pop morality

[Drich]

I will break it down into sections. let me know which section you are having trouble understanding

---

1)God set an impossible standard. (the law) Jesus extended that standard to include thought.(mat 5) So now we have an impossible standard squared to earn righteousness (the right to goto heaven) by our works.

2)God knowing Heaven would be empty, then provided a way to obtain righteousness (the right to goto heaven) apart from following the law/Earning righteousness through our actions.

3) This alternative is call atonement. Atonement can not be earned by what we do, we must accept it on God's terms.
3a.)The only terms are to accept Christ who died to provide this atonement (respect the one who paid for this atonement, with his own blood.)
3b.) Repent or turn your heart from loving sin (not altogether stop sinning, but simply learn to hate it.)
3c.) forgive others and He has forgiven you.

4) which brings us back to the law. We need the law in it's completed form to simply identify sin, so we can repent of it.
4a.)All Morality justifies sin. or takes and hides the fact that sin is present in certain actions, so 'we' can believe that we are still 'good people' by the right of our actions/deeds, when in fact we are not.
4b) If we justify our sin, we will never repent of it. For instance if pop morality says Homosexuality is ok or if infanticide/abortion is ok, and in your mind you are still a 'good person' because you have lived with in the values of 'morality' then we/you will not ever repent/turn from our sin.

5)God knows we are all slaves to sin and will never stop sinning (Romans 6,7 and chapter8 detail all of this) which is again why He provided atonement.

6) God is forgiving of all sin, but will not abide Evil.
6a)Romans 1 and 2 define sin and evil.
6b) Evil is love for sin or the justification of sin. It has nothing to do with severity of sin before God. an Evil person before God could be a little old lady who loves and justifies her gossip. While we have little to no control over sin God wants us to turn from evil.
6c) Morality in all forms (Christian or pop) is the justification of sin, in essence All Morality is a form of evil or it protects societal accepted evil. Which again keeps us from repentance.

7) that is why we still have the law. Not to live by as a moral standard but to help us identify sin and keep us from evil.

Again I tried to break it all down just tell me which numbered section you are having trouble with.

Oh, now THAT's piece-of-cake easy!!  Thanks Drippy-Doodle!  Aside from those moronic 7 but actually 15 idiotic statements you spewed onto the thread, it boils down to this:  I can't figure out why you think your imaginary friend exists, and why you actually bother to quote that hideous evil book of fairy tales you worship and jack off into.  And I can't for the life of me imagine WHY you would think any other living being would need to be insulted by telling them about your harvey-gawd and its wholly babble.

So you now understand? Is this safe to assume because you are now fishing for another way to dismiss me?

To answer your next question:
Because God manifests Himself via the Holy Spirit into the lives of His followers. I know God exists because i have received the gift of the Holy Spirit which has richly blessed and changed my life. God has given me opportunity and the ability to take advantage of opportunity that I otherwise would never receive. Not to mention God has opened my eyes, ears and Heart, through my personal efforts in study and in my life experience in such a way as to be able to fully understand His nature in such away as to be able to break down concepts like 'the gospel according to Paul/Book of romans' to just 15 statements that most wanting to understand can at least now grasp. Again all apart from outside 'religious' teaching or influence.

Why do I share? because I have been given this 'gift' and am required to use it to the glory of God.
