No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

[Thor]

Seeking God is not a one time effort. Knocking is something you are to do the rest of your life.

Where did I say I went seeking this deity "once"? I looked for years. Went to church and participated in the silly rituals. Not once did I receive anything that could be construed as a reply.

A life lived seeking God is a life well spent.

I'd rather go seeking leprechauns. At least then I'll get a tasty breakfast cereal.

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

How incredibly stupid is that?

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

And what counts as "gossip"? If I tell you that my neighbor was arrested for child abuse, does that count as "gossip"? Because if that's the case, I guess we can't pass on ANY news about somebody else.

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

And this is without a doubt the most IDIOTIC commandment of them all. You're not supposed to "covet anything"? This means that the only things you can want in life are things you already have! How moronic is that? I guess that starving child better not want food! That would be coveting!

Sounds like it's a sin to be human.

Which is Exactly why one needs to seek attonement.

I need to "seek attonement" for being human? What kind of idiocy is this?

"Dear God, please forgive me for being the way you created me."

Yeah, makes sense to me....

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...

I would think the biggest sins a person can commit would be torture, killing, rape and molesting a child. Kind of nuts that gossip, anger and wanting a new iPod would be up there as well.

If Gandhi knew what God expected of him and turned his back on God then yes.

One of the greatest humanitarians in history and you suggest that he could be in hell. And you expect people to take your religion seriously?

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,

Sounds like your god doesn't appreciate the severity of a transgression. I guess he would give the death penalty for every violation. Triple murderer, having an expired parking meter.... kill them all!

Not what i said. I said You will be judged by God. He will determine your fate, according to your understanding of Him.

Okay, then what if my "understanding" of god is to believe that he lives in volcanoes and requires regular sacrificing of young girls? Am I on the pathway to heaven?
