then you can commit all the sin in the world you want and God will forgive you.
that means you can:
(1) be homosexual
(2) kill as many people as you can
(3) fornicate with every creature on this earth
(4) commit suicide...
and all your sins are forgiven.
Doesn't this mean only if you believe in his sacrifice you can do whatever you want and you will be forgiven?
Sounds like a blank check to me...

Suicide is not a forgivable sin.
A person who asks for forgivness must mean with all their heart, or they will not receive it, and it should be as you put it. Do whatever they wish, and later on they can be forgiven. It is not that easy, or simply. If you don't know that! educate yourself first, please.
I just recently learned that a person who convert to Islam gets all their sins forgiven. So in your own words. A person can do their worset, convert to Islam, and GOd/Allah will forgive his sins.
they can(1) be homosexual
(2) kill as many people as you can
(3) fornicate with every creature on this earth
(4) commit suicide... in this case if they say they are doing for jihad, they can go to heaven and bring with them four other non believers, or sinners. not a bad deal. for them. right!
Does that mean all it will take is to convert and believe in Allah, and don't forget you must believe in Muhammad, or it will not work, and all your sins will be forgiven.
or, go to hijah, touch the black rock, and that rock which some believe was once white. will take all your sins away?!
Sounds to me like Islam doesn't give you a blank check. it gives a whole blank check book.....
To me, no thanks. to easy. I believe in Jesus( Peace be Upon Him) and when I die and it is time for the last judgment, I will not be able to hide and find reasons why I forsaken him for a person, no matter how great his people like to believe! was a sinner, imperfect, and cause more harm to others than good. you know who was that person? don't you?
Thanks, No.

That's a really naive misunderstanding. If you believe in his sacrifice, as you put it, you are changed in such a way you no longer want to commit those sins (if homosexuality is a sin). You might as well say those who have faith can go around moving mountains and diverting rivers. But by the time a person has that much faith, there's no serious difference between him and the One who put the mountain there in the first place, and he no longer has any interest in moving it.
There are serious issues about freedom and responsibility here that you are ignoring.

Jesus died if our sins,this is true. But if you know that what you are doing is a sin and do it anyway,that is willfully doing a sin. That is consider,a sin that is compound. Then you must ask to be forgiven for 2 sins. Jesus said,"Go,and sin no more." About suicide...How can you ask for forgiveness when you're dead?

ONLY if u are really trying to stop sinning. God is not going to forgive u if u ask for forgiveness and then know that u will do it again. Who is ever going to do that. No one has that patience. God will only forgive the ones that re truly seeking their forgiveness and know that what they did was wrong and wantt to get away from that sina dn to stop it. God knows everyone's heart so He knows who's true and not about their forgiveness. Thats like when people say, "im sorry", but they go and do it over and over again.. or they don't really mean it. God will not forgive those ppl who do that.

Rom 6:1 ¶ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

"When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:20-23
"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:13-15
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." - Galatians 5:19-21
"As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:14-16
"If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth." 1st John 1:6
"For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:20

The Grace of God is not a free ticket to sin. Anyone who thinks so hasn't experienced His Mercy and Salvation. It makes you want to live right and strive to be Christ-like!

THE BIBLE TEACHES US THAT SIN IS SIN.
NOT ONE GREATER THEN THE OTHER.
SO TO KILL IS THE SAME SIN AS FORNICATION.
JESUS DIED ONCE AND ONCE FOR ALL.
YES EVER SIN IS COVERED.BUT THAT IS NOT A blank check.
when you love someone ,you want the very best for them.You would give everything to make them happy.
This is how a true christian believes.Your heart is to show Jesus how very much you love Him.Self is not really in the picture.We are not perfect ,but we are forgiven.
AND GOD IS NOT STUPID--HE MADE THE RULES WE LIVE BY THEM.

That's about right...
And Islam is any different? The slate is wiped clean as soon as you confess allegiance to Allah.
What happens if a Muslim backslides or sins? Do you conveniently lop off an appendage or something more vital like a head?

God knows you will make mistakes and learn from them. he doesn't want that one mistake to cost you. You shouldn't use God, he is only helping you so when you make your mistake, you can fix it. God isn't stupid and he knows if you are using him and when you really do mean it that you do want your sins forgiven. Don't use him... it's not right.
