Is this also the reason why some Christians go to "Hell"?
that ask God into their lives, and God comes in and changes them. They will
walk with Him, obeying Him, loving Him and others and where they are weak
He is strong.

Originally posted by KellyJayI don't acknowledge sin, there is no Biblical God for me. To be blunt, it's ludicrous nonsense.
I believe you.
It isn't until you find a law that you acknowledge as true can you see sin for
what it is. For example, if you in your heart of hearts know you should not
lust after another man's wife, and you do, you know what sin is. If you know
you should not lie, cheat, or steal and you find yourself fudging numbers for
your taxes you understand sin ...[text shortened]... les we have in life are not
just guide posts, they are lamp posts showing us our nature.

Originally posted by KellyJayThe morality of "Do not harm ~ Do not deceive ~ Do not coerce" has got these things covered, and much more besides.

Originally posted by FMFI agreed those are some fine standards, but they only serve one purpose

Originally posted by KellyJayI'll leave the quoting of the Bible to you as you are still hitching your outlook in life to it whereas I am not.
Yes, since only those that come to God through Jesus Christ will be
saved, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You used to read the
Bible you don't remember that verse?
So it's "eternal torture" for all people with a different religion from you, yes?

Originally posted by KellyJayCannot the same be said for the standards by which Christians like yourself live? After all, you have admitted to your "fallen nature" and the fact that your life is "full of evil".

Originally posted by FMFNo, its you stay in your sins if you miss out on Jesus Christ, I have nothing

about the faith you once professed you had? If you were a Christian you'd
know it isn't our works that saves us, it isn't anything we do, it is Christ.
We are to follow God's Spirit, without which you do not belong to God. It is
a living faith, not one that is laid out in pure standards alone.
You really wonder still why I never believed you knew the Lord?

Originally posted by KellyJayI am not speaking to as a Christian. I am speaking to you as someone who finds Christian beliefs in part grotesque and in part utterly unable to withstand scrutiny. I will leave fighting the Christian corner to you. I am not attempting to parade any former Christian beliefs I may have had and I am not seeking, from you, approval or agreement with anything I may have believed in the past.

Originally posted by KellyJayHow can you have "nothing to do with it"? You either are a proponent of this ideology or you aren't. You can't distance yourself from your own personal opinions.
No, its you stay in your sins if you miss out on Jesus Christ, I have nothing
to do with it.

Now do I have to like it, no. Do I have to even agree with it for me to believe
it is true and going to happen, no. I do not turn on reality by those things
I like and agree with or that I dislike and disagree with.
