RKD-EK9 makes getting into Heaven sound like a video game. It is mangas like this that remind me to appreciate the reassurances I find in the Bible - verses like...
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
And
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. (Verses from New International Version Bible)
In one regard, the RKD-EK9 is right. Most every religion recognizes the fact that as imperfect people, one lifetime is not long enough to earn sufficient "virtue points" to get into Heaven (although, more accurately, it is the accumulation of 'sin points' that keep you out), but thankfully the manga is wrong regarding entrance into Heaven and its current occupancy rate. For those who believe and accept Him as their Lord, Christ gives them his own "points" (or, rather, you might say He offers to trade their 'sin points' for His unlimited 'virtue points') to enter in with, and people are accepting Him every day. This means Heaven is still "open", and there will be lots of company there :) And if the Bible is right, Hell is not someplace you want to visit.
