..same old .. so called "religious people" telling others who is going to heaven and who is not.
I don't fall for that one any more .. satan is a liar!
I don't have the slightest idea who is going to heaven, and I am not even sure that I will be there. You see, I don't mind dealing in truth. It does not matter what any of us believe, none of us are sure, we are read men produced books. There is no factual evidence to say that your Quran came from God. There is more evidence that the Bible did come from God because of the Miracles. But since there have only been a few dead people who came back to life and they are long since dead again, we are in the dark to a certain extent. I have studied most of the main stream religions and have to make a choice. Yes, Satan is the great deceiver. And yet you are so sure that Muhammad was not deceived. You have the witness of one man, I have over 30 witnesses in 66 different books all saying the same thing. That there is a God and He is one God and has never had any partners. We must worship only Him and listen to what He says. The god of Muhammad is just to simple to be the Creator of the universe.
He hasn't "forced it" on me.
I "knocked" 45 years ago, and that was the answer.
At least I know for sure that you have the ability to lie and deceive. I never "knocked" and it certainly wasn't 45 years ago. It was 39 years ago and you would never understand the answer since you reject God. God is the one who changes the heart of a person, not your religious self works. God does it for any sincere person who asks.
Your eyes will be blind to even this teaching.
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Romans 10:8 But what does it say?
“THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
13 for “
WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
