How to Get to
Heaven (According to Jesus !)
Dear brothers and sisters,
Many people in the Gospel asked that very
same question directly to Jesus and let's see what the reply was;
"And behold, one came up to him,
saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal
life?"
"And he said to him, "Why do you ask me
about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter
life, keep the commandments."Matthew 19:16-17
Here according to Jesus, to enter Heaven,
we follow the commandments.
A question to the Christians is: why would
Jesus mislead this man if the 'only way to heaven was through
the blood of Jesus'?
Was Jesus misleading this man by teaching
that Works will open the Gates of Heaven?
"Blessed are those who are persecuted
for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Matthew 5:10
Here Jesus says that Martyrs will go to
Heaven, those who die and suffer for a good cause will go to
Heaven.
Is Jesus again being misleading since all
Christians claim that the one and only way to Heaven is through
the blood of Jesus as the church teaches.
Here again a Lawyer asked the Important
Question, How to enter Heaven;
And behold, a lawyer stood up to put
him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus said "What is written in the law?
How do you read?"
And he answered, "You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as
yourself."
And he said to him, "You have answered
right; do this, and you will live."Luke 10:25-28
The lawyer asked the teacher Jesus how to
have eternal life and Jesus replied "Read"... "The Law"..... "Obey the Law"
believe in God and love your neighbor.
Why in front of all these people would
Jesus not tell them the so-called only way that the Christians of today are saying 'no
way to heaven except through the blood of Jesus', why would
Jesus contradict today's Christians?
Are Christians freed from the Law as the
modern Christians teach?
"Whoever then relaxes one of the least
of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least
in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."Matthew 5:19
Why would Jesus Teach this if he came so
that his blood can relax the Law, why is it when he was on
earth, he Taught Not to Relax the Law? And Those who follow the
Laws will be the Highest in Heaven.
"Not every one who says to me, 'Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is
in heaven."Matthew 7:21
Salvation according to some Christians
comes from taking Jesus as your god and accepting the claimed
blood sacrifice, while on the Other Hand, Jesus seems to be
saying the Opposite. Why is that? Aren't Christians supposed to
follow the Teachings of Jesus,
As far as Salvation is concerned, Muslims
are following the Teachings of Jesus, why haven't the Christians
started yet ?
"For whoever does the will of my Father
in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Mark 3:35)
If Jesus is god, why would he claim that who ever follows the
Commandments would be the brother or mother of god ? Does god
have a mother of brother?
"Jesus said to him, "If you would be
perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow me."Matthew 19:21
Giving to directly to the Poor, one of the
5 Pillars of Islam, Jesus is Teaching Piety to Enter Heaven.
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of God."Matthew 19:24
This Verse was very revealing to me, Jesus
is repeatedly saying, a rich man will not enter Heaven.
Some Christians of today claim that Jesus
died for all sins, yet Jesus repeatedly taught that greed will
prevent you from entering Heaven. What about those Christians
who are rich? Aren't they saved according to the 10% collecting
church?
Now according to the church and Christians
of modern day, 'who ever believes in the blood of Jesus and
accepts Jesus as god, then that is the only way that person is
saved, not through works.
Now let's see if Jesus again contradicts
the church;
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who
hears my word and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life; he
does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."John 5:24
It is Clear that according to Jesus the
way to Heaven is to believe in God (who Sent Jesus) and to hear
(follow) the words of Jesus.
Does Jesus want us to believe in his blood
Or to believe that he is from God?
"Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of
life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes
in me shall never thirst. John 6:35
Therefore Jesus is Telling them that if
they believe in him (While he was Alive) that they will receive
paradise.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who
believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do,
because I go to the Father."John 14:12
Truly, Honestly, I give you my Word Jesus
Says: the Human who does Works as I do (Jesus followed the Laws of Moses) then that
human will follow me to the Father (God).
"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I
am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life."John 8:12
What does a light do? it guides, directs,
it shows you the Right Path, A light does not symbolize one to
be sacrificed, but instead, one to Guide.
All Muslims believe in Jesus
"There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will
believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection
he will be a witness against them"Qur'an 4:159
Therefore I am Puzzled as to why Jesus
would name off all these specific Teachings and Keys to enter Heaven except the one that
the Christians teach (his blood).
According to Jesus, Muslims are blessed
and will be in Heaven because they believe God sent Jesus and they follow works, I
pray that Christians will at least follow the words of Jesus and
may "his teachings" lead them to Truth.
" But those among them who are
well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what
hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee:
And (especially) those who establish regular prayer and practise
regular charity and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: To
them shall We soon give a great reward."
{Translation of the Holy Qur'an 4:162}
This is not to say that we can work our
way into Heaven which is a common misunderstanding of Christians
towards Islam.
This is to clarify that we can not Faith
our way directly into Heaven which is a common misunderstanding
of Christians towards Christianity.
It is said well by Jesus's younger brother
and disciple (James) who said;
"Faith without works is Dead"{Jas 2:26}
And then the Truth is confirmed in the
Holy Qur'an:
"..But the prayer of those without Faith
is nothing but (futile wandering) in (mazes of) error! " {Holy Qur'an 40:50}
"For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any
others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if
they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their
mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without
Faith is in vain." {Holy Qur'an 13:14}
