So why not believe and spend eternity in paradise if I'm right?
Why risk it?
If you put half the effort into believing as you do into trying to prove christianity wrong, you'd be an awesome christian!
My belief is that it matters little what happens after death,

the "TRUTH" is what helps and serves us now in the present.

People need to be right and correct and we need to be certain about it and not some superficial blind faith.

We need strong and determined faith and that comes from being dead certain of what is true and correct.

And the scriptures show people how to live now in the present and now is the preparation for the after-life.

To "just believe" and "unsure blind faith" is not the right way.

Hey thats not scriptural, at all everything we do here, is paving the way for eternity. Its not about us, its about the honor and glory of God.

Mat 6:19 "Stop storing [or, treasuring] up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal,
Mat 6:20 but be storing [or, treasuring] up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
Mat 6:21 for where your* treasure is, there will your* heart [fig., inner desire] be also.

It is said in many other Bible text too but few seem to make the connection.

So did you know that is the connection of Jesus to the Chinese Bible called the Tao Te Ching?

Tao te ching = "The way of integrity book".

Tao means "the Way" and for those that research it the Tao sounds much like Christ.

2 reasons:
1) The English language changes over the years. There are words today
that have a completely different meaning than they did hundreds, even
thousands of years ago. God's Word is still inerrant, but our words need
updating from time to time. Remember Shakespearean English. Well, dost
thou? Thank God we don't speak that way any longer! (Well most of us)
2) As time goes by, we learn how to better translate from one language to
another by a deeper understanding of the meaning of some words. If you
know anything about foreign languages, you know that almost none of
them translate word for word into English. The KJV is a good example of
translation shortcomings.

It is "inclusion" because everybody is included.

Some one gives a fancy name for anything and that is another one.

The Bishop has that message correct but I do not say that he goes as far with the truth as I do.

But now it is an official doctrine.
I do believe the point was this quote given above here,

I need people to be good fathers who support their family financially and emotionally reguardless of if they live with them or not so the children of the father do not end up in jail and my tax dollars are then paying to house, clothe and feed them!
