Questions for "Our Role(s) as Christians on Atheist Forums"

[A Theist]

Mess with original sin and the point of Jesus sacrifice to placate Himself becomes meaningless.  Fundamental pillar of the faith it is.

Of course, these days, everything is on the table.  I remain A-FUCKING-MAZED how much theology has been renegotiated with God/Jesus/Holy Ghost just during my lifetime.  Hard to hear the phrase "Eternal and Changeless God" with out chuckling now.  Probably something God Himself is embarrassed about . . . .

There was no renegotiating on our part, Reverend. It was God, not us, who established both covenants and then said that He would do away with one to establish a new one. In the Old Testament God foretold that He was going to do just that. 

Jeremiah 31:31-34  (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
