If you believe that you die and go straight to heaven for eternity, then you must also believe that sin is ended and the we don't have 1 Judgement day, but rather every day is Judgement day for millions who die each day, thus making the entire NT moot and irrelevant.

You are making tremendous leaps in logic from things I did not say.

I never said heaven was automatic for everyone or anyone and I never said that sin was ended.

Every day is judgment day for those who died. Scripture says we are to die once, and then the judgment. What do you think is going to happen? You will die and your soul will just hang around, maybe haunting an old hotel or seomthing until the end of time?

We die and are judged. It's that simple. At the end of time, all will be judged and all will be revealed for all to see the wicked get punished and the virtuous get rewarded. It is unclear why you think time must elapse for our disembodied souls before this happens.

Perhaps I was unclear. I was not saying that all automatically go to heaven or that Christ was not needed or anything like that. My comments on entering heaven "today" or "a thousand years from now" were predicated on the idea that only those who trust in Christ enter Heaven. I would hope that would be understood.

You really ought to read the Book of Revelation. Chapter 20 especially. Scripture says that there are two deaths. Two, not 1.
