Well a sin is anything contrary to the word of God. A bad thought ,swearing ,disobedience, lust ,not telling the truth ,stealing ,deceiving someone , telling dirty jokes etc..... If we sin just 3x a day and live 75 years that is 225,000 sins we will have to stand before God at the white throne of Judgment and be found guilty and sentenced to eternal damnation. Accepting Jesus will wipe those sins clean off the slate. convinced yet? www.fbbc.com

Be not deceived, for God is not mocked
For whatsoever a man sows, that shall He also reap.
If you come to the Lord Jesus with a humble contrite heart, asking for forgiveness of sin, then He will save you.
He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Accepting consequences for strikes should not be the seize 22 subject. of course all human beings ought to settle for consequences for strikes. the form is what you do with the sentiments you have, there is Godly sorrow and worldly sorrow for sins. The Godly sorrow says, i think undesirable approximately what I certainly have carried out, what am i able to do to make it greater useful and what do i could desire to alter with the intention to make myself astonishing in the previous God. The worldly sorrow says, i think undesirable approximately what I certainly have carried out, yet i'll maintain doing it besides or i'm basically sorry that I have been given caught, even though it would not effect in substitute.

Well, I heard that he likes to spend holidays on the SW coast of Italy... Maybe you could get him a Vespa (in pink, of course, as it's his favorite!) and a little sidecar for Mary. Vespas can have sidecars, right? Anyway, if that doesn't get you out of the whole eternal damnation thing, nothing will.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.

What you deserve and what is available are two different things. We all DESERVE (even Christians) to be eternally damned, but through the blood and Gods grace (unmerited favor) we can have life and not feel condemned for every wrong thing we do.

The whole idea is too save people which is exceedingly hard to do. Every single person is going to hell not just you. The only means of shattering that reality was introduced by Jesus. If you don't want his solution you don't have to accept it.

The beauty of Christianity is forgiveness. Repent and your sins are blotted out, as tho they never existed ... you’ve got a life.
