Wonderful Description Of The Paradise In The Quran

That only to you if you did the righteous deeds !

Not by living like an animal and doing every bad thing in the world and go to the paradise with the ones who worshiped god all their life without a punishment .

P.S you know that I am Muslim and I will be in paradise with you if Islam were not the true religion anyway , since -on your say- Jesus died for the forgiveness of humanity !!

Our focus in our worship of Christ should be focused on this life, not what is to come. If one is worshiping Christ for the expectation of what's to come, how is that any different from trying to "earn" heaven? Good deeds can build faith and are the result of faith but good deed but I fail to see how they will grant salvation.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Jews, Christians, and Muslims all expecting Jesus at the end of the world? Jews are expecting the Messiah, Christians are expecting his return, and I feel like I recall something about Muslims believing Jesus will be returning during the end of the world.

I think good deeds are important in that do you truly have faith if you don't act upon it? Is it enough to just say you believe?

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the "righteous deeds" as described in the Quran. Ironically, though I have a few Muslim friends, I only have a cultural understanding of Muslims today and not so much religious.

As to the bold underlined text, I feel those touched with the conviction of God or of faith wouldn't "[live] like and animal and [do] every bad thing".

Yeah in Islam the al-Mahdi will come to establish the Kingdom of God on earth and will be aided by the prophet Jesus.

Well if James 2 is correct, then no faith alone is not enough. While faith is very important, if there are no works then faith is dead.
