None are without sin, meaning the our population of Heaven will be all Sinners. The people who will be sent to Hell are unrepentant in their sin. That's an important distinction. The population of Heaven and hell will have people who have commited the act same acts all their lives. The only difference the population of Hell turned from God and the atonement He offers.
Quote:so the god of your bible created evil put his innocent creations in a world he allowed to be corrupted by evil and allowed the people to be deceived by evil and sin and then is going to judge them for sinning and being decieved by the evil that he put here ...Maybe read Genesis 1..God did not create an Evil world nor did he put man into one. We welcomed it with open arms. What was done in the garden is repeated in each and every one of our lives. Meaning we (according to Paul/Romans 1-2) select Evil or decide to repent of our sin
ok go on
I bolded a portion of jenny's post for emphasis, because in my mind, it's a million dollar question...because therein lies the ruse, the shakedown and the straight-up con that theists desperately attempt to gloss over or avoid altogether: The Biblical God made mankind sick, by willfully cursing all of humanity with a sinful nature. A sinful nature so pervasive and foul, that not even a newborn infant can escape its filthy stench.
The God character didn't have to do this. He wanted to and He chose to. God created the the mechanism for humans to have the capacity, tendency, drive, desire, and inherent longing to do dirty, dirty things. And then provides a way for us to be and clean. Wasn't that swell of Him? How fucking magnanimous of Him, to allow to us to participate in what can only be defined as a protection racket.
The Biblical concept of sin is so ridiculously stupid, that it's obviously made-up, as far as I'm concerned. If it were somehow proven to be true, is there any reason to wonder why non-believers wouldn't be lining up to worship a mob boss?
