Your not going to tell me that "nations" ARE the nations of our world right?

Christians: Do you believe Jesus is the only way?
by sabastious ini was walking around town and a guy on a bike comes up to and shoves a cardboard bum sign in my face with "jesus is the only way" written in classy sharpy marker.. check out this scripture:.
john 14: 6 - jesus answered, "i am the way and the truth and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me.. according to this scripture the guy's sharpy message was correct.. do you believe this message?.

Revelations does speak of two resurrections. One for those who belong to Him... (the firstfruits) who have no fear of judgment. And the second for those people who are judged according to their deeds. (in whatever, and however manner, this is)
Why not just judge everyone according to their deeds?

who are the nations mentioned here?
The identity of the "nations" are relative to what it's surrounding scriptual context is.
Before I can figure out what the "nations" are I first need to figure out:
1. Why God and a Lamb are a temple
2. What the "moon and the sun" are
3. What the "glory of God" is referring to
4. What the Lamb's lamp is
5. Who are the "kings of the earth"
If I can answer those questions, then I can tackle who the "nations" are.

Tec, you took my family first statement too literally.
If my family becomes dangerous they go by the wayside. Putting God first is what gives life to destructive behaviours.
Let me rephrase:
God and Family are equal because God is love and I love my family.

Question for you, what do you have against Revelation, and who are the nations mentioned here?
The Apocalypse of John is a book that has been used widely as a tool of control and fear-mongering long before you or I came into this world. It is not easily understood (and I suspect that was purposeful) and, in my experience, is a "go to book" for Bible Congruence arguments since it's imagery is so broad that it can used to tie up any argument one wants.
Let me look at that scripture to answer the next question.

So let me get your point straight tec:
There are two ways to be "of Christ."
1. Accepting Christ as your Lord and saviour.
2. Helping or acting kindly to one of Christ's Disciples.
yes?

Matt: 10: 37-42: 37 "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41 Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
^ What does the bolded text mean?
I'm trying to figure out the context here:
Anyone who helps out a follower of Jesus (Prophets and Rightous ones) will be rewarded the same reward of the Prophets and the Rightous? And if anyone gives a cup of water to the ones that helped the Prophets and the Rightous will be a beneficiary as well?
