practical- keep the commandments and jesus teachings,

you will be moral

Not his sacrifice but his forgiveness , because I dont see it as a sacrifice I see it as an act of forgiving

Like the chruch gone into some really weird rhetoric and forgets what the important part of the story is

That’s what happened when he died on the cross

Yes

he showed us that we can live righteously and if we do, not even death can bother us ..God will make us lvie again

I am just point out what I feel people miss

k

I am an atheist but I can appreciate the bible you know <:dogekek:726878872607653918>

you don';t sound like an athiest lol

Well we can’t live like god cause of sin, we need to be born again with the Holy Spirit to be able to follow god

but wha tdoes that mean

it means to turn around (repent) and start on right path

then you dont have an excuse

Me every time someone start speaking "Christian".

you can make mistakes..but you have to keep trying

lol

jsut do the right thing

simple

Like you know who stories like " I have no mouth but I must scream" or Dante's inferno have meaning and importance even though they are fictional, like this is how I treat the bible

When you born again(saved) your sin in you dies, and you a born again with the Holy Spirit

so if you steal- you didnt actually steal?

after born again

Well you can still sin

thats what i mean, you still have to repent eacht ime and start again

If you steal a candy as a kid, does that sin stay with you for all your life?

no

children do not udnerstand

to a certain point

Yes if you never ask for forgiveness

Children are born with sin

kdis act on impulse and do not udnerstand right and wrong ..

depends wha tyo umean by child

What does asking for forgiveness mean?

it means to ask god..repent, turn around.. change

Can I get forgiveness from the store clerk?

When you ask Jesus to come into your heart and save u from ur sins Jesus is just and righteous to forgive

Or only God can give forgiveness?

we arent bor nwith sin imo, we are born in a sinful world

>be me
> be atheist
> christian father
> your father refuses to read the bible but still preaches to you about god
> read the bible so you can preach him about god
