| From what I've read in the bible and been taught that's not true.
It's if you live a good life you will be rewarded, you do not have to believe in God as long as you live piously and are a good person, by your standard Gandhi wouldn't be allowed in heaven because he was Hindu. From what I know of the bible (which has slowly eroded because of me not caring so much anymore) is that like I said before you live a good life you are rewarded no matter what your faith. |
That is not my understanding at all.
Just living a "good life" will not get you into heaven.
Here are some verses to back my view up.
