Questions and Answers

2. Is there a real right or wrong?

Yes... God is the judge of what is truly wrong and what is not according to the bible. What is wrong to God is called sin. We are all accountable for our sins.

"Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin." Romans 3:19-20 

Now the law of God for sin are the Ten Commandments. Most people think of the Ten Commandments as suggestions to guide you through life. But this is not the case. If that were so, they would be called the "Ten Suggestions." 

All hope for the kingdom of heaven is not lost to sinners because all humans sin. God gave us another path through Christ Jesus.

‘‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.’’ John 3:16 

This path however still requires us to repent of our sins. No repentance equals no heaven.

"I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way." Luke 13:3 

Repentance is not just feeling bad about it...you must confess your sin and forsake (or turn away) from them in order to repent.

"He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy." Proverbs 28:13

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to God, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7
