Prayer ... SERIOUSLY?!

God ceased divine revelation with the death of the apostles'

Convenient.

Agreed. Let's face it, I'm pretty certain every Christian is guilty of thought crime, so they are all fucked as well. Actually given how poor their arguments can be, I doubt they are capable of thought crime. Thankfully magic sky genocidal maniac doesn't likely exist.

Why do you forget or ignore the fact that a Christian is someone who by definition has had Christ atone for all of their sins? So they are not “doomed” at all.

So you can murder without worrying because Christ has saved you from your sins already. Kinds shits in your argument about Mao and Stalin murdering millions because they were atheists, when you could do the same and Christ will forgive you!

No, like I was saying earlier, once a person receives saving grace their whole life changes. They begin to do their best to follow the teachings of Christ and living an obedient life. Everyone slips up and makes mistakes; everyone has thoughts that are sinful. A Christian still struggles with these things, but that is just it, it is a struggle. Someone who murders and kills others because they think they have a ‘get out of jail free card’ obviously is not displaying the genuine faith and good works that are a result of saving grace. Do I know for sure who is and is not part of the elect? Not at all, but scripture does give us some signs we’d expect to see from someone who has been saved.
