All people are equal in two senses, we have all sinned and deserve death (as the wages of sin is death)  and we are all of equal value to God.\n\nThat is why He sent Jesus to die for all of us.  It's not about who's worthy, because none of us are.  It's about who is willing to be humble before God and accept His terms of our surrender.  Which, incredibly, are His terms for our salvation.

Dear me.....Jesus who died for you is God in the flesh he has been a part of God forever and he is in total agreement with the father now understand a first born son could be 999 years old also understand that the passover happens today if you do not have the blood of Jesus covering your sins you are a dead man. Seek God and his word for understanding.God's nature is the same today yesterday and tommorow. It is righteous and merciful...God's righteousness demands we be perfect and yet we are not. It is the reason God willingly laid down his flesh to atone for your sin.

if you have no mercy for others than you have no respect for God. God teaches us to have infinate love for everyone and to overlook her/his faults. God is All-Knowing and therefore is capable of judging God's creation accurately. so we can't judge one another. There is a Hidden Word that says "love Me that I may love thee, if thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee..." so yes, i agree that God will not have mercy on those who have not shown mercy to others.

There are some interesting verses in the bible.  God says these things:  "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will harden the hearts of those also whom I choose".  God also likens Himself to a potter, and we are the clay.  He speaks of how He, as God...has the right to choose what to do with that clay.  I don't know why certain people are found of God and certain others are not.  But there is one thing I believe with all my heart:  that God is perfectly just, righteous and holy.  So I do not give up my faith in Him for those things I do not understand.

You pose an interesting question. Your relationship with God is personal, one on one. The kind of person you are and how you live your life will dictate your delivery from an eternal death. God created you as an individual with free will. How you interact with people, animals and most importantly, God will count on judgement day. I do not believe in organized religion. If your heart is good and you treat people with respect and dignity, help out in your community to build a better place for everyone and thank God for his many blessings you are on the right path. Just live your life treating all people and things as you wish to be treated, never judge another person and always understand that we are all the same. God loves you for you and he knows your heart and soul. He will never give you anything more than you can handle and will always comfort you in any situation. You need to have faith and believe in him, and he will in turn deliver you.

People who continually sin, without a conscious..need to check their salvation. If they don't turn there life around they will go to Hell BUT if you ask for forgiveness and mean it, (and turn from your wicked ways)..he will save you..

To Answer Your Question...The Problem Is Either Lack Of Knowledge In God's Word Or Fear!..  (Cowards)....90% Of This Website Is Made Up Of God Hating Heathen's & Atheist!...It's True, We As Christians Who Walk In Love ..But Also, We Are To Stand Up For What's Right As Jesus Did In (John 8:44)....It's Not A Double Standard!....Heathen's & Atheists Log Into This Website To Preach To Religious/Spiritual Folks With Their Fantasies & Man Man Theories To Stir Up "Strife" Judge, & Condemn And It Is Not Fair To The Religious/Spiritual People Who Wants To Share & Receive Blessings From Each Other!...All Of Jesus Prophesies Has Come True. Jesus said That Those Who Serve Him Would Be "HATED" Of All Men For His Name Sake, But He That Endureth To The End  Shall Be Save".(Matt. 10:22)....Christian's Need To Understand That They Are Not "Pushovers" And To Stand Up & Speak Up For The God That They Serve And Not Allow "satan" To Defeat Them Or Intimidate Them As They Walk In Love!

to stay in gods love and to love others .. know that hes eternal never ending... to love god with all your heart...i have never heard of saving with fear... but god states to fear not for i am with you... and the only thing we have to fear is fear its-self... we are here on this earth to make a difference in peoples lives by showing that lives through us... to love someone even if they hate you... but as Christians we aren't supposed to hate one another... we are supposed to love one another...

What a wonderful question.....NO!!!....Sin is something that although is inherited from our forefather, is totally against all the God stands for.  To me, people who think that repentance gives them the right to continue living the way they want as opposed to the way the Bible says we should are living in deep denial..........What's the sense in asking for forgiveness if you're just going to turn around and repeat the offense again....Also, how sincere is an apology when you continue to repeat the same behaviors that you apologized for in the first place?

Cry out to the Lord and ask him to forgive you.  Repent and ask Him to help you.  A lot of times we try to handle things on our own and make it on our own, and that is why we fail over and over again.  But God said to acknowledge Him and seek Him for everything.  If God wants you to be saved, righteous, and holy (and He does!), don't you think that He will help you be those things if you ask Him?\n\n\nYou cannot do it alone!\n\n1 John 5:14  \nAnd this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: \n15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. \n\nJames 4:7 \nSubmit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. \n\nProverbs 3:6  \nIn all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.\n\nMatthew 26:41 \nWatch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.\n\nPrayer.  Ask the Lord to help you.\nIf you trust Him and seek Him, He won't leave you or forsake you, but He will do just what He said.

As long as you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, as long as you love and follow God, live an honorable and decent life and love your fellow man as yourself. I think you've pretty much got it covered, Each Christian denomination has such varying beliefs about "certain points" of Christianity, it's almost laughable. All you can do is learn all you can about them all, make up your OWN mind, and stick to your beliefs. You pick a Christian denomination to align yourself with based in which one fits your beliefs most closely. You don't have to accept every little picky point of any of them.

Sadly it is a bit like that, let's try to keep it peaceful. My god is big enough to fight his own fights, it is his place to judge not ours, the bible teaches to accept all people and to pray for the lost whatever their beliefs. Anyone on here who wants to spread hate, you are not talking for your God but for your own hate.

Don't oppress yourself with wondering about whether something is a sin or not.  Jesus said the most important commandments were love God and love your neighbor as yourself.  In the OT God expects God's people to care for the widow and the orphan, to do justice.  So don't sweat the small stuff, if you are seeking to do your best then believe that God is a God of grace and love, not some big judge waiting to condemn us all.

God loves you regardless of your choices , he doesn't rule over us he gives us a guide to live by and then allows us freedom of choice . God created you with a mind and a sense of right and wrong as well as the ability to tell the difference . you have freedom to choose . It is man and his religious bigotry that sits in judgment over man not God . If you read the teachings of Jesus and only the teachings of Jesus you will understand that God is love and not the mean spirited and judgmental Deity that the religious right wing would have you to believe he is . All of us sin a fall short of the glory of God , Jesus died and shed his blood that all may have everlasting life and have it more abundantly . So all sin is covered by the blood of Christ and may be forgiven . You need to only ask forgiveness and It will be given .

While Christianity feels all human life is holy and a gift from God, the Christian ethics have no problem with a person risking or giving up his life for the sake of others. This is what Jesus did. This is not considered suicide.\n\nA completely different and more complicated question is whether it is ethical to kill one person to save many. I don't think this would be ethical, "The end does not justify the means."\n\nWith love in Christ.
