You say, because I say, that I believe christ died for my sin that means that I can break every one of the ten commandments and can sin all I want and I will still go to to heaven, how?

First off you have to have a conscience. That tells you you have bruised the Holy Spirit and makes you want to stop doing that.
Then when you give yourself to Jesus He takes away that sinful drive in your life and you don't do those stupid things anymore. Then if you keep a good relationship with Jesus you get to go to heaven.
If you confess Jesus and continue in these ways you have lied to yourself the world and God as you never really gave it up.
As God looks right into your heart and knows the truth lying or faking is a waste of time.
There is no place in heaven for the wicked. A change is required.

Hi...'No, No, No' wrong answer! who in blazes told you that (krappy doo doo)?...lol... The Catholic Church believes that there are two sins. Now mind you I'm not a born Catholic, however, I do believe a lot of their ideals and views. There are two sins. One is the Venial Sin and the other is a Mortal Sin. The Venial Sin is lesser than the two. A venial sin is a sin that one has committed unintentionally or not knowing they have committed a sin. Such as gossiping. A venial sin can be forgiven by God without a priest. Now God is hurt by this sin and the individual probably will be 'looked down upon' but not as as severe as a Mortal Sin. You can ask for God's forgiveness with sincerity without a priest on a venial sin. A Mortal Sin is the most severe sin. You are defying God's law or laws from the Ten Commandments. Thou Shall Not Steal, Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery, Thou Shall Not Commit Murder and so forth. One who has committed a Mortal sin must seek a priest to ask for God's Forgiveness. One cannot ask God Himself. If one does not seek a priest to ask God for His Forgiveness then that individual will be condemned to Hell for all Eternity. A Mortal Sin is an act that was intentional. Such as premeditated murder or even the thought of robbing a bank so do speak. One does not defy Gods Commandments without receiving a judgment from Him. Now God is a Forgiven God if the individual is sincere in asking to be Forgiven and that individual doesn't return to act out the same sin again. One must be truthfully and honestly sincere of their sin to be Forgiven. God wrote down His Ten Commandments so His children could live a prosperous and establish good morals and ethics and teach their children the same to live a full life without sin if one obeyed Gods laws. One would enter the Gates of Heaven if they believed in thy Father and obeyed His laws. So don't believe everything you hear when one says that you can break one of Gods Ten Commandments without confessing your sin or seeking a priest and still go to Heaven. It won't happen. Have a blessed day!

Christ came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Christ is the new law. The 10 commandments exist, now, to serve as a reminder that it is IMPOSSIBLE to live a perfect life. "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) Without Christ, without having accepted him as your personal Savior, we are blemished. Even on a good day, "our righteous acts are like filthy rags." (Isaiah 64:6) Once we accept Christ as our Savior and live our lives striving to grow closer to Him through a personal relationship, we have been justified, and God no longer sees us by the sins we have committed or will, no doubt, committ in the future.... But why, when you have that relationship with God, your Creator, would you want to continue to sin for the sake of sinning? If your relationship with him is genuine, you won't want to. Read Romans 3. I think that relates pretty well to this discussion.

Who the heck told you that?
When you become a Christian and believe Jesus died for you, you'll WANT to stop sinning.. and any sin you do will be accidental, or you wont realise you sinned. And since it was an accident, or you're unaware of it you're forgiven.. like a child makes mistakes.. so will a christian.
Purposely breaking the commandments is saying you don't believe you'll be punished and you don't care if you're upsetting God.

You have just identified the major problem with christian theology.
If Christ truly died for my sin's I have a get into heaven free card.
If I have to do the belief/faith thing and live according to the rules to get into heaven then his sacrifice was a waste of time.
The whole religion thing is a scam run by parasitic priests supported by corrupt politicians. It's been that way since the beginning and shows no evidence of changing

Christ sent Jesus as an example of how to live your life. He didn't just waste his life for you to go around sinning AGAIN. He died for our sins and all of the wrong doings. You can't go to heaven by sinning. I'm not perfect, but my self-conscious (spirit) guides me from right and wrong. It all come down to you. What is your final choice?
