Am I a Good Person?

Yes, there's loving God. But that's it.

Matthew 22:36-40:

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luke, Catholic chapter ten, Protestant verse twenty eight,
as authorized, but not authored, by King Jamrs

Why don’t they build it from the 13 (14?) letters Paul wrote primarily for Gentiles, where the risen Lord CONTINUED TO TEACH? “My gospel”, Paul called it.

Yes that is true who in the heck is this Jesus this guy is talking about any way?

Greatest, not only.

Well He also did say that ALL the law and the prophets hang from those two greatest commandments.

Let's put it this way. There's a line to Saint Peter's desk. One by one each soul reaches him, and he barcodes their thumbprint on his iPad and calls up their file, and reads it. "Murderer. Nope" he says, and taps the iPad, and a door opens up under their feet and they drop away to hell. "Rapist. Nope." Tap, they're gone. "Thief, Nope." Tap. "Politician. Nope." Tap. "Advertising Executive. Nope." Tap. "Telemarketer. Nope" Tap. "Child Molester. Nope." Tap.

Then I get up there. "Hmmm, lemme see. You loved God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul? Check. And you loved your neighbor as yourself? Check." Saint Peter the looks at me and squints. "Anything else? You noticed the Bible is more than one page long, right? Well?" He waits. "Nope" he says, and reaches to tap his finger.

"PETER!" A voice booms from the sky. "KNOCK IT OFF!"

Sheepishly, Peter pushes a button on his desk, and the Pearly Gates open wide.
