We are all pilgrims on a journey through life. Jesus taught us the way, and we should follow that path because it is not only the best one for us, but for all creation. it is not about salvation or rewards or punishment if we fail. It is about doing what we know to be right. Maybe people who do not follow that path steadfastly do not end up where they hope.
We have no Idea, where either path leads, no one has come back to tell us.
We only know what we have been told, by people who came before us, who also had no more idea than us.
At the start of "Christianity" some of them wrote the books of the Bible and still others compiled it.
There is no certainty, only Faith and Hope.
The fruits of the various religions are very strange indeed, none are consistently Good, nor wholly Evil.
But guided by the Holy Spirit and the teachings of Jesus, we have a head start to the right direction.
In the end it is between God and each of Us... Just as it is now.
