But how could that be when your god doesn't make mistakes? Could it be that he just doesn't exist at all?If you are alive I can say that you have not asked sought or knocked as protrayed in Luke 11. That means if you have not received a measure of the Holy Spirit it is because you have not sought after God as perscribed.
Quote:WHAT sin? I just described a person who is selfless and does all he can to help others.We are all with sin, no exceptions. Lust, anger, white lies, gossip, wanting more for yourself, Denying the existance of God.. All are with sin.
Quote: He just doesn't believe your deity is real. And that's enough to ship him off to fire camp for eternity?Yes and rightfully so.
Quote:If your "sin" is mass murder I might agree with this statement.your judgement of sin has no bearing on what sin is. All sin have been judged equally.
Sin is not 'morality' based righteousness where 'sin' is deemed as acts against humanity.
Sin is anything not in the expressed will of God.
Quote:The "sin" of simple disbelief? Absolutely ridiculous. But then, the idea of heaven and hell are equally ridiculous.If a man says his only sin is disbelief, we can also add lying to his list.
Quote:And what of people who were born in a geographic region where they weren't exposed to your deity? Are they doomed for not believing in a god they never heard of?They are judged on what they were exposed to.
