What difference does it make what we are doing and why must we ask forgiveness for that which we were born into.We are also born with various ethnicities, do we have to be forgiven for that?

This is all stupid. To think in this manner. You know right from wrong whether you get a pass on your transgressions because you ask for it is just the ignorant christian way. Christians get comfortable with clearly sinful behavior and sin more becase their standards are lowered by knowing they get a pass on their horrible behavior by asking to be forgiven. I have seen so much hypocrisy and worse behavior after people become so called born agains especially. They are part of a cult and their whole personality changes to the worse. Self righteous hypocrites. Usually the worst convert to christianity because of the guilt of their being a poor excuse for a human being. If you want to read these jewish written scriptures and use it for a model for life thinking you are going to a heaven or hell then go ahead and be a fool. God may forgive but I don't have to and neither does society. People read the bible but fail to understand it's most basic ideas. That pathetic attempt that I most often see in people claiming to be a christian is the inability to even remotely understand the bible. Christians need money mongering thieves (priests, preachers, etc.) to interpret the bible for them so they can get money from gullible guilt ridden idiots.

We are no longer born into sin. That was part of the new covenant under Jesus. We will sin because it is human nature. Ethnicity has nothing to do with sin or sin potential.So if you are saved and ask forgiveness of your sins, then You should be at least living as close to a christlike manner as you can.

Your incorrect, if you have studied the bible you would know that you can train your mind and not commit sin. Although we are imperfect you can abstain from sin. Asking forgiveness is believing in the ransom Scarface Jesus did for everyone. It is not forced upon you to do so. It was a matter of mercy God has given you. It is an opportunity to live for-ever here on the earth as God originally purposed.

When Eve gave in to the deception of satan(devil) and gave the forbidden fruit to Adam and he also ate it, mankind became an enemy of God because we had sold out to the devil. God made us and hadplaced us in the Garden of Eden but man betrayed God and God cursed the earth and mankind.
God so loved us (His creation) that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus) to die on the cross for man sin and make a way for mankind to come back to God and to break the bondage of sin that we were born under.
If we do not come to Christ as ask for His forgiveness and to save us, we will die and be cast into Hell that was prepared for the Devil.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

that's an argumentative statement. but here's the catch... Christ died on the cross as described in the bible, therefore absorbing you of the original sin (that of Adam and Eve). thus any sin committed after you receive the sacrament of baptism is either considered venial or mortal sin. truth is, even an absolution or doing penance for it is weigh in on judgement day by the lord, not ours to know. thus, any sins committed will have a come-uppance as justified by the Lord and no one else can say how much is it's gravity, okay??? ciao....

Have you ever told a lie or stolen something or lusted or coveted, etc....The point is everyone on earth has broken one of God's laws. How can you deny the Bible's contention that humanity has a sin nature. Show me a sinless man. The only one I ever heard of was Jesus.

race has nothing to do with it. if you are cleansed by the blood all sin is washed away and you become a new creature. you have given this choice because god wants you to decide for yourself if you want to be with him for eternity or not. it is called free will. just like the bumper sticker says we are not perfect just forgiven

Muslims do not believe we were born into sin. Babies are innocent. We don't have the concept of the original sin at all. It makes no sense that a human being should be sinful because of someone else's sin. What kind of God would be so harsh to judge a tiny baby in this manner?

This is not correct. No human is born into sin.
We are all spark of the divine...and god loves us
Releigions use sin as a tool to gather their blind herds
