But if the sinner accepts Jesus, the sins are excused?

Originally posted by dj2beckerWhat it means is that you believe that what the Bible means. Even if the Bible did unequivocally say that, so what? Observation of how most human beings live their daily lives refutes the notion that Man's basic nature is "wicked" or "vile"; most people are reasonably generous and loving as one would expect in a rational, social animal. What this means is that your basic premise is wrong and you can see that it is wrong in your everyday life. Why do you reject the evidence of your own eyes in favor of a collection of writings written thousands of years ago by semisavages?
The Bible says we are born in sin. This means that we are wicked by nature, and means that we have a sinful nature no matter under which conditions we live.

He most certainly can if he accepts Jesus Christ as his personal saviour!
Jesus says "I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me."
Would it be OK for a Hindu to hold both views, that of a Hindu and that of a Christian at the same time?

Originally posted by KneverKnightYou did not ask if a person could be a Hindu after he became a Christian. No, obviously he would thereafter be a Christian.
