God doesn't want good behavior, he wants adoration.My forgiveness of sins is completely dependant on whether or not I accept Christ, Forgive others as I have been forgiven (per the parable of the unmerciful servant and the Lord's prayer) and the condition of my heart when I sin. as per Paul and Romans 7.
If I have and accepted Christ as my Lord and savior, I forgive as I have been forgiven and my sins (like Paul says) "are not what I want, but the sin living in me wants" Then yes we can commit the same sin, and I be forgiven and you not.
Christianity per Paul in Romans 7 is not about living sin free. He arguabily was the greatest of all the Apstoles and in Roman 7 said He could not stop sinning.
Quote:So, god sacrificed himself not to save humans but to get lots of adoration and praise for doing so. He didn't really save humans from sin, according to you. He supposedly made it so that he will ignore their sins but they won't really be any better than non Christians. We should invent a new omni word to apply to your god, omni-ego
Do you really think Christians are better people than non Christians???
we aren't infact Real Christians know that they are worse. That is why we seek attonement. It is the Great lie of this world that tells you 'morality' will ever be enough to not seek attonment. To truly seek Christ one must understand the He is morally bankrupt. Which is why this world/our soceity tries and justifies sin, rather than simply seek forgiveness for it. (If one is justified, then one does not need to ask for forgiveness, therefore does not need God.)
I didn't say Christians were better than anyone else. Christians are the same as other humans, neither better nor worse. They aren't more kind or loving or less kind or loving. The so called holy spirit has no discernable effect on the believers' actions.
It is very sad that you view yourself as morally bankrupt. In a way, it is also almost overly confident to view yourself as morally bankrupt. Moral bankruptcy, to me, would apply to a violent psychopath or someone with absolutely no morals, at all.You had morals before you were a Christian, Drich so how can your morals ever have been nonexistent?
Of course, I also don't view thoughts as sins.
