Again the Law still applies, all of it. (Pay attention and ask questions about this next part because it is what most of you do not seem to get) Because Christ Fulfilled the Law (Lived a life without sin) and then was sacerficed, He was able to take our sin and wipe it clean. Meaning we no longer are bound to the law as away to obtain righteousness. We are now completely dependant of the grace offered by the blood sacerfice of Christ.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I do understand the idea that Jesus changed the way things operate, I just don't think y'all understand the implications of that. Which is why I asked about the morality of your god: does this then mean that there was a point in history where all of the awful things in the old testament were moral? And that the scale of what was moral changed at the crucifixion? Would that not say a lot about the mutability of god's moral stature? And that you're also advocating for divine command, and not any form of objective, divinely inspired moral values?
Quote:Which means Christian and non christian are the same till the final judgement (when His kingdom comes as being discussed in our passage.) We are both literal slaves to sin. One not being more 'moral' or worthy of heaven than the other. Heaven is not a prize to be won for the moral. Heaven is a place where those who want to spend an eternity with God can so do though the attonement offered through Christ's sacerfice. If the simply accept it.
With the alternative to heaven being an eternity in hell. That's... not much of a choice, really.
