A Thread on a Christian Internet Discussion Board

 On June 10, 2015, this question was posted on a Christian Internet discussion board:

                    If you died, why should God let you into heaven?

And on that date, a member's who's moniker is "doorknocker"  replied:


If God asked me,   why should I let you into heaven?

My answer would be,

Father you have no choice, because.....

You came to me and quickened my heart to seek you.

With the last trumpet call for my life, You declared my transgressions against YOU.

It is YOU that granted me repentance.

It is YOU that raised me from the dead, to be born again of imperishable seed, through Your living and
abiding Word, through Christ.

It is You that shed Your Love upon me and caused me to know You.

It is You that chose to reveal Your Son (Christ) in me.

It is You that caused me to walk in righteousness before You, through your Son.

It is You that set me free from the demonic powers in my life, it is You that set me free from being of
the world.

It is You that raised me up to heavenly places to be with You.

It is You that said that You would never leave me or forsake You,

so my Lord You have no choice, because You cannot break Your promise, as You are the Almighty and
have purchased and redeemed me with Your blood, I am Yours.

And this was my response later that day:


I do not think that God would ever ask a person that question. Heaven is His domain and He either allows you in or He doesn't. He already knows your life's experiences and the choices that you've made. I found this to be a very odd question.

Also, I found one person's response beginning with the words, "Father you have no choice, because....."  to be a response that would be the very last possible response in my mind. To tell the Creator of the Universe and the entire human race, "Father you have no choice, because....."? 

I'd be ready to quickly dodge lightning bolts after saying something like that to my Creator.

But that's just me.  I guess it's just natural for Catholics to have a little humility instilled within them.
