I could do that on a golf course, no sense wasting time at Mass any longer. I can live whatever lifestyle that I choose...WOO-HOO, I'm for that. I have no idea what the Bible meant when it said many are called, few are chosen, or the mention of a narrow gate, or any of the other seeming hardships to enter paradise....Just express a belief that Jesus is the Lord and Savior (Satan does that) and all your obligations are superceded by salvation through grace alone.......O.K.

What lifestyle you go after will be permanently reflected in the quality and extent of your eternal life... goofing off here will NOT gain you... nobody is saying God is mocked here. The bible explicitly calls it shortsighted. What kind of WOO-HOO is this? This is to vastly misunderstand. It is not human efforts that keep your salvation going. But God gives you a range of choice in the quality of the results.

What a GREAT way to put it. Very succinct.

That was inspired.
