You wrote "just try to be a good person and it'll all fall into place." Being a "good" person will not make things ok. Anyone who believes that is just kidding themself. If being a good person would make everything ok, there wouldn't be empty lives asking questions about the purpose of life. No matter how good a person seems to be, there is always something not good. We're human. We're not perfect. But Jesus is perfect and accepting His sacrifice is the only thing that can cover our imperfections. THEN serving Him with our good deeds counts.

KillingFrost answered Monday December 26 2005, 6:51 am: That is your opinion and perfectly acceptable. You have the right to believe whatever you consider to be true. I maintain that same right... and what I believe differs from what you believe... which is fine... I accept my imperfections, I ponder my existance and the purpose of life... and I firmly believe that God (not jesus or Buddha or Mohamed) is the Immanent Will to serve and is all forgiving and all loving...Take what you will from what I say, I'm not trying to tell you your religion or faith is wrong... you asked a question open to all answers and the responce I gave was how I have come to understand it.
Luck to you
