A Canadian news report into a website called Heaven’s Registry tells us that for a mere twenty dollars we can have “guaranteed admission into heaven.” The certificate is also available for “cherished pets” at a cost of fifteen dollars. The website warns that only God knows which faults will keep us out of heaven, but, having raised the spectre of uncertainty, it promises that with this one hundred percent guaranteed heavenly admission certificate, there is now “no need for confessions or penance.” Although the police consider this a scam they admit that it would be pretty difficult to prove that it won’t work.
However I’d sooner believe the Bible which says: ‘Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What people plant is what they’ll harvest.’ The only thing that ultimately counts is our faith in God’s love and forgiveness.
