Quote:Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh with the express purpose of dying in probably the worst possible way one can die. To pretend as though He is simply a sadist is a very foolish argument to make.Pagan fiction.
Quote:I'm not sure I understand what you mean by lashes and mulligans. There are no "do-overs." You receive lashes you need or deserve, nothing less and nothing more. We're held accountable for all of our actions, and while He is merciful in the severity of the lashes, our sins are not forgotten until they are forgiven, and they're not forgiven until we've paid our last pennies. That's justice: no one ever gets away with anything.Good to know that you think everyone deserves to die. That's a great way to establish that you understand peoples objections to hell.
Perhaps you're in the camp that believes you've not done anything very wrong? Perhaps you're one who doesn't believe he is a sinner, or at least not one who deserves to die? You would be wrong there. We all deserve to die.
