It's the sin of ommission that really gets you. Every time
you choose not to feed the poor, give drink to the
thirsty, visit the imprisoned, &c, you've committed a sin
of ommission. It is unavoidable from a Christian standpoint,
yet people are called to strive to avoid it, to demonstrate
their true faith through works, and to be humble about it.
Very few Christians actually do this, and, as such, there are
very few true Christians.

I'm serious here. You need to address your learning
disability. You aren't comprehending what I am writing.
You are reading too quickly or too confusingly.
You will never understand the Bible (i.e., what 'God wants'
as far as Christians are concerned) if you don't address it.
You should make it your number one priority to go to
professional people who deal with this in adults. It will
be very difficult and challenging, but it will help you in
the long run.
This is a very serious problem and you seem a decent person,
so you owe it to yourself to get help for it.

I don't think people realize just how long a shot this is. Billions upon billions of people have had their chance and failed!
I don't care to set up an actual equation, but I bet that a human is more likely to win several lotteries in his lifetime than to make it through life without committing a sin.
but yeah-it won't happen again and i is talking outta my buttocks 🙂
and RBHill is on the right track nemeiso. but so are you. you will not feed, every hungary person you see, clothe every naked one - even if you can, you shant! period. but you can love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind. remember the commandments? the first one was to love God, the second was to love your neighbour. love God, then feed the hungry. Mark 14:3-9 gives a little story that sorta covers this...
Originally posted by Starrmanthere is no debate GOD, gave you the ability to make the choices,you make. But he also holds you accountable for those choices. You made your choice. How you live, how you understand, how you feel.That is all good Except you still have to answer to THE WORD OF GOD, whether you accept it or not.
Apart from the fact that this is utterly irrelevant to the debate, I will answer once more for you. I am in control of myself, I am not a robot. If there are robots in this chess site, they are undoubtedly you and RBHILL. I refuse to talk to you both any futher in any debates as you are quite incapable of debating.
This is a debate forum, so debate! ...[text shortened]... s to understand this.
Farewell, may you continue to skirt the issue for many years to come.
Originally posted by rapalla7You believe as you do, that is acceptted as your choice. You say I missed the spiritual part of it. If you say this as an unbeiever I can see and understand how you feel. You have chosen not to believe. Those that have come to you bringing THE WORD OF GOD,you insult, push over the front hedge, and curse. The day is comming and coming soon when all mankind has to stand before THE WORD OF GOD, and answer for all their actions. You say you donot care, why get involved in a subject that makes you so up set.We are not going away until THE LORD, takes us away, but donot worry that shall be soon.
I never said your god does not. You have said yours is the only one. So you do the work. I have pushed many like you over my front hedge and they don't come around no more, and I am tired of you people. You can quote the bible just fine, but you are missing the spiritual end.

"GOD did not sentence CHRIST to death,mankind did."
God sent christ to the earth knowing full well he would die. Nobody could have killed christ unless god allowed it. Therefore, he is culpable.
"You want man to be found faulty, but have you ever looked at sin, from GOD'S point of view?"
My main point is that god is also fa ...[text shortened]... ements on the wrongs of others when he sentences his own son to die. Anything else is hypocrisy.
What many really donot understand,we are in a war (a spiritual war) between GOD and satan. The cruifixtion of JESUS CHRIST, seald the defeat of satan. He is defeated, those that have chosen to fight against GOD, are defeated.
You may not understand or accept this thought, look into yourself. Look into who you are about, is there not a battle going on in each, and everyone of us. And that war is about the good and evil within each of us. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Originally posted by BigDoggProblemYes we are all flawed of us.There came a man who lived the same life that we all live and he refused to be flawed. He decided to follow, the teachings of GOD. We, mankind, have refused to follow those teachings. GOD has provided away to lay down all of our flaws, all of them.We (mankind) has chosen our own way.GOD has promised that when the last of mankind, has made his choice to accept, or reject JESUS CHRIST, HE will deal with each and everyone, of us, and our so-called flaws.
Is man capable of choosing not to be flawed? I think not. If the bible says that all have sinned, that includes all 6-7 billion of us on the planet today plus everyone that has ever lived in the past (except Jeebus). Doesn't sound like the species has the consistency and foresight that it takes to remain flawless.

You seem to have high respect for the WORD OF GOD. Fine, let's read it.
Matthew 7:14 - Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Few find it! So much for the claim that 'billions and billions' are saved.
