The NT is clear we only gain Heaven through faith in Christ.
Oh, so God the Father is OUT just like that.
Then why is there so much confusion?
Maybe the problem lies in the interpretation, the meaning of words even, like the word 'faith', which no longer means to actually do what Yeshua told us to do.
Most (Jews, Gentiles, and 'not so sures') agree on a coming day of judgement.
So if you look at the words of Yeshua/Jesus:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
They make perfect sense, for He will be the judge of us all, and that according to the full Gospel (both Old and New Testaments).
So let's (I'm speaking of us all here) be a little less sure the other fellow got it wrong when we ourselves could benefit from more study/consideration.
