The great I AM doesn’t want people in heaven with him who thinks that since they do what they are told most of the time they are good enough, who think God should reconsider there greatness, and accept them into heaven out of what they have made of themselves. Out of how righteous they think they have become.
First some MAXIMS.
*Christianity is not a life-long job interview where you don't know if you’re accepted till after you die. Everybody knows you can't see what an employee is like till they have been accepted for six months.
*Pride is trying to brighten up the room so the light can come in.
*Pride is a blob of mud cleaning itself before God.
*Pride says "God doesn't have to be God in these areas of me; I have done well by myself".
*The prayer of the proud. "Lord, I think I have done a good job of keeping up to high enough standards of righteousness. Although I have done all these things to show you I am better then you in these areas, I still expect full entry into heaven, more then most people. In closing I have achieved a level of outstanding humility, showing you that I am capable of loving you a lot".
*"Lord, I don't give a shit about how good you are, I'm good enough to deserve heaven".
*God doesn't want people in heaven who love how it feels to think they can live by rules better then others.
*Pharisees think the world comes down to sinners or less sinners. The truth is the world comes down to God righteous sinners or self righteous sinners.
*God doesn't want people in heaven who are good at trying to follow rules but are sniggering, criticizing, finger pointing, judgmental... Self-righteousness doesn't get in. {nor the stuck up dickhead it lives in}.

Grounded theology.
In Genesis 1 and 2 God gives endless examples of His true religion. From "let there be light" to "every seed after its kind" to examples of the ground and the seed.
No matter how hard the ground tries, it will never produce life without a seed. But this is the good news of the gospel: we are ground, and God is the seed, God's seed grows and bares fruit by His grace and power, not ours. Our Job is not to make ourselves produce righteousness, but to let God's imputed righteousness grow in us like a seed. To accept and believe that God is, and has the power to fulfill in you what He has started. Phil1:6.
Galatians 3:1,2 says "O foolish Galatians!... did you receive the spirit by works of the law, or by the hearing of faith." Gal 1:16 "knowing that a man is not justified by the law but through faith in Jesus Christ." And 5:4 "you have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace".
And 3:10 "For as many are under the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them"". And 3:24, 25 "Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
We have to stop bitterly working to pay off our salvation and believe that God is, literally, God, and stop holding His hand to reassure him of our strength. Phil-3:21 "He is able even to subdue all things to himself". As apostle Paul said in Rom 1:16, the gospel is "the power of God to salvation for anyone who believes". And "the just shall live by faith." 1:17. Faith in what? That God is God.
It’s easy to believe in a tiny little mouse of a god. But believing in the actual God is totally different. He isn’t some drunken stoned bastard, or roman goddess of lust and fantasy. He gives you freedom because that’s how it has to be. It's the pussy week religions that demand you tighten up. You may ask yourself, why would He do it. Make you relax in His acceptance and stop tying to please or trick Him.
He wants to get to your core, so you have to loosen up and just admit the truth about you and Him. It's the only way to keep the sniggerers out of heaven.
As Christians we know that we don't deserve salvation, that is, we are not good enough. Indeed we are a blob of mud trying to clean ourselves, trying to sanctify ourselves. Isaiah 64:6 says "all our righteous works are as filthy rags." We can't make ourselves acceptable to God any other way then by admitting the truth about ourselves as sinners. Like the story Jesus told in Luke 18:9-14
These things are compulsory for entrance into Heaven because, simply, God must do what God must do to keep pride out of heaven. And that means the good news of the gospel, simply believe and you will be saved. Acts 16:31.
Lemon left.
No matter how hard lesbians try, they can never enter each other. They are like toy men. Worse, "two holes making love." The theology of femoes, gays and greens are all blatantly far left. But then it is natural. If God and His "seed way" are to the right, Satan and his dirty whores are to the left. The feminine left doesn’t understand the masculine way of putting a seed into the ground, beyond gardening and conception. But that's there nature, covered in mud and dust, everything around them is dirt, but God knows which heading to follow, the one towards Him, towards the light.
"Little Lucifer" and his throng of imposed rebellion against the lesser of two evils, capitalism, all naturally hate John Howard, and George Bush, and think Israel is a ware monger er and march against war, against the forces of good defending themselves from slavery, political and religious.
Due to the left's "more compassionate" nature, they support saving the environment. And will erect a bloodthirsty tyrannical anti-capitalist socialist police state to do it. Proper care for the earth will be to adopt a "red" {blood} policy to decrease the population in size to the natural levels of the last ice age. It doesn't matter that a sharp decrease in population doesn't bode well with economics, and puts us at the mercy of other emerging powerhouses with big militaries.
Since the left is so "un-greedy," they don't mind that there plans for a better, greener world will ruin the global economy that countries {and freedom} live and breath through. They want capitalism to die and burn the country with it. They want to erect one person who is in touch with the universe to tell us all how to live better lives. They don't care about the endless bloodshed through the last century that socialism has brought wherever it has imposed. They are out to get rid of "evil capitalism" that lets people pursue there own lives through a system that isn't perfect but works quite well.
And they’ll live on social security; justifying bleeding our system dry, wanting capitalism to fail so philosopher kings can rule the world. They will look after the environment with 5:30 curfew and the end of gardening to washing, then kook and chant time. Then 9:00 lights out. All to keep people from knowing the truth, and stop Israel buying weapons. That's the left.
The entire left is the same, weather it be your religious pastor, or the collectivist, statist, Australian Labor Party {Marx's working man.} Socialists or the greens. Weather it be hippies, the gay community, pampered college Ed professors, the media, the JoHo's, Mormons, Catholics... they all would rather partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil rather then the tree of life.
The left love laws, to them laws are the air they breathe. As long as they are lining themselves up with laws, they won't be exposed by God's light. They believe, for instance, that if a person does good by abstaining from swearing, they can get away with other little evil’s, like thinking God is small and feeble and needs our help in many areas, especially righteousness.
The left try to hide there self-righteousness from God by trying to become better through the letter of God's laws. Out of the two tree paths they always chose to go left towards the tree of the knowledge about there and other people's good and evil. Like all tillers of the ground {Cain}, believing they can tip the balance of there good works over there sin with rules they find easiest to follow.
