On Hell and Forgiveness

[Whateverist]

God says quite explicitly in Genesis 6 that he will blot them out "for I am sorry that I made them."  It couldn't be any plainer than that Steve.  Action, followed by cause.  You can certainly suggest that his wiping them out was just, but God is quite clear on his motive here.

Yeah, sure, it says that. Now tell us its significance as part of the biblical narrative.

Or maybe start by making clear which possible bible narrative you'd like to support.  Extra credit if you can tell us why your preferred bible narrative is preferable.

It seems to me that a lot of luck is involved. Let's pretend I'm a Christian, and I'm the right denomination that gets to go into heaven. I have to atone for sins or else I get refused entry. I need to do this periodically, because as we all know, humans are incapable of being sinless.

So what happens if I suddenly die right after committing some minor sin, before I've had the chance to atone for it? Presumably, I'm fucked. I need to die in such a way that I have enough time to scramble for forgiveness before I pop off. If I just drop dead, or get shot in the head, then off to hell I go.

I would say that you cannot atone for your sins, so no worries.  That is why you need Christ; to be the atonement.

I wonder how frequently one needs to change their sacrifice lamb in order to maintain atonement value?
