Edited on Mon Dec-07-09 08:55 PM by underpants
it is a "purchase" if I remember correctly

Is it better to follow (either the church or faith) and not live as you want
OR
Is it better to not follow the church and risk not going to heaven

Or maybe it was -- doing what you are told to do to get to heaven vs. not doing it and risking not going to heaven

Something like that

Any help is greatly appreciated.
