There is no path to the kingdom of God - because God is always right here and right now.
God is seeing what is appearing now.
My question is, if someone says to you there are 2 part toward the life of a righteousness way of life , but the path of life leads only to one end of the life a righteousness person, yet he or she meets another person at the end of the 2 paths of life that can still enter the kingdom of God, what are your thoughts on this.

Because they want you to submit to them, pay them tithe, and only they can be the conduit between yourself and the forgiveness of a god. The put the bogey man in your heart, and tell you that only they can save you, with the words as they hold them, of a god.
Pretty good con, really... fear the afterlife if you don't submit. So you willingly submit.

That is what I've always thought.

The temple of God is at our door steps, why do most religions dont teach that.

What do you mean by the spiritual world?
Are you referring to peace of mind?

Righteousness is all about perspective. If you have a clean house its most likely because you exterminated insects & killed bacteria. Is destroying insects home in yours righteous? Is having a clean house? How is one to get to work or travel to help without using a gas powered car that suffocates the birds & bees. (Electric cars, not many people can afford them): Is it more righteous to work & establish a structure with society? Or is it more righteous to straight care for all animals? Supervised xperimentation is righteous as long as it cures. So is not torturing animals for cures. It is all about perspective. Main base though, face it, we are going to space.

Yes! We, everything, is God experiencing itself from different points of view.

Your question doesn't make any sense. So, are both paths towards the "righteousness way of life" supposed to be followed by righteous people or not? Are you suggesting that both the righteous and unrighteous are capable of entering the kingdom of God? If so, how is the unrighteous person following a "righteous way of life"?

How would having a very dirty house be justifiable or morally right? It can be I guess. Animals are all equal in their way, we are all needed for our momentary purpose for the ecosystem on a universal scale as an ant to an anteater. Automobiles are very harmful, not with just gases & the factories fumes it takes to make em but accidents or road squash. Technology is a dangerous game from a casket or the first sword to nuclear waste. It may be righteous to exterminate spiders or ants or it is even legal to kill verman, righteous does not seem to be the word for ending a life though. For food probs. not for a clean yard maybe.

Your spirit is always connected to the source.
The light that pulses in your heart is the only light you have to make it grow or shrink and let it die.
Your spirit either gets stronger or you lose it and start to fade from the inside out.
