I thought Jesus could have no equal? If god judges us compared to Jesus, that means no-one would get into heaven because he has no equal.
If we actually can be an equal to what Jesus was, then how does that make Jesus so special?

How can you have equality when you don't put yourself on the same level as others? I get what you're trying to say, but holding yourself below others means you are inferior, and when you feel inferior you are easily manipulated.

I have a somewhat paranoid theory about this hyper-spirituality which you have espoused.
Ultimately there is a verse at the end of proverbs that is good advice; that you not be so rich as to say "who is God" or be so poor as to be tempted to steal.
Few are those who walk our path
for they don't understand
How we obey the word of god
And not the word of man.

So you do not want to be where he isn't, a.k.a. you don't want to go to hell, which is why you want to go to heaven.
Thanks for clearing that up. Deny it all you want but if you want to be where Jesus is then by default, you do not want to be where he isn't which is in hell.
Well, sure. What Christian wouldn't want to be where Jesus is?? Lol. But don't make the incorrect statement that Christians "fear" Hell. Before conversion we didn't believe in it, now that we are saved we do not come under condemnation. (Romans 8:1). I suppose Muslims might fear Hell or Jehovah's witnesses. There is no such thing as assurance of salvation in those belief systems.
