IF he were to go further with this he'd get people to talk about their thought life.
People don't realize just how often they're thought life condemns them.
True. But today in our country, more people seem inclined to notice and be bothered by the wrongs, real and imagined, done by others while usually justifying or minimizing what they’ve done wrong, if they see it at all. There’s so much outrage — about other people. People are demonically thirsty for vengeance and are very zealous to remove the moats in the eyes of others. That’s pretty apparent just from social media, though that attitude is just about everywhere.
So when people say they believe in some sort of god that they want to define for themselves, and some sort of Heaven, and that they’re definitely a good person who will get to live there, it might make sense to point out to them that naturally everyone thinks they’re doing right or what they do is justified, and that they’re good people. But is that really so? Would anyone want to live in eternity with the other people they know, just as they are, with their tendency to see things wrong, to be selfish, to use others, to betray trusts? How many people that they know would they be willing to trust with a large sum of money? For there to be Heaven, don’t we need to be unified spiritually by someone who is perfect and who will rule over us perfectly, leading us and watching out for us all from the motivation of perfect love, and capable of knowing us perfectly and making perfect decisions? Maybe people who think they’re good will realize that they won’t want to live with other humans who think like they do in eternity, without the Father and Jesus Christ to rule over us there.
