How to know you are serving God
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Luke 6:35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

So you are saying hell will be a damn crowded place and God intended to make religion so confusing and chaotic as to exclude 95% of the population.
Got it. A real nugget you have there.

So if I'm not actively stoning to death people who work on the sabbath then I'm doing the anti-christs work?
Gotta say, this anti-christ fella has some pretty enlightened ideas about not killing innocent people.
Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Luke 6:35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
What converts to the christian church were required to say:
“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and
sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the
Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspersions, purifications, sanctifications
and propitiations, and fasts, and new moons, and Sabbaths,
and superstitions, and hymns and chants and observances
and synagogues, and the food and drink of the Hebrews; in one
word, I renounce absolutely everything Jewish, every law, rite
and custom….” Assemani, Cod. Lit., 1, p. 105

So you will freely lend money to anyone here who asks of you without expecting anything back?
Matthew 6:2-6
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
