No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

[Drich]

Ah, yes... the old "You have never sought out God" bullshit. For the first 2+ decades of my life I was a believer. I prayed and sought out this deity you speak of. I NEVER received any sort of reply.

Seeking God is not a one time effort. Knocking is something you are to do the rest of your life. I am not in a position to stop knocking. Paul sought God up to the day of his death, and taught others to do the same. A life lived seeking God is a life well spent.

Anger is a "sin"?

Anger/wrath according to Christ is the same as Murder.

Gossip is a "sin"?

We are told that Gossip is one of the sins God hates the most.

Wanting more for yourself is a "sin"?

This sin is apart of the 10 commandments. In that we are not to covet anything.

Sounds like it's a sin to be human.

Which is Exactly why one needs to seek attonement.

It's strange that after 20 years of 'christianity/seeking' you did not know these things were not only sin, but some of the biggest sins a man can commit...

By your criteria, Gandhi is burning in hell. This is your idea of "rightfully so"?

If Gandhi knew what God expected of him and turned his back on God then yes. Why? Because 'good works' do not cancel out sin. Nothing can attone for sin outside the blood of Christ. If you know this then you will be held responsiable to it, no matter what 'good/dirty rag' work you think you have done.

Well, if all sin is judged equally, I might as well kill people I don't like as opposed to just gossiping about them., It's all the same, right?

To God yes, to the soceity you live in no. For soceity tells us one 'sin' will get you raped in prision for the rest of your life and the other will have your grandmother buy you lunch.

Then if I was born into a civilization that prayed to volcanoes and practiced human sacrifice, I'd be okay because that's "what I was exposed to"?

Not what i said. I said You will be judged by God. He will determine your fate, according to your understanding of Him. (I have a verse if you like to see it. It may explain alittle more.)
