Answer: “He Who fulfilled The Prophecies told us that one group of people is in Heaven! ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’ (John 15:14).”

We cannot be among His ‘obedient friends’ at Judgment if we willfully choose to disobey This, or Any Word, from Him: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates o of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’ (Mt:16:18-29)”
