Knowing everything and allowing evil

[chi pan]

What do you need forgiveness for? For the sin you have commited. Everyone has to pray for forgiveness of sin to be forgiven. Whether you've lied, cheated, stolen, or whatever. In fact, Jesus was the first to impose "don't even think about it" morality. He said "you have been told though shalt not kiss but I say unto you if you hate your brother, you have already commited murder.

Christianity a cult? Look up the definition. It's a perversion of a major religion. Christianity is a major religion so it can't be a cult. Some cults of christianity would include Mormons and such. I don't think you thinking these beliefs are ignorant results in rejection of God. I believe you rejecting God results in thinking the beliefs are ignorant.

My metaphor of a child throwing a tantrum is entirely relevant to the issue. To God, you are ignorant as a child. He still demands respect like a child does.

I know it's hard to understand that forgiveness is free. Many Christians struggle with that concept but this is how he shows the love you claim he lacks.
