Are you a 'Good Person' and is that enough in the eyes of God Jehovah?
1. Have I always loved God my Creator with all my heart, mind, soul and strength?
2. Have I made a god in my own image, a god to suit myself?
3. Have I ever used God's name in vain?
4. Have I kept the Sabbath holy?
5. Have I always honored my parents implicitly?
6. Have I murdered (God considers hatred as murder)?
7. Have I committed adultery (including premarital sex and lust)?
8. Have I stolen (the value is irrelevant)?
9. Have I lied (including fibs and these questions)?
10. Have I coveted (been greedy or materialistic)?
If you have answered 'Yes' to any of the above questions, the answer is no. God does not determine our futures based on what We think of ourselves. He bases it on How we followed His Word and If we put our complete trust in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.
Sorry, folks but - God' Kingdom has laws and consequences for disobedience. It is time to stop "SUGAR COATING" things and start speaking the truth about HIS WORD.

Friend, nobody can ever obey all the commandments. It's humanly impossible. The only One who did it was Jesus, and He paid the price for us all. If you love Him, though, trying hard to keep His commandments is a natural consequence of it, but nothing that we do can make Him love us more or less. We can only walk away or come closer to Him by our actions. But don't be deceived - it's not a matter of mere actions. It's your heart that matters. And if you start thinking that you are better than people who don't obey The Lord, you are going the wrong way. Humbleness is the word.
The Scriptures quite plainly explain that humans can disqualify themselves from receiving everlasting life; it is only the judgment of God and Christ that one has faithfully COMPLETED a life course that assures salvation.

(Matthew 7:13-14) Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.
(Matthew 24:13) But he that has endured TO THE END is the one that will be saved. [emphasis added]
(Philippians 2:12) Keep WORKING OUT your own salvation with fear and trembling [emphasis added]
(Hebrews 10:26-27) For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment
(Hebrews 5:9) [Jesus] became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those OBEYING him [emphasis added]
(James 2:14,17) Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if a certain one says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? ...17 Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.
Do as we are saying no longer as we do ok????? The Watchtower enterprise admits they taught satanic practises for over 40 3 years.

I thought it was some kind of fancy imported cheese.
What am I thinking of?
So you're saying that Jehovah's witnesses are not people who testify about having seen cheese?
Boy, now I feel bad about what I said to those well-dressed young folks that came to my front door last week. And I really feel bad about having used the taser on them.
While I agree that we shouldn't sugar coat God's Word, it says what it says, the reason we must depend upon grace and mercy is our inability to obey 24/7
