How can someone be forgiven if they don't ask? The bible plainly states, to ask for forgiveness and SIN NO MORE, so if you keep on doing it, are you really wanting forgivness?

I was referring to people who don't sin but aren't of any religion. I consider a 'sin' to be basically, something really bad like murder. I don't acknowledge the smaller things people refer to as sinning. If everyone is expected to repent no matter what they've done in life then you are essentially apologising for being human. And if a god created me and expected me to apologise for what I am, then perhaps I would be happier in hell.

Heh, perhaps. 😄 I know I'd put myself in that bracket. 🙂

I dont see the things christians view as sin as sin at all so ........😄😄😄 I am sinless

I do believe... but I was not always that way.. just happened last year
So I use to feel somewhat the same way.. but then things changed .. and I guess you will just have to find the answers yourself because even if I did explain why I believe.. and answer questions .. you would still need to find out for yourself..

If you don't mind me asking. What happened a year ago that made you turn to/believe in god?

yes you are fins, yes you are! smile1

And yet, Darth Revan, you addressed God as a he.

Sorry guys, but the god / religion threads had to be merged into one, there were just too many of them.

So, any other religion or god related disussions, discuss in this thread.

Whoa! 😖 What a mess. Perhaps it would be better to start a whole new god thread?

It is a mess but they had to be merged since all of them were about the same ting 🙁 sorro.

Agree to lil.

I understand. 🙂 There were a few threads discussing exactly the same thing. Just got to make sure that no more pop up now. 😉

But it is a good thing that everybody talks about God instead of Willie Castle.

Is there any chance of disagreeing with Milla? Hell no!

"You have nothing to lose by believing in God, you have everything to lose by not."

True to a degree. But there is still the time and energy you would spend worshiping the existence of an entity of which there is no proof. Your choice really. My choice is to live this life as it presents itself to me. 🙂

Believing in something and worshiping something are different

Not when it comes to the afterlife. If you believe in god but don't worship or repent you still end up in hell. That's already been stated by religious types on this forum many times.

I only address god as a "he" because it a) sounds better than saying just "it" and b) is easier to type than "he/she/it". Like the Quran--Muslims don't believe god is any specific gender, but they still adress god as "him" in their holy book.

You could refer to God by "God." 😬
