Why I should go to Paradise

This is for all the Religious types out there imagine you die suddenly and have not had time to repent everything you may have done, you meet your creator and he asks two simple questions which must be answered truthfully for you to attain Paradise, 1st question is why should you get into paradise? 2nd question is why should you not be allowed entrance to Paradise? Please answer question 1 under yes and question 2 under no. I thought this could be interesting and a good excerise in self introspection, you never know we might learn something about each other. I won't go first as I don't want to influence anyone's answers.

I answered that. The no side right?

Side: Yes

Ive never commited any major crime nor have i ever dont a bad thing simply for the desire to do bad. Im a moral person who generally gives before taking and respects my fellow man whilst also believing in the good in people instead of being negative all the time. Reguardless of what my beliefs may be, i reached them by using the mental power and intelligence i was given in the most logical way i could to reach the most honest conclusions i could about the world around me.

I should be allowed in Heaven because I repented for being a sinner and accepted Jesus Christ as my God, Lord, Savior, and Friend. I alone am not good enough, but since I trust in the work of my Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, I am saved. :D

Side: Yes

I expect nothing from people. ;)

Side: Yes

I should be allowed because I know Paradise is a beautiful place.

There is nothing I have done to deserve paradise. You, Lord God, are purely Holy and are unable to look upon sin. All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. I have sinned and come short of the glory of God. My only hope is if my sins were put on Jesus Christ so that He may suffer my Hell for me, making me clean in your Holy eyes. Of a truth, if I die without Jesus, I will not be accepted in the beloved. If the Lord Jesus calls my name during my life on earth, I will receive salvation. Once I pass through the valley of the shadow of death, my time for salvation has ended.

Because I lived as a good person trying to follow the enlightened example set by a compassionate and loving god.

Side: Yes

I didn't live my life according to what the creator said we should do to get into paradise.

Side: No

Apparently my mental reasoning led me astray as to not blindly accept the baseless claims of others as i did not believe such a place, or possibly a deity, existed. Reguardless of the motive behind them, ive lied and stolen and done other bad things.

Side: No

If I have aught of my sins upon me, even humanly speaking the smallest of sins, I am worthy of eternal damnation. God is Holy and Just far beyond human comprehension. My only hope is that God laid my sins upon His only Son Jesus Christ and that Jesus suffered my Hell for me. Only then will my sins be paid for already so that I may not have to. If this has not happened, I will endure the eternal wrath of God for my sinful nature. Every imagination of the thoughts of my heart is only evil continually.

Because I as God's imperfect creation did not follow some petty and arbitrary rule and somehow that's more important than whether or not I tried to live in the example God had set.

Side: No
