your only basis for belief is faith. you have faith in the hoy words and the god. you are supposed to be living in the word of this god all the days of your life to please the god and go to whatever heaven you're destined to go.
How do you figure you are pleasing whatever god you worship if you intentionally go against the word. shouldn't you follow the word even if it's not of benefit to you? even if you may suffer a little or a lot from following it? how strong is your faith really if you don't follow it to the letter? please cite book and verse of the part where it says "to err is human".
If you're going to say "we are human and make mistakes", this does not answer the question. If you say "you're not perfect", that doesn't answer my questions either. Finally, the free will argument doesn't apply here either.

what does apply is the answer your fellow believer is going to give you for all the rest of us to read. yay! and then that common statement like a cheers, amen. statement.
so whats the diff?
Why dont you read about the Pharisees? Then try to figure out your own answer, that is, if someone doesnt puppet what you'd say anyway first.
Man...all this time I thought Shakesphere said "to err is human". Oh wrongo...Alexander Pope (never a pope) the poet said that. Do you want to know the name of THAT book?
Once a person decides to love and follow Jesus, they are under grace, not the law you refer to. Jesus frees us from having (suffering) a choice to intentionally go against the Word. I personally experience this. But, oh, I dont know your mantra, so I guess we arent going to give each other high fives.
True believers consider themselves blessed to suffer for Jesus. We dont expect unlimited food, money and all the fun in the world whenever we wish to go to Walt Disney World or have inside favor to win the Powerball.
I think there are fewer Christians that attack Allah or Muhammed and the Q'uran, than Christianity and the Bible are attacked by believers such as yourself. Why is that?
Try to recognize love.

First off, I think it's quite confrontational for you to ask a question and then list the answers you will not "permit". But I'm going to go against your wishes because it happens to be the correct answer. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. That means that He knew we would not be perfect. He is the ONLY perfect one. He would not have needed to sacrifice Himself if we were going to be 100% obedient. I think you must have some internal issues and opt not to believe in a religion or a higher being because you are afraid of not being perfect. There is good news....you don't have to be, just strive to be the best person you can! I can't speak for every other person out there that blatantly breaks commandments, but I try to do things right.

" could desire to that's that Atheists who bypass via the mere data of observable and demonstratable certainty on my own are god's best suited witnesses to the actual fact?" No, what it could desire to be is that non secular leaders interior the previous have study into God's be conscious issues which it did not incorporate. No the place interior the Bible does it say that the earth is the middle of the universe and that each and every thing revolves around it. The Bible does coach that animals which includes dinosaurs have been created in the previous adult men, it in basic terms does not say how long and the "days" of Genesis a million are open to a sort of interpretions, certainly one of that's that God revealed the truths of his introduction on 7 distinctive days and that it quite is written in poetic language. The Bible says that the earth is around and that it "hangs on not something". That grow to be written lower back while different religions like Hinduism have been asserting that the earth rested on the lower back of a huge turtle and centuries in the previous the Greeks taught that it rested on the shoulders of huge stated as Atlas.

The letter of the Law was paid in full by Jesus Christ "We have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the Righteous."
When Jesus died on the cross the Vail of the temple was rent in the midst. The Law was fulfilled and Jesus is the way the truth and the life. If you have a theological difference with what portion of the law was done away . Jesus summed up the commandments in saying: "Thou shalt love the Lord God with all they might and the second is like unto it thou shalt love they neighbor as thy self." The first four of the ten is covered by his first statement the next six are covered by the last half of his statement. I assume you are perfect since you are espousing perfection. Don't you go by what Jesus told us in the scripture. "Because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour

The basis of our belief in God is the Holy Bible which is the word of God written on the bible and because we b elieve on the words of the bible, we have faith in God that he is God who created man on earth that he is the spiritual living God who is in Heaven
Herre is the question to you as non believer, do you have faith in your self? Do you believe on other things aside from God? And why do you believe that you are living in this world? Why do you believe that there is air where we are getting our breath? Why do you believe on spoiled smell which you can smell out of your sense of smell?
You have a very low logic about the existence of God. You do not klnow how to imagine things within your sorroundings and what you know only is yourself, your little knowledge you have learned from school and many more .
Nobody is perfect in this world including yourself who do not admit mistake? Are you perfect according to your self?God is perfect but we humans are not perfect.
While living in this world we are bound to commit mistakes or sins. Everybody of us humans. You can not deny this, you man.

No, I am not perfect, just forgiven. I do try however to follow the word of God to the letter. Even though, sometimes my flesh wants to do something. When I fail, I go to the lord in a prayer of repentance.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."Rom 3:23 Yes, God does want us to obey him, but we are not perfect. That's why he sent Jesus to die for us. That's the whole point of Christ's death, we can never please God with our "good works" or "nice words" .. He says our righteousness is like filthy rags to him. So we follow Jesus because he is perfect and we're hoping he will rub off on us a little while we're on this earth.. hope that helps, goodnight!

Some days God calms the storm; some days God clams the child.
I am a child of God, I don't have to prove anything to you or anyone.I walk each day with the knowledge of God's love and guidance in everything I do each day. I try not to do anything so dumb that my guardian angle would fall down laughing.

It is for the very fact that we are sinful that Christ died for us in the first place. If we weren't sinful, there would be no need for redemption. Clearly our tendency toward sin didn't catch God off guard. That's not astounding news. What's amazing is, when God's law reveals that I'm guilty of sinning against Him, it makes me aware of my need to be rescued from punishment. That's where Jesus comes in. His sacrifice.
You'll never be able to explain the nature of compassion and sacrifice from one human to another, from an evolutionary standpoint. Evolution demands survival of the fittest, not compassion and sacrificing for others. That's only divine! That's where you get it from. That's where I get it from. I've got alot more to say, if you want to chat. Later.
