You will never see heaven as a result of your own merits. Nowhere does Scripture instruct us to "carry our own cross." The shed blood of Christ saves us.
Yep. Nothing like a good old blood sacrifice.
Virgins into the fire is also good.

God's ways are not man's ways.

There is correction. Why do you ignore that?

That is right. Man's ways are more moral.

If God cannot know man then He should not be followed.

The God of ants is an ant.
The God of lions is a lion.
The God of men should be a man.
That is natural.
Your way is un-natural.
Alien Gods should lead alien, not men.

You never addressed the correction/remedy issue.

Yes it does.

2 Peter 3:9 KJ
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Regards
DL
