[Rhadaghast]

then 'they' won't have many gems in their crowns once they get to heaven, will they?

Jesus pointed out the motivation of people in many instances, specifically when asked what was the greatest commandment. That definitely pointed to movitation and underlying repsonse. Man can still join a church to get fire insurance and now he can join a church for future and current reward, but the motivation as described in I Corinthians means his selfish nature is creating hay, wood and stubble, not gems in a crown. Are you saying you have a different view of man and if so, what is it?

Are you saying you have a different view of man and if so, what is it? Huh? I stated my opinion on this. What are you asking?
