Do you know that God does not recognize your religion, but the good deeds you did for the needy persons?

    Yes I knew that! We are commanded to bear fruit by helping people. Those disobedient Christians who don't do this will not enter heaven. The more fruit you bear, the greater will be your rewards in heaven!

    Matthew 7:21

    "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

    Interesting. My God is completely different. Good deeds can't get you into heaven. Ephesians 2 Only after accepting Christ and repenting of your sins can you enter and that is because he made it possible through his son, Jesus Christ. God is the only person capable of making you in right standing with God (Righteous) in Christianity. I am glad that my God does not use good deeds as a measure. It would be a little messed up (I truly mean no offense to you.) If I hacked someone up with an ax, shot another and robbed houses, but I gave ten dollars to the salvation army once, I don't think that would merit much.

    the word 'religion' is in the NT 4 times. God recognized the religion of the Jews and Gentiles. It's up to us to believe in the religion that brings us to Him. Salvation is about faith and good works.

    I heard it was based upon your understanding.

    Who defines good and bad.?

    Spiritual ignorance is the basis for all problems.

    If I could offer the spiritually lacking anything of value I would.

    But I cannot, their minds are closed.
