I asked her How much of her sins did she think Christ died for? She said all of them. Not 30-40% of them? No, all of them. So if Jesus died for 100% of her sins, how much was left for her to pay for? Matea said zero. So if she had no sins left to pay for, how sure could she be that she would go to heaven? She said “100% I suppose”. I said that she didn’t sound very confident about that, and that tells me that her faith really wasn’t in Jesus, it was mostly Jesus and some of herself. And as soon as Jesus becomes number two or three or whatever, saving grace is forfeited.

Unfortunately, his sarcasm took the better of him. I asked him if he had any thoughts on the afterlife, and he said yes, but they were nothing to do with me. I said I would like to hear his thoughts about if he would make it to heaven or not. He said he would, but not via anything I would know about. His sarcasm was the sort that could escalate quickly, so I wished him well on Judgement Day and left him to it.
