Nope, if you contract it and die, then that's nature's way of telling you that you deserved to die. Only the strongest survive.
I thought you might be trolling; thanks for the confirmation.

It was a way to atone for sins. And shepherds would sacrifice the single best lamb of their livestock. Not the worst, the sick. That was out of gratitude for God giving them livestock at all.
So God, the guy you pray to, thinks its reasonable to have stone age shepherds slaughter their most valuable economic in a show of devotion despite the fact that he--being omniscient--could deduce that anyway if he wanted to?

God, for whatever reason, decided to create things that were sinful.

At the time of Creation, humans were not sinful. They were perfect, undefiled. And God didn't create sin itself. Sin's creation came when Lucifer rebelled against God out of jealousy. That desire to be above God, was where sin came into the picture. That desire.

Humanity was perfect, sinless, then they chose to sin. That's why humanity is now sinful by nature: because the very first 2 people sinned, and sin stains deep.


However, we must still seek forgiveness for ours sins.

...why? If Jesus' death was to absolve us of our sins, why must we still seek forgiveness?

Jesus didn't take humanities' sins and erase them. What He actually did, was make a way, open a door.
Salvation is a gift yes, but it's also a choice on your part. You are not forced to make Christ your savior, you are not forced to live in Fellowship with Him.

Jesus gave us the choice of eternal life. And even afterward, we must seek forgiveness daily. Seek renewing. Because we sin daily, we mess up our clean slate over and over, but over and over Christ offers that endless forgiveness.
How do you believe in this bullshit dude? I mean damn, say it out loud and listen to what you're saying, then read some factual stuff about our origins and realize were just advanced animals.

Let me just summarize very easily:


sin = separation from God

If humanity is sinful, it is separated

Christ = redemption from sin

Through Christ, there is no more separation from God. He opens that pathway up for any who choose it.


If you weren't raised in the Church and never really were around it, I could see why it sounds odd to some degree.
But it makes sense if you explain it in a simplistic fashion.
That doesn't excuse God from making sin, though.

There's no such thing as a state of inaction, not even for us, let alone an omniscient and omnipotent deity. There's no such thing as not acting.

Until you get hit by a car on the sidewalk, then you'll wish you had the airbags, wouldn't you?
Not unless I end up brain-damaged and somehow think that would've been worth the pay-off.

Let me ask you this: it's 1853 in England, do you support compulsory vaccines against smallpox?

Except its not, because both are intended to prevent injury or illness. Checkmate.
Did you just completely ignore the whole security-to-inconvenience ratio I mentioned earlier? If anybody's not refuting claims here, it is you.

People have the right to their own beliefs, which will obviously result in their exercise of their own liberty and autonomy, but you have no right to your own facts. Beliefs based on obvious untruths aren't worth entertaining, at all, and I'll lose no sleep over it.

And yet still none of this refutes my claims. Yes, let's implement something even more tyrannical and drastic. Good job, retard
What?

I'm using straw logic to demonstrate how your own straw logic is just that--straw logic.

Getting a vaccine because you could get a preventable illness is qualitatively different to strapping airbags to yourself because you could get hit by a car and you fucking know it.

Now why does that sound like animal sacrifice?

Because it was.
Now what the hell does Yahweh want with dead animals?

You could get hit by a car on the sidewalk, should we force people to where airbags all over their bodies when walking down a sidewalk?
There's quite a clear security:inconvenience ratio which vaccines obviously fulfil and your harebrained responses don't.

Hell, let's use your own logic and justify something reprehensible, just to show how fucking vacuous it is. There's a higher chance of you dying from a preventable illness if you don't get vaccinated, so if your parents or you refuse a vaccine a government agent might as well take you out back and shoot you in the back of the skull.

Do me a favour and think before you speak.

Israel would give an annual "sin offering".
Now why does that sound like animal sacrifice?

but Salvation wasn't as acquirable as it is through Christ.
That still doesn't seem very just. Well, neither does the idea of original sin but there you go.

7003
Humanity was perfect, sinless, then they chose to sin.
That isn't perfect, then.

Quote
Before the Cross, we didn't have a chance at Salvation.
So all of the humans 188,000 years before the life of Christ are in Hell?

Fuck, what about the archaic humans like Homo sapiens idaltu and the Neanderthals, where are they?

I can't even tell if it's a shirt or a jacket.

7005
But if that's the case, what's the whole point in Jesus' sacrifice? If Jesus' death on the cross doesn't absolve us of our sins, why is "Jesus died for your sins" perpetuated?
My philosophy teacher, who's a Christian, can't answer that.

So I've been waiting to ask Turkey >.>

If you don't care about evidence and reasoning that completely and directly refutes the claim that you're making, then you're part of the problem.

It's so the writers can put something worthy of conversation into the first few episodes, because the season is slow off the mark and underwhelming in general.

Apparently splitting the last part of a trilogy into two is a communist invention.
And capitalists have been stretching trilogies into five parts since Adam Smith.

Tech jobs are not going outside the US.
Well, they are, but just not in the way people think.

Nearly everybody has this retarded reaction to 'outsourcing' because they don't realise there isn't a finite number of jobs.

People getting jobs in other countries doesn't mean we can't get them here.

How can people not get the fucking irony of this.

It's like so obvious that I didn't find it even slightly amusing in the first place. And now I'm just annoyed that people can be so fucking stupid.

We used to stand for something then.
Yeah, we used to stand for talking on a forum where the mods would make us sit back down again.

It was good, but it wasn't some fucking nexus of moral crusades and integrity of character.
