Why are Christians ignorant to the consequences of their actions?

Question

always hear Christians say,

1. God loves me no matter WHAT I DO(Thinking that wont help your bad behavior)

2. Jesus already died for my sins(murder, rape, stealing ect.)

3. Nobody's perfect(This is a common excuse to do evil)

4. God will forgive me(This doesn't keep you from murdering someone)

5. We're born into a sinful world(What a way to lower your standard of behavior)

Answer 1

Well, I think we are ALL ignorant of the consequences of our action, esp when your consider the chaos theory as true....

Answer 2

These are my interpretation as a Christian.

1. God loves me no matter what I DID.
The bible also says in John 5:14 that we are to stop sinning after we have received the forgiveness of God.

2. By accepting Jesus as your God and saviour your sins will be forgiven but as in pt 1 we are to sin no more.

3. Nobody is perfect and it is not an excuse to do evil especially for Christians.

4. God forgives but there will be consequences if you keep commiting sin. John 5:14, Jesus tells the man to stop sinning otherwise something worse may happen.

5. We're born into a sinful world, hence we are not to conform to the ways of this world but to his word.

You can identify a true Christians by his/her actions. Those who makes excuses for sinning are not Christians (followers of Jesus Christ) even if they say they are.

Answer 3

Some people do not fully understand the word of God. Yes, God will forgive us for our sins. However, if you conciously sin thinking I'll repent for it later, it don't work that way. But, if you slip up and make a mistake that's different. God does care what you do or else everyone would go to Heaven.

Answer 4

1. God does love you...but that does not relieve you of the consequences of your actions.

2. Yes he did. See #1 above.

3. This is correct. Flling short of perfection does not equal permission to do evil, which is a deliberate act.

4. God already has forgiven you.

5. Yes, we are.

Christians are not ignorant to consequences of their actions. Among other things, seeing a crucifix in a church is a graphic example of one consequence of actions that athiests ignore.

Answer 5

Where are you getting this information?It's the catch 22 any saved person would rather die than commit murder.

Still we are under grace, not the law. Under the law , no flesh can be saved.

I do not frustrate the grace of God, but if righteousness cometh by the law. then Christ is dead in vain.


These are not my words , but Paul's .


That is if you can get to heaven by being without sin, then why did Jesus have to die on the cross?

Answer 6

Many believe they can do as they please and God will forgive them, but God's word says if someone knows the truth, and more than likely baptized but not necessarily, where is there left any forgiveness for them. If they keep doing as they please, they will perish. God's word says those calling on the name of God will be saved, but not for those whose do wrong right up to the end of their life where they think a last second asking will give forgiveness of sins, no last second reprieves. That last second asking for forgiveness does not demonstrate faith but fear of the unknown.

Answer 7

Um...for the first paragraph, in case you wanna talk like that, then how 'bout this? "what's the solid, if not the instructor of the undesirable? and what's the undesirable, if not the interest of the solid?" And in that little proverb or in spite of it truly is, solid is the single which teaches the undesirable, God taught Lucifer, yet Lucifer went undesirable someplace, and also, God created Lucifer understanding finished properly the repercussions that his Fall might want to create (in case you've self assurance the all-powerful God element, he'd have prevalent that Lucifer might want to Fall) So in a way, God created Evil. As for your 2d paragraph. How might want to you're saying that God did not creat people understanding that they could shrink to rubble? i assumed God became omni-smart? Yeah per chance God "loved us unconditionally" and he did supply us loose will, and by no ability make us robots, yet how do you're saying that he "chosen now to not draw close?" for sure he'd recognize, he's all understanding! So see, God did create evil and he created guy understanding finished properly what one and each and absolutely everyone will do, might want to do, and could not do, shop in concepts, there are an unlimited futures available, hence God is conscious one and all of them, so certain, he did create Evil. -EDIT- also, you contradicted your self there too, how can God love yet also supply loose will? Love is synonymous with secure practices, yet protectio limits loose will, so then how can a God that loves us supply us loose will if His love limits our loose will (Like faith..*gasps* see how binding it truly is, hence proscribing our loose will?)

Answer 8

henry the eight said, 'the voice of God is the voice of your conscience'. If you kill a person and feel good about it, you are a murderer and nobody can do anything else but prosecute you. God is no judge. we have the free will to turn our lives into heaven or hell

Answer 9

They are not ignorant to their actions. They know what they are doing. It is much easier for people to put excuses onto something or someone else. Not many people are willing to try and walk the walk.

Answer 10

Romans 3:23 tells us that we are all sinners...fallen short of the glory of God. We all, therefore, justly deserve death as the price for our sins. And this death is not just death of the body, but also the lake of fire, called the second death (Rev. 20). God is perfect, just, and righteous and has all just authority to allow each of us to be tormented in this place for eternity without any hope of ever escaping...completely seperated from God forever.

God, however, loved us first -- even while we were/are sinners. He loved us so much that He sent His only Son to pay the perfect price for our sins. Jesus lived a sinless life, and died a sin-bearing death for you and me. God raised Him up on the third day, and sat Him at His right hand in heaven, giving Him dominion over all. Not only did Jesus pay our price for our sins with His blood, but he also overcame the power of death. Thus, anyone who repents and truly believes in Jesus as his Lord and Savior will be justified before God. Their sins will be forgiven, and the righteousness of Christ will be imputed to them. They will be saved to eternal fellowship with God. Faith in Jesus is the only way to bring glory to God.

None of this means that Christians stop sinning. True christians, however, are compelled by love of Christ to not sin and be obedient to the will of God...to the commands of Jesus. Christans ought to desire this and be troubled when they fall short by a profound gratitude for what Jesus did for them. You will know real christians by their actions, lifesyles, and speech. This is not to say non-christians will not have good actions, good lifestyles, and good speech...but, only faith in Christ saves one from eternal death.

One more thing, faith in Christ does not somehow absolve you of the consequences of your sins. We live in a cursed world. Christians will even be persecuted for their faith...Paul was imprisoned...John was sent to the prison island of Patmos...Christians today are persecuted and killed in China...American Christians get lumped with Muslim facists as extremists and dismissed...etc. etc. So whether you have sinned, or God is testing your faith through trials, or you are simply going through a difficult time, bad things happen to the faithful and unfaithful alike. Faith is a personal choice. But with faith, you also have the Holy Spirit indwell you and have the ability to show the love of God in a dark world...God enables you to endure anything...whether in prison or the suburbs or the hospital bed. Difficult times for Christians brings about perseverence and more faith. For others, it is a time to make a decision...accept or deny Jesus...there is no middle ground.
