Crawl over His dead body

One literally has to crawl over the dead body of Jesus to miss the Kingdom of Heaven.(so to speak, because He has risen.) I was amazed last night as I heard of yet another cult. I thought by now that I had heard of almost every cult. To a Christian, a cult is a group that denies the deity of Jesus (that he is fully God and fully man), and call for some kind of works or good deeds to enter Heaven. I am not even going to name this group, but apparently they took modern shape in 1991, and are based on untruths they claim were listed in the Talmud(ancient Jewish teachings). ---My question: why are people so intent on not believing in Jesus? Everything he did was out in the open. His betrayer didn't go telling a bunch of deep dark secrets from the "inner" room, because there weren't any! He killed himself, because he knew he had contributed to killing The Truth. Jesus was the real deal. He was crucified in public, and his death, burial and resurrection lined up with prophecies hundreds of years old. He was killed by a method of capital punishment that didn't even exist when those prophecies were written. Why do people strain at swallowing a gnat, and find it easier to swallow an entire camel? (someone very wise once said that) ---Listen, you will not understand absolutely everything about the Awesome God of the Universe! Concentrate on what we do know. We do know that the Old Testament pointed to Jesus, because in Him all these prophecies were fulfilled. Jesus is one of a kind! We do know that Jesus walked the earth. All the religions of the world don't know what to do with Jesus, because they cannot deny His awesomeness. What they need to do is yield to Him as Savior. He is the Way, the Truth and the LIfe and no man comes to the Father except by Him.---When given the chance to desert Jesus, Peter had this to say: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."---You can keep searching, but you'll have to crawl over Jesus to enter hell. ---Concentrate on the things you know. Stay away from religions that have secrets, and don't have windows in their building!
