In the book that I've read....THE BOOK I should say. Jesus says believe in me and you are saved and you will see him in heaven. Its so simple, its almost to simple, but sometimes things in life are like that. Jesus doesn't say If you don't go to church X amount of times, or you need to give X amount of dollars, etc.

There really are no conditions other than believeing. Now, when and if you "sin", and we all do, you can ask for forgiveness and Jesus, forgives you. So many people think "sin" is only sexual, but sin could be as simple as not helping some body who needs help such as a door held for them, or maybe ignoring some persons needs. I think Jesus made it very simple, but it was mankind and the church that complicated things. Love and Peace really started with Jesus, so simple , so pure.

I have no illusions about myself, so I don't pretend to be perfect. None of us are perfect. So, yes, if I knew that heaven and hell were a certainty, I would tweak a thing or two. Overall, I am fair and kind to people. However, I don't think kindly of people who are cruel to others or to animals. Nor do I have a tolorance for those who are excessively rude or who lie and gossip about others.

Also, I LOVE animals....that got St. Francis into heaven!

Damn! I thought I had everybody fooled!

I think this question might be too vague. If Heaven and Hell were a certainty and you had to do X to get into Heaven, would you do so? X could be something like going to church on Sunday, or it could be always being kind to elephants, or using the right shampoo or giving up all your worldly goods and caring for the poor. The options are endless.

Good point, Tim.

I don't think I would change anything.
