AMEN!

So we Christians should not be smug about who is going where and who is going to be saved.

Point of order...

It is Jesus, and the NT writers that were very matter of fact about who is going to Heaven and who is not.

It is a fact that each individual (not some Christian somewhere) gets to choose if he wants to go to Heaven.

Jesus, not Peter, not Joseph Smith, not Jerry Fallwell, not GWB, not John Paul whatever, not Bill Clinton, not Mohammad, nor some Himalayan bean curd eating guru, is holding the keys to the Kingdom. Do you want 'em? Just ask. It's real easy.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
