and make the rules for heaven much more simpler like. If you die and you have not offended the head of this religion then you will go to heaven.. Alternatively if you donate $x then you will go to heaven.. etc..
for the poor it could be if you dedicate your life to my service and the heads of this faith then you will go to heaven.. etc..
remember the bible is a period piece that doesn't necissarily represent gods current opinion.. he is known to change his mind on issues.. and a couple thousand years is ample time when looking at it historically. Maybe sales were good enough that he figured he'd retire.

How true - its an impossible life (though Jesus says all these are possible through God). That is precisely WHY Jesus died in our place, one time for all of our sins.
If we accept Jesus as Savior and allow Him to be LORD over our lives, then we are saved. We are not sinless - but Jesus' sacrifice covers our sins. After we come to accept that, we can begin the process of asking Jesus to transform our lives.
And though we may never be sinless even after accept Christ, we can know him as LORD, trying to obey, please, love and glorify Him every day with every breath.

You are correct! NOBODY can get to Heaven on their own and we all deserve Hell (Romans 3:23). that's why Jesus died for our sins (Romans 6:23). You're almost there - keep reading!!! At least read Romans.
If you would like to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior and to forgive you of your sins (Romans 10:9-10), check out www.godlovestheworld.com to see more what the Bible says on this.

It's not about sinless, just forgiven. I read a funny saying once.
If only sinless perfect people got in to heaven God would be all alone.

That's why Jesus died for us on the Cross...because no one can live a sinless life. The only way for God to save us was for Himself to come down and die for our sins.
The only way to get to Heaven is to ask Jesus to take you there, by saving you and giving you eternal life now, here, on earth.
Heaven starts here.

Good point..
everyone sins. We're only human. Asking Jesus for forgiveness is the key. Don't take it for advantage though, just keep going at living life without sin, it'll only get easier =)
