Joshthefirst:
Did you ever make a conscious decision to accept God's solution of sin by accepting Jesus as your lord because of the conviction of the holyspirit?
If you didn't, then you were never a christian.
This line is tired bro. You need to come up with something new.

Technically he's right isn't he? I thought Atheism was supposed to be based on facts and logic. Sure knowledge is not belief it is what they consider fact or truth. Isn't it?

Sure atheism is based on facts and logic and it includes the belief that there is no God. I'm okay with defining atheism as a disbelief but so can Christianity. The inanity I detest is the statement that atheism is not a belief which is silly for reasons obvious from my aforesaid definition of atheism.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Joshthefirst: have you ever sinned before sir? Jesus came to save from sin.
And if you have sinned, which I'm sure you have, you stand guilty before God and he will have to judge you right when you die. To make you escape wrath and hell, God made a provision. He sent his word, jesus, to die and pay the penalty for your sins cuz he loves ya. Once you accept jesus' salvation, you're acquitted.

God heals and directs his children. He is a person. He speaks.

why do you guys often jump at every opportunity to preach and you don't forget to mention hell.
You then forget to answer all the questions

In plain English: everyone that refuses Jesus is EVIL. And non believers only refuse Jesus in order to shield their EVILNESS

everyone that commits sin and is unwillingling to be free from sin is evil and rebellious and unloving. Sin is bad. Get your priorities straight sir. For sin, God will cast a man into hell for eternity. That's serious stuff.

what's with you guys and BELIEF? Must everyone be confined in your thinking box?
Heathen: This "sin", what is it?

Whatever Yahweh deems it to be. Like... Not eaten pork, not wearing clothes made of some specific materials, not accepting bullshit etc.


But slavery is ok though, likewise genocide etc as long as he ordered it.


But if you try to object based on rationality and common sense though...HELL!!!!!!!

he's not a hell obsessed God. You're a hell headed person, and He's a love and salvation obsessed God.
That's the reason you hear him calling people to repent everyday. Like now. He's extravagant in saving from sin and giving eternal life.

It's just that some people accept this generous gift. Others refuse and rebel, building shallow false 'reasons' and 'foolish thinking' as their basis for rebellion. Why die? God is not interested in people going to hell.

For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE-GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sin is for christians and no one else right?

Heathen: Sin is for christians and no one else right?

Can you put your question in better terms please?

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The difference is that we christians realized we were sinners and accept God's mercy and salvation and deliverance from the power of darkness.
Re: It Is Dishonest To Describe Atheism As A Lack Of Belief In God (silly Atheism) by Heathen(m): 4:13pm On Oct 16, 2013
Sin is a construct of christianity, for christians and as such, should be of no concern to non- christians.

ps: i have never sinned.
