Bible+comonsense=RIGHT ANSWER.
I hope that others on here will bear with me it seems that I have some catching up to do I have recently come to this forum and am still learning to navigate it. This is the first discussion I have spent any real time reading through and I have really enjoyed reading the opinions expressed. I saw several statements that I would like to put my two cents worth in on so I'll try to make it brief.
BTW I am already impressed by the respect shown the viewpoints of others here.
God made man in his image in that he made man a spiritual being as God is a spiritual being.
DrJizzle I agree with you a sin is a sin is a sin all will send us to hell if we die in our sin. (without repentance) However there is one and only one that is unforgivable… That is Blaspheming, Grieving, or Denying (they’re all the same thing) the Holy Spirit.
RubyPitbull God is perfection He cannot sin. Let’s take a very simple example Lying… I have a black telephone on my desk (really I do) I’m in conversation with God and he tells me it is white. Is he lying to me? No because he who spoke a word and it came to be has said it is white therefore the phone is no longer black it has become white.
Welcome chaplain john!
I enjoyed you post.
You make a good point.
Peace and kindness,

In the Image and Likeness of God
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)
Its easy to be a sinner than to be holy... GoD does not ask us to be HOLY but to somehow AVOID committing sins... If we are created in HIS likeness, then I assume we are also GOOD inside... it is US and not HIS likeness that makes us commit sins... maybe out of curiosity, or peer pressure or short to say, an outside force that makes us commit such sinful acts...
Just my point of view... Peace

The thing that is a basic cause of us sinning is concupiscence.
Concupiscence is a subject worth much study.
Desire that is good vs. desire that is bad and much more.

I disagree, cheese and peanut butter are not such an appealing mix.Quote:

Thus having accepted the gift of salvation by grace offered by Jesus, which was bought at such terrible cost to him, we can strive toward holiness.Quote:

Possible engage in good or bad activities then happen, mainly bible mention about this in a possibility level, Bible is a religious text with different type of explanations is possible some particular subjects.
No it is very clear that He (Jesus) never sinned. We are all made in his image, but we screw it up by sinning. Sin is what comes between our relationship with Jesus. All have sinned and fell short of the Glory of God... I went years understanding this logically or in my mind. When I was 33 I finally understood this in my heart. When you really want to know the answers that you have for God, just ASK HIM. Believe me he will answer.:)

Very goo post.
God answers yes, but one must listen closely for He speaks very softly most of the time.

I am a Christian so don't get mad. But when he was young didn't Jesus push another kid off the roof and then bring him back to life? I am not too sure where I heard this, and also think that if he did there was a reason for it.Quote:

What? Where do you find this in the Bible?Quote:

I don't appreciate false testimony about the Lord. We are commanded not to lie.
Rev.22:15, Outside are the dogs, those who practice magical arts, the sexually immoral, the murders, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Christians should repent from any blasphemy against Christ In my opinion!
Blasphemy... and from a Christian too...
Anyway, everybody sins at some point in life. But does that make us evil? No. Jesus (for those of you that believe in him) died for all of uor sins. Our sins can be repented, and therefore, be forgiven. Jesus's death on the cross is a reminder to Christians to attempt to do good unto others. If you sin, all's still good, just make sure to mention it during confession. Otherwise... when you die, you go down there.
well, if you read the bible, there is only one way into heaven.
it clearly says "I am the way, the truth, and the life, and there is no way to my father, except through me"(jesus said this)
also, ruby pitbull, we were made in his image, but sin was introduced to us after god created us, by the devil, in the form of the serpent, by using temptation. Since then, we have been tainted by temptation and sin, and heavens doors have been closed to us, for we have all sinned.
yet, through gods amazing love, he sent his son to Die for us, for our sins, he basically went and said "okay guys, im going to get tortured on a crucifix and die, then go to hell, and serve all of your sentences in hell for you, as a proxy, so you can all go to heaven, you just gotta accept what i did for you, and accept me"
How devil can entered a holy place like heaven.
Did anyone here say he did/does?
