Michael Bloomberg has earned his way into heaven

[Sparko]

“I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.”

Well huh.

[KingsGambit]

Yes, because if there's one thing God cares about, it's banning large sodas.

[Sparko]

I especially liked the part about "IF there is a God"

His words remind me of Matt 7:
Matthew 7:22-24

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not campaign against guns in your name, and in your name ban unhealthfully large servings of soda?"

Bloomberg will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did I not campaign against guns in my own name, and in my own name ban unhealthfully large servings of soda?"

Fixed it fer ya.

What would be Jesus' response?

Arrogance is a sin, and Bloomberg said "IF there is a God" which means he doesn't even believe nor has he accepted Jesus as his savior. Jesus' response will be the same as with anyone else who has not accepted him as their Savior and is relying on God's grace and mercy to enter the Kingdom. If someone thinks they have earned their way into heaven, then they will also be judged for their sins.

But Bloomberg is still alive and has time to repent and come to Jesus.

Very correct. Does he even realize how ARROGANT and full of hubris that comment was?

[Darth Xena]

Creaturely self-deceit.

Sorry, I never knew you, depart from me forevermore....

Hey, it's New Yawk!

[Truthseeker]

IF, repeat IF, he did get into heaven, he'd be kicked out PDQ.

People should be able to smoke and drink soda at their leisure. Now go away.
