Bible Note: Hi, Lanny; I hope I'm not piling on here, but this statement troubled me: "Only those that do the will of the Father shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.... God's will is ... that we sin no more" Are you saying that admission to Heaven is dependent on sinning no more? If so then it seems to me that Heaven will be populated exclusively by people who professed their faith in Jesus and dropped dead on the spot. I know I won't make it; I don't know anyone who will.
