"If you wish to explore this further, just fire away."

I will, and thanks for your response. When you respond it will frequently lead to other questions on issues that in my view seem inconsistent or present a contradiction. Your explanation of the how the "virtuous" person has a more difficult time getting to heaven makes sense to me. But it seems inconsistent that a God that is good and perfect would condemn people based on them making an incorrect decision (by not believing Jesus is the son of God). That seems mean (for lack of a better word), and counter to what a loving God would do. It also seems inconsistent that a perfect God would create such imperfect beings. It obviously would not be that he is incapable of making perfection, but there are instances in the Bible that indicate that he made major mistakes. The floods that lead to wiping out all human kind except for Noah and his wife is the biggest example. Kind of an "oops", let's start over with this whole human experiment. Would a perfect God do that?
