The question is what is good, and who decides the standard of good? My personal conviction is no one, without Christ, can be good enough to save themselves. But because of Christ we don't have to be; we just have to accept His gift.And here is where I was coming from in my disagreement with Flightsimmer:
So if a person keeps commandments 5-9 (maybe 10), doesnt lie, cheat, treats others with respect, etc they are not good people (in a secular context) because they also dont keep commandments 1-4?
With that said:
It isn't my job (thankfully) to put anyone in Heaven or Hell. It's just my job to be a light and source of grace to other people.
