messenjaH responds to me:

You answered your own question.
But my answer was that people who are heinous and make a deathbed conversion don't get to heaven. That's the only way to be fair to those who are angelic but for whatever reason don't believe in Jesus.
And yet, you said the following:
quote:
A man who accepts Christ at his dying hour goes to heaven.
So which is it?
If a person is heinous but at the last second repents, he gets to go to heaven? How is that fair to someone who does everything right but for whatever reason doesn't accept Jesus? There are people, after all, who have never heard of Jesus. Why do they get sent to hell?
quote:
Some believe that if a man accepts Jesus as a young child then denies him as an adult, perhaps becomes atheist then he would still enter the kingdom of God. I'm not too sure if that works.
Logical error: Strawman.
Nobody is talking about having a conversion and then going off and doing horrible things. We're talking about doing horrible things and then having a conversion that happens before one has a chance to make restitution or do anything else, really.
If you have your revelation and then die, what happens? And how is that fair to someone who does everything right but never has the revelation?
quote:
It doesn't matter how many good deeds you do if you trust in Jesus Christ as your savior. But if you do none then you obviously aren't true.
Weren't you pounding into the ground the claim that "nobody is perfect" in the thread about the "ultimate gift"?
quote:
*Different meaning of the word work(s).
Ah, so you're equivocating. Another logical error, I'm afraid.
quote:
Side note: I don't have all the answers
But what makes you think you have this answer?
And if you don't, why are you acting as if you do? Isn't bearing false witness a sin?
