Taking Things Literally

rjr6-just a note, correct me if I am wrong. You are NOT saying that the societal judgement decides the heavenly judgement. A serial pedophile rapist and capital murderer who repents and asks JC into his life on death row, is accepted by God as readily as the kindly priest who fulfills God's word to the letter, whose only sin is pride.

That is up to God. Pride is a pretty big sin, a violation of the ten commandments.
 
In conclusion, as long as you love God in your heart and repent on your deathbed, following the Bible is completely irrelevant to being a Christian.
So - why bother?

Because if you don't follow the Bible throughout the course of your life,
then the chances that you will think of repenting while you are on your deathbed are next to zero.

How many Christians actually do follow the bible? Less than 1%, maybe?
