1. Naturally wicked. This comes from the understanding that we are all born sinful due to the sin of our first parents. We actually were created perfect; it was their sin that led to imperfection.
2. "everybody's bad". Read #1 for answer.
3. "I'm nothing with God." This comes after the understanding that we originate with God, thus showing us our divine and perfect origin, then realizing that we are not perfect because of sin, and that the only way back to perfection is through Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are "nothing", not perfect, without God.
4. I think you mean being good and not accepting Christ? If so, then yes, being good alone and never accepting Christ will not get you to heaven.
5. We, of our own efforts, can never make this world perfect, because we are not perfect. Only Jesus can do that.
6. All sin is digusting and evil. However, obviously lying about your age isn't as serious as murder, but ultimately, they are both sin and both objectively evil.
7. This goes to each person's faith and trust in God. Some are sincere, some aren't. We learn to concentrate first on ourselves before we look at the faith of someone else.

1. No not wicked but born in sin and through the grace of God and blood of Jesus Christ His Son all our sins is washed away. You said it I am a child of God so that is that is what I will become one day and all true Christians should believe it.
2. Not everybody is bad only there deeds can be good or bad. Do not generalize as there are true believers and people who just call themselves Christians
3.I love myself and all my friend's love them self as well but if you think my God has low standards you have to go and investigate again
4.Good deeds will not get you in heaven but we have to treat everybody as you will treat yourself. If we do anything at all it will be driven by God
5.Yes it will not get better it is the start of the end time. why make it worse do you hate yourself
6.Sin is sin the Devil is the father of lies and lies bring forth death when it is fully grown so what is the difference between killing yourself and killing another both is murder
7. True Christians know that God do exist and read the Bible even if you do not believe in it then try to sort it out it's a challenge

thats not entirely true. You are referring to more of the "old School Christians". The "were all going to burn in hell" type, who think sex is taboo, and women are beneath men. That is a dying breed. I don't know what you have read on here, but look at the other answers etc.. posted by those same "christians". You will see the majority of them on here, are actually just trolls. People claiming to be Christian to start a debate. Thats it.
Personally I think, most people are basically good, but of course are gonna screw up once in a whild.
I think I am perfect as I am, but having God gives me a trustworthy friend.
I think pretty everybody will be in heaven by the time its over, that He won't end the game until we've all won.
I think Jesus is and has been among us since resurrection
Murder is about as bad as it can get.
The last one has been somewhat taken out of context however: the playing it safe comment. Thats not what is meant by that.
Atheist accuse us of being wrong and ignorant. Christians just beleive, so what if we are wrong, big deal. I will keep my faith and risk being wrong, what have I got to lose? If I'm wrong then when this is all over with, I give you complete permission to say "I told you so". But I will still know I lived my life happy and to the fullest.

I first read "The Picture Bible" as a kid. I think my mother got it for me, I can't remember. It's pretty cool, actually... the entire Bible, more or less, as a hardbound comic book. I read it cover-to-cover and almost immediately I was looking at it as fiction. It seemed absolutely ridiculous. Seeds of doubt were sown way back then. I was astonished to discover upon reading the KJV later that my Picture Bible was fairly accurate. And the more I read, the more astonished I became. And I tried in my teen years and my early twenties, I really tried to believe. But I also continued to study, taking courses in World Religion, Christianity, and Buddhism in college. I was soon calling myself an "agnostic", and soon after that, an atheist. So... read that Bible, theists. Read it carefully. And ask questions as you read. Does it make sense? Is this a loving god? Could I have made a better choice? Is this another contradiction? The answers may not be easy to take. But the truth, as it is said, will set you free.

Yes.I am a Christian.I believe what you said it's possible.Religion is a very personal thing.I know how hard it would be to accept others mind sets.It's even harder to tell someone who doesn't believe in God in the first place about how great it is to be filled with joy and peace when you know your sin has been forgiven by Him through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.
1. Most of you are taught that you're naturally wicked. Humans can easisly become what they think they are
Because it was written in the bible, when adam and eve eaten the fruit of the tree that God asked them not to eat, they have sinned.And as we are from their bloodline, we have also the tentative to sin. We are trully to become what we actually are..
2. The biggest sin that a human committed ,it's not about what they done.It's when a human being wants to take control of his/her life, he/her wants to be his own God,to do whatever things that he/she think it's right ,not honouring God as He's supposed to receive for His name is worth to be praised and glorfied. but maybe deep inside his/her heart, she/he actually knows there must God must be exist when he realised how small he is in the universal. and he has the abiility to think of externality and seek for meaning of live.
God intention while created the world:
Order :
God - > Human Being - >other Creation (plant,animal,money,human made things,etc)
after Adam and even sinned
Order has become:
Creation-> Human Being -> God
or Human Being -> Creation - > God
3. You can be something and be great on the earth.But in God's eye , how do you expect you can be something that God will accept when treat Him like nothing?
4. You can be good, but you can never be righteous in God's prospective.Due to the sin you have and yet to be fixed.unless you accepted Jesus who died for your sin and trust him that He could wipe away your sin and make you rightenous before God.
Eternal life= heaven=God's house
can you invite a strange to live and stay with you forever?
5. As adam and eve was told to take care and work in the garden.
we have the responsibilities to make the earth a better place to live.although we know it's hard when there are many human made problem out there...
6. Who is the judge again? you , the creation? or God, the creator? biggest sin is not what we've done,, it's actually what we believe in and live accordingly. refer to answer 2...
7. the right thing to do is to realise and know how to positioin yourself in the whole universal.
any decision you make to believe in the order below will influence how you live your live.
God - > Human Being - >other Creation
other Creation-> Human Being -> God
Human Being ->other Creation - > God
i believe some may choose..
Human Being ->other Creation
other Creation - >Human Being
God has shown His love to all the people and wanted to make things right with them.But human sometimes like to do things their own way just like their father....

