Maybe I never was a Christian?

[Reasonable_Jeff]

Okay, all of my answers are going to be from a Biblical perspective just to be clear.

What did you do? Or did you just think sinful thoughts?

I wasn't a real Christian most of my life. Only the last three years. I am a liar, a cheater, a thief, I was a borderline alcoholic or a few years, I have lived with and slept with a few women before I was married, I sold drugs for a little while....that's the highlights I suppose.

Sin is looked at as starting from the "heart" (the Bible's use of the word heart is usually the same as we would use mind), then once it festers it is manifest in external deeds. Like Jesus' teachings on murder, He says it really starts with anger, a heart condition.

Correct me if I'm wrong: God prohibits even a sinful thought.

You are correct.

This puts the Christian in a form of submission for his entire life. He/she will never be good, he/she will always be an evil sinner. He/she needs Jesus or he/she will plunge straight to eternal torture and damnation created by God for maybe 50-100 years of a "sinful" life.

Preach it!

In fact, you could live a live only caring about the well being of others and still go to Hell.

Have mercy preacher!

Fuck, supposedly even newborns who die from birth complications, aborted babies, and children who die at a very young age never truly "accepted" Jesus.

There are actually different perspectives on this within Christianity. Personally I believe that newborns, aborted babies etc go to heaven.

And everybody apparently lives every second of their live in sin, so.....they are pretty fucked.

That's right. "This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4;11-12
