Which is true.Which has nothing to do with the plentiful good sense that is actually in the Bible.A socially-liberal person like yourself probably doesn't see much worth in what I'm talking about, though.
You can't follow the Bible without also listening to the shitty stuff it says.

In fact, I struggle with the idea of hell in general.
But you don't believe in God, and God created sin. Sin [or rather, unrepented sin, depending on your flavor of Christianity] is what sends you to hell. Without God, there is no sin.

You said earlier that you believe in heaven and hell, yet don't believe in God. Without God, there are no rules by which you are sent to heaven/hell.
Quote from: Mad Max on March 02, 2016, 02:02:30 PMGod created sin.Do you actually know anything about Christianity or are you just baiting
God created sin.
God created all things, including the rules for what is or isn't sinful.
No man has the authority to tell another where God will send them. I struggle to believe a follower of Christ's message, inadvertent or not, could be justifiably sent to hell.Midget's retarded, this is nothing new.
I'm retarded for telling God's truth? If you deny Him you go to Hell, it's that simple

It literally means "missing the mark". There isn't a list of sins, there isn't a rule for what is and isn't sin. Sin isn't something that is "created" per se, it refers to man's failure. OUR failure. Not God's.

Wrong. If you've been introduced to God's word and still deny Him, you have made a choice. THAT is how it works.
It is a constant contradiction between belief and doubt, a continual renewal of faith in the face of doubt and skepticism.
