You are not serious on this, are you? Otherwise, I am really wondering what kind of a picture you have of Jesus. I mean, we are humans and that's why we have to fail in trying to be like Jesus - What is asked of us as Christians is to try to be as "Jesus-like " as possible, but failing doesn't mean necessarily that we drive right into hell....
Not even the Pope in Rome would write something like that.

This was a quote I was using to synically giving a picture of the mind frames of Christians in the church. This is the belief of a lot of people that if you cannot complete the task of becoming as Christlike as possible, you will not be accepted into the gates of heaven. This is one truism my friend in the majority of churches. Now it is up to us to decide whether our teachings of Christ comes totally from the church or partically from the church and fully from GOD. He speak louder than any preacher and can deliever like no other.

Amen
