the willingness to die for or willingness to give up your place in heaven for someone you love,
think about it
jesus died on the cross for our sins,
what if to get into heaven all you needed was to love someone as much as jesus loves all of us, but love someone enough to put yourself on a cross for them, love someone enough to take their place in hell
doesn't even have to be a person, could be love for an animal,
i dunno

yeah yeah yeah i know what the bible says, but the biggest problem with that is that the bible was written and rewritten and rewritten by humans, humans which are free to reinterprete their beliefs into what they write

If the christians' bible said that they needed to fornicate with goats and crocodiles on a daily basis in order to book their ticket to heaven, they would do it. Organized religion is nothing more than sugarcoated volunteer work in disguise. Even their christ had quite a different vision, but the christians only go to church and pray to save their own as_es a place in their heaven.

Christians don't need to every worry about dying for someone to get into Heaven because Jesus already did that. He died on the cross for every person on the earth. Jesus made it really easy on people, you simple have to believe and have faith. Getting in to heaven is a matter of faith, not works of man

You can talk about what if's all day but the fact still remains...God wrote a little book with very simple instructions on how to get into Heaven. The cost for you is nothing, completely free. Try reading just John 3:16 and see for yourself

You are hitting on the thought I have. It takes so little yet is so much to man. It could be done right now or in five minutes by just one person but that single self centerment holds it back.

The basis of your argument is flawed. Jesus did not die on the cross for anyone. The concept of original sin is a falacy created by man. I am astounded that 'thinking' human beings choose to believe this.

Oh I get it.....So that's gonna be your excuse for not trying because the bible has been rewritten huh? foolish............
Answer me this.....If you were to die and you faced god, do you think you would get punished for something somebody else rewrote that turned out to be wrong? Or for not trying at all and using that for an excuse?

If you didn't believe in heaven or hell, why would you take someone else's place in hell?
Your questions strike me as either a method of self-discovery, or poorly thought through trolling.
My answer is to simply accept the obviousness of the truth.

Ok,.............Nah, I won't spoil your Christian vision at all. Though I am a Muslim and can bust this argument in a second and debate the whole issue for hours, I just won't spoil your thoughts. who are the religious fanatics you are reffering too. You mean like OSAMA. No, he doesn't visit R&S!

I will gladly trade my place in heaven with anyone

So by giving up my place in heaven, I get my place in heaven? How,exactly, would that work. If I give up my seat on the bus, I don't win my seat. Doesn't make sense.
