Jesus did not "save" me from sin. I'm not doing anything that can even be called a sin, nor is Jesus even around to do anything like "saving" anyone! Jesus was an ordinary man who had some really cool ideas and he died like an ordinary man.
There also is no god... at least not the type religious fanatics would have you believe. The only god anyone worships today is that great big dollar sign... just look at all those evangalists on TV who claim it is all for their god but really use it to line their swimming pools and mansions.
If you have two people together on a date, the only things they are thinking of (other than how lucky in bed they will be later) is how much they can get out of the other and how to make the other pay for their dinner. There is no true "love" for one another, nor is there even a dollop of care! All they want is what the other can buy for them.
Evangalists, the fact that all people are greedy, the fact that no one truly "cares" for one another, and all those "because the Bible says so" cheapo answers from the devout have so turned me away from ANY sort of faith. There are no real answers out there (including the so-called "answers" within that little faerie tale they call the bible - yes I HAVE read it ALL). To date I have yet to see a god of any kind step forth and "proven" themselves. All I see around me is greed, selfishness, more greed, a major lack of tolerance, lots more of that there greed, and so much hatred to each other (and for the stupidest of reasons... and these are from those who follow their faith so devoutly!!!
I am not a lost soul, I am not in need of saving, nor am I evil. I am one who finally knows the "real" truth behind religion.
There is no god, no heaven, no hell, no sin, no miracles, no love (except toward money)... and definitly no hope for humanity.

You are so full of it.
There is no hell. The English word hell is written 23 times in the New Testament King James version. It is translated 11 time from the Greek word hades {hah'-dace} which means grave.
It is translated 12 times from the greek word geenna {gheh'-en-nah} which should have been rendered "Gehenna" or "Gehenna of fire". ". This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction.
It is the place of the future punishment of those that will not enter into the Kingdom of God. A one time punishment not an eternial punishing.
An Italian Florentine poet, Durante degli Alighieri, better known as Dante Alighieri or just Dante, June 1, 1265 – September 13/14, 132, created the idea of the hell that is taught to the world. Through his stage play la Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) the whole world has been and is being decived about a place that does not exist nor will it ever come into being.. The Divine Comedy describes Dante's journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso). It was only a play, the works of the imagination of a man. However the Roman Catholic Church took the idea and ran with it and has long since convinced an unsuspecting world that
the writings of Dante are indeed an acurate rendition of a place of eternal punishing of all evil people. God is in total disagreement with the Catholic Church and all other that preach and teach that there is an ever burning hell, a place of eternal punishing, a place where the evil go after death.
READ it, burnedup.
Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day is coming, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day thats coming shall burn them up, say's the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Malachi 4:3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, say's the LORD of hosts.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev chapter 20 tell us of a judgement and the one time punishment of being evil. Being a sinner. Cast into fire and becoming DEAD. The second death. Ther is no scripture that tells us to let Jesus come into our heart. You and Satan, still trying to sell crap.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
All this talk about sin sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.
Love and blessings

Really we are all brothers . Sometime I need to break it down to less abstract concepts to get a handle on how simple it is. Point of contention, We are separated for God. By what? Sin ? Yes. Is it in us? Yes. We are polluted? Yes . Jesus is our filter or conduit back to God, get replugged in so to speak. Yes. What do we have to do? Love God. How do we do that? Love each other. How do we do that? Shed all the crap that is diverting us from taking care of each other with dignity and respect. What is that crap called Sin.
Simple concept, hard to live. Crap always gets in the way. So my prayer today is ,
God help us shed the sin that get in the way of your will. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

David,
When I see your "questions" I wonder why lies, arrogance, deception, and cowardly propagandists exist.
=======================
David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity. (And you clearly do not understand hebrew.)

There will be a time in a lost persons life when Jesus will stop sending people to them and tell them this.
Luke 9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
God will stop sending people to you if you are lost and not listening to those that He sends to introduce you to Jesus. Then it will be up to the lost to seek the face of Jesus on their own and it will be hard for them to break those chains of satan on their own.

the main reason is the certainty that He died to your sins, He grow to be buried and rose back the 0.33 day so which you will stand righteous earlier God in case you will possibly purely have self belief and have faith in what He did to your. at present God is coping with absolutely everyone alike by what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the go for his or her sins. Galatians 3: 28 there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor loose, there is neither male nor lady: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

No he did not save me from sin, But he will forgive me of my sins if I ask him. We all sin but Jesus paid the price for them on the cross and we can be forgiven.

Does jesus also require YOU to harass females simply because they don't follow YOUR idea of the christian faith?
Why don't you pick on the males, I wonder...come to think of it Creepy, you only seem to stalk the ones you THINK are very young, don't you.
See YOU in a few day's...'Creepy' D.
(remember to study! Simply picking and choosing your bible quote's isn't being a christian, y'know? Contrary to popular belief, o'course)
Tell me, do you still profess to have a IQ above the level of genius, or was that a lie...?

OK. You're funny, so cheerful! A lot of Jewish people convert to Christianity, so what? Are you one of those "Jews For Jesus" or just a new convert to Christianity, who is proud of his Jewish heritage?
