I didn't say you did. I was pointing out how your words expressed the idea that those who do go to heaven do so because God's justice mandates it. This means that if you were to go to heaven, you would be trusting God's justice to send you there.
The idea of teh gospel, however, is that we throw ourselves on God's mercy.
But I'm done here. I think I've invested enough time and energy into trying to get you to simply look at the notable absence of the atoning work of Christ on the cross in your discussion of this topic. I'll go pray for you and yoru congregation now and then head off to dreamland.
See you 'round.
