(("Once He shows His face "in no uncertain terms," it's over. Good news for those who know He's been on our side all along. Bad news for those who deny His existence or think they can earn His favor by good works."))
Do you mean the Game is over? I would offer that is a very GOOD thing. If good works do not earn favor then so be it. That , to me, is just another reason why worship is unfounded. For those that do good works are the ones that i find honorable. Those that care not about good works are those I find dishonorable.
this accounting you are being given is wrong, the bible is full of examples of people with good hearts and honorable existences that where NOT Christian becoming friends or saved by Jesus.
The criminal on the cross for example also see the parable of the Good Samaritan
Churches or religions that preach convert or die messages are false in my opinion and revolting
