Re: A legitimate question

I don't even like babies. They give me hives. But they've never really struck me as being particularly sinful or conniving little creatures.

I will say there were times during the infancies of my own daughters when I was, at least briefly, convinced that each was evil incarnate, which gave rise to feelings that I was evil incarnate.

Still the question that began this thread remains unanswered. Or is it unanswerable?

We already answered. The Jews did it.

And yes, your children probably are picking up some of your disgusting nature. I advise baptizing them, if you have not done so, and learning to accept Jesus and teach His word to them.

Above is a typical example of athiest double talk. This godless heathen then goes on to say that infant are in fact sinful and he has personal experience to back it up. Continue reading...

Now how can we ever trust the words of a creature who denies that which he has personally experienced? This proves that atheist know that God is real, but dispite the overwhelming evidence for the existence of God they deny Him out of spite. Clearly, another ex-catholic who thinks they can get back at Jesus by denying Him. But this idiot is only hurting himself.

The sins of mankind had built up to a boiling point where no man could ever make up for his own sins alone. That's why He came to us in the flesh. Jesus punishes the son for the sins of the father. That accumulated to alot of inherited sin after 4000 years of human debauchery. Jesus took the burden for the sins of all mankind, cleaning them away with His most holy blood. Only the blood of God was holy enough to do the job. No sacrificed unblemished cows or goats would do any longer. God was done savouring the smell of burnt animal guts and fat. All you have to do is accept His temporary sacrifice and your slate is cleaned. That way, as long as you don't commit any further sins you will be good to go on Judgement Day.

Even Jeffrey Dahmer was cleaned of sin when he accepted Jesus while incarcerated and will now join us in Heaven while Mother Teresa will burn in Hell for all eternity for being a Mary-worshipping papist witch despite all her "good deeds". Salavation is so easy, sinner. Please, for the sake of your eternal soul, accept Jesus into your heart!!!

Re: A legitimate question

Incidentally, Rev. Osborne, do you point me toward Bible passages to answer what you cannot in your own words? I'd like to know how the clergy explain this in a conversation ostensibly aimed at converting someone to your beliefs. Are you or any among you able to put it into words instead of simply citing scripture?

Wow, you are dense. It comes down to a simple question of faith. Do you have it or do you not?

I have seen so many of you in my short time here, who infest this place and demand proof of what is all around you, boy.

You think it's all some random sequence of events? That makes more sense to you than God?

Re: A legitimate question

What do Christians mean when the say today that Jesus died "for their sins" some 2000 years ago?

This question doesn't ask for proof of "God", Levi. I asked for a simple, plainly-worded explanation of the phrase, "for their sins". You game?
