Damnit, you ruined the effect then. I wanted to see his reaction.

* ok... i'll just stop... hehehe... chill out, guys... my reaction? 😱 😆

Hello All,

Just wanted to see how everyone was doing. I'm a believer of God, the great one above all...God almighty. I may not be God, but I pray that all come to a common fellowship and belief in the true God, and that we love one another in fellowship with Christ Almighty. God bless with love. Stephen

Thank you, but you don't realize just how negative that is from my point of view.

You wouldn't make even a slight sacrifice in order to produce a world-wide utopia? That's amazing.

A cage is not a world-wide utopia.

The idea that man is condemned by an original sin, and therefore we need a Christ to save us from a hell after death. That is a cage.

I'm in complete agreement. Well said.

I'd much prefer we all come to love one another without intervention from fictional characters.

To put it into loose terms: what was Eve doing with that apple?

* in Christianity, sin cannot be inherited (Ezekiel 18:20)... so there's no such thing as original sin... Eve is deceived, Adam was not (I Timothy 2:14)... it was Adam who committed sin... Christ saving a person from sin is not connected to the sin committed by Adam but the sin committed by the person him/herself... 😉

Then it is possible for a person to be sinless.

* in the Bible, all people sinneth... but sins can be forgiven, moreso if done unwillfully, so it is really possible to be sinless in the eyes of God...

If god can forgive, then why did Jesus die on the cross? According to Christian mythology, or at least Christian mythology that I am aware of, Jesus was sacrificed to atone for the sin that Adam made. The reason for that was because god could not forgive.
