There's no practical difference between setting an impossible standard and simply damning everyone from the outset.
Quote:2)God knowing Heaven would be empty, then provided a way to obtain righteousness (the right to goto heaven) apart from following the law/Earning righteousness through our actions.Making the system as useless as it is poorly thought out. I'm told I have to accept the torture and murder of the "better man" for something that -I- have done, as part of this "way" of yours. That was gods brilliant plan, to subvert his own shitty system, so that terrible people have an out. Righteousness doesn't even belong in this conversation. Is it actually surprising that I'm uninterested? I know, I know, you think that people who don't want to by the product don't understand....but I don't want to buy the product because I -do- understand.
