Being in the presence of a Holy, perfect God would be pretty horrible if you were a sinful man.
Yes, Gandhi had sin. Probably not as much as me...but without Christ to cleanse him of it, he's toast.

No matter what all of you say, kdbrich is right, because that's what JESUS said. It's not his opinion, he doesn't think he's deity, he's not egotistical, nor petty. He's only repeating what Jesus Himself said.
And Susu...If you're going to actually read the bible, read the rest of chapter 7 instead of taking that quote out of context.

Never mind then - you got me with the (usual) brilliant arguments and logic atheists are simply powerless in defending!
Well that Being that you can't see, authored the Bible. And what you could see if you studied it, is that the Bible predicts our future, and a number of it's prophecies have already come to pass. And the reason those prophecies are true, is because the author of the Bible is the real God. And we know this, because only the real God knows the future. And one of the most important actions you will ever take in your life, is to accept the real God as your Lord and Saviour. Because without Jesus Christ, there is no future. And you alone cannot earn your salvation, only Christ has that that authority to do that for you.
Howard Storm was a man who did not believe anything either, yet you might consider his story. Link below.
In order to enter heaven, it requires a person to be perfect. Now let me ask you a question, have you lived a perfect life? When you stand before God will you say to Him, "God, I deserve to go to heaven, because I have lived a perfect life". And if you can't say that, why should God allow you into His perfect heaven?
GOD is not Yaldabaoth. GOD cannot be quantified into human forms...it would be like one of your white blood cells trying to understand you as a thinking person for a mortal or a god to try to understand GOD. Hence, I would have nothing to say to GOD, because I could not say anything, and yet, GOD hears us...
Perfection is not necessary to enter the Aeon of GOD, the true reality. "All that is necessary" ( as if it's easy) is to live and learn by living and seeking to understand the teachings of Christ and the prophets to get closer to GOD (gain Gnosis) so that, possibly, upon our death, we will be able to completely brake the cicyle of death and rebirth and join GOD in Heaven/transcendents/Nirvana/what ever you want to call it...
or, I could just die and spend eternity kissing Yaldabaoth's sorry celestial rump for eternity Yahh...that's heaven, worshipping satan for eternity
YOU think it's the truth. YOU. Not me, and not several other people on this forum and throughout the world.
I didn't know that believing in nothing = believing a lie.
Keep in mind that the "book that speaks the truth" was compiled by a bunch of ex-Roman nobleman who wanted to keep the populace down along with a bunch of male chauvinist (I happen to be a male myself) and slave owners for the purpose of having a religion that still enforced a rather barbaric world view.
The "truths" in the Nicene (mainstream) bible include the ramblings of Paul, a man who never actually met Christ, and an "end-of-the-world-prediction" which in actuallity was just a delusional madman with a beef with Nero seeing things.
Want a book of Truth? Easy...

Step 6: recycle all the rejected books in the proper recycling bin, leaving Revelation.
Step 7: place Revelation in the fire.
Whola!
Now, you have a book of truth!
