"GOOD" people go to HELL; while BAD people CAN go to HEAVEN!
"GOOD" people go to HELL; while BAD people CAN go to HEAVEN!

WHAT???
Here is the reason...You can NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH to make it to HEAVEN on your OWN OR in the way YOU think is RIGHT! YOU WERE BORN BAD! Somebody else had to BE GOOD enough FOR YOU!
"For I was born a sinner--yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. ... Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me." Psalms 51: 5
"Good" people who think their righteousness is what saves them go to Hell unjustified before God, while "Bad" but forgiven people who repent and renounce their sins go to Heaven because they have been justified before God through repentance and faith in Christ! That's why JESUS said, "You MUST be BORN AGAIN, from ABOVE" because we all were born bad on THIS EARTH due to Adam's sin! It's in our blood line! (John 3: 3) But through the NEW BIRTH we inherit a NEW Blood Line in Christ JESUS who SHED HIS BLOOD for the forgiveness of ALL and EVERYONE'S SINS who will repent, confess and believe JESUS CHRIST ALONE is SAVIOR and LORD!
"All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us ..." Isaiah 64: 6
"None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless...they don't fear God" ...Therefore, God will not justify any human being by means of the actions prescribed by the Law, for through the Law comes the full knowledge of sin." Romans 3: 10-12 & 18 & 20
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy HE saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" Titus 3: 5
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Ephesians 2: 8
"The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, "O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people...thieves, dishonest, adulterers or even this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income. But the the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, smote upon his breast, saying, "God be merciful to me a sinner that I am." I tell you this man rather than the other one went down to his home justified because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 18: 11-14
"It's not merely those who 'hear' the Law who are righteous in God's sight, but those who 'follow the Law who will be justified." Romans 2: 13...note that Paul isn't talking about the Old Covenant Law but the Law of Christ...i.e., repentance from sin and DEAD works; faith in JESUS' work on the cross ALONE and DOING what He says to do by following the Law of Love upon which all the law and prophets depends...Matthew 22: 36-40
