We have to Be perfect in order to make heaven

So considering 1 John 3:2, it says we are sons of God right now. In other words, we don't have to die to know that we are God's children. Do you think God would send his children who have born of Him to hell?

You also said "no human knows". How did Paul know that a crown was waiting for him if he couldn't even know whether he was perfect enough to make it to heaven?

2 Tim 4
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Enlighten moi!

He didn't know. He was speaking in faith. He found out if he was right, after he died. (Or he will, come judgment day. Depending.) He may be saying "Lord, Lord, didn't I write most of the New Testament?"

Seems a little off topic, doesn't it?

Briefly, while I could say there are things I "don't believe" about Jesus (and a lot of other things), I prefer to say that I am skeptical. About what, specifically? Everything.
