No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

[Drich]

And how am I supposed to "love" a being that has never communicated with me in any way? You might as well say I should "love" Harry Livingston of Toledo, Ohio.

god communicates to all who simply ask, seek and knock as outlined in luke 11. He will customize a response to you that only you will recognize and understand.

So I could be a doctor who spends his time traveling the world to bring free medical care to people living in poverty; I could provide scholarships so poor kids can go to college; I could build shelters for homeless people; I could organize relief efforts for people who have been displaced by natural disasters; and for doing all these things I could win awards, medals and have statues built in my honor. But if I don't love your deity I'm doomed to hell working in a firepit next to Hitler?

Yes, without question, yes..

This REALLY makes sense to you?

Yes, why? Because all of the good things you have done can not take away your sin. Sin is the amomination that will not allow you into heaven. Nothing else matters. If you have not accepted the attonement offered for your sin then all of your best works are like dirty rags to God because of your sin. (The orginal script describes it best by illustarting your good deeds as a white linen cloth corrupt by the blood of a menstral cycle/sin. this is what is simply translated as 'dirty rags' in the english bible)


Isaiah 64:6

New International Version (NIV)



6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

Paul in Phili 3 re uses this illustration to express all of his good deeds as well.

Why because God does not work or count good deeds for anything. Because good deeds do not cancel out sin. Only the blood of Christ wipes sin away.

Because the questions most of you asked are based on an incorrect paradyme. Let me ask you this. Who is most likely to have a better understanding of Christianity. The Christian or the one who professes there is no God?

The one who professes there is no God.

Then why argue with the one who knows God if you truly know better?
