Millions hope to earn heaven by doing their best. But the Bible says our best will never be good enough:
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags… Isaiah 64:6
Are you an atheist?

Isaiah didnt even know you and I, he was speaking bout a specific people in a specific time.

Yup, all fiction. So lemme get this straight...I do my best for someone, and it's not good enough and I still go to hell. And the point of worshipping someone like that would be...what? You're not doing a very good job of explaining yourself. If I was God, I'd be really disappointed that you're turning so many people off from wanting to worship him.

The Bible also says the opposite, so which is the truth?

Many people mistakenly believe they have gotten away with sin because they have not yet felt its consequences. The fact is, sin just isn't finished with them yet.
God's Word declares, "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), and God's Word is always right. In the end, nobody gets away with sin.

How many wars have Christians partaken in? How many have they slaughtered in Jesus' name?
How many Taoist wars have been started? How war like are Buddhist cultures today? How many wars are Taoists and Buddhists in right now?
Your Christian President has slaughtered untold thousands at the alter of your false god.
You must simplify your life Hibiscus....
If we could discard knowledge and wisdom
Then people would profit a hundredfold;
If we could discard duty and justice
Then harmonious relationships would form;
If we could discard artifice and profit
Then waste and theft would disappear.
Yet such remedies treat only symptoms
And so they are inadequate.
People need personal remedies:
Reveal your naked self and embrace your original nature;
Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;
Forget your habits and simplify your affairs. -

Adam and Eve's sin caused two results.
First, they were driven out of the Garden of Eden. God still loved them but would not allow sin to remain in His presence.
Secondly, their sin was passed down to every person ever born