It's easy you believe what you what to. If you don't believe in God nobody is going to change you mind unless you try it yourself ( in a truthful way not hypocritical).As in you comment I agree in number 1. But ëverybody's bad" thats to general. "I'm nothing with out God that cause if you believe in God and you don't have him you your heart your just wasting time of you life because you will not enjoy the christian world or the world pleasures. No sin is greater than the other, but the consecuence are greater than the other.Jesus wll come no to fix and make thing better but to finish evil for good and to rescue those that follow his will. You probably think I'm talking lots of crap, but if you don't believe in a higher power the for what are you living, to get old and die?

My goodness you are so full of bitterness! I'll pray for you. You don't know about the love, you don't know how God answers prayer. You are focused on the negative. If you hate Christians so much please just stay away from us! Quite frankly your attitude is discusting to me! Even so I know I must forgive you and pray for you! "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" Romans 8:1 I possess freedom from condemnation and a guilt complex. Shame me all you want it will not work! If Jesus can be before me no one can stand against me. Not even Any Atheist."Have a nice day!" And to all of the Christians who may be reading this "Have a Blessed Day!"

Athiest's, I'm Christian and after reading thousands of your comments, why am I disgusted with your mind sets?
1. Most of you are taught that you're naturally good, and easily dismiss any wrong doing and justify any and all liefstyles, doing what 'Feels good".
2. Plenty Athiest's say "everbody's good" justifying all those afore mentioned lifestyles, in effect becoming hypocrites, cause you preach social tolerance, but will not tolerate Chriustians.
3. You also say " I do not need God" becoming "puffed up" and arrogant, greedy, headstrong, lack of humility, in this made up 'What have you done for me lately" world you fabricated for yourselves. to cover up and or hide your undeniable convistions of your sins.
4. Most of you say "I am a good person if I do not hurt anybody" but end up doing so anyway and just "brush it off".
Christians do good as a by-product of a transformed mind (Romans 12:2)
5. Most of you think the world will get better if you can just get rid of the Christians, but as secularism takes over and increases in popularity, so has Crime, Murder, theft, pornography, various addictions, The list goes on and on.
6. You believe in levels of severity of sin and are blind to the FACT that one sin leads to another and gets worse, denying the root cause that we all have a sin nature and refuse to recognize sin as any problem and justify it.
7. No "true Christian" admits to "playing it safe" (pascals wager)
In their belief in Christ, it is not a game, I know this as I have met Him and know Christ to be a fact,Christians (real Christians) know Christ and know that it is no game.
8. Athiest cannot know these truths or even understand them, as it is written: "For the natural man cannot understand the things that are of the spirit of God (Meaning the Bible) for it is foolishness to him, nor can he know them for they are spirtually discerend. (1st Cor. 2:14)

God says sin is sin, and it separates us from Him. Consequences, however, is an entirely different story. We are naturally self centered. We become God centered. My view of myself is much more loving that prior to being a Christian. I have value. In fact, so much so now that your words do not make me angry like they did prior to when I was a Christian. Your reaction is normal for someone who cannot understand Spiritual things that are from God. First, you have to believe in Him. I do have sadness that you don't know and love God. I do hope one day you do. I know God is real. Here is a newsflash for you, that same God teaches me you have value, and that I can learn from you because we are all created in His image. My God has taught me to value people, life and Him. peace.

sorry you feel that way, being a christian just means you are a rotten sinner saved by the grace of god through jesus, if you came from a life of gangs and drugs would you expect that person to miraculously change in a day, no it takes time. besides if anyone wanted to the could find a million things to criticize another person about, stop looking at people the christian isnt god he has just accepted him in their lives.
