Sometimes we need to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of others

physically is

firstly you added because of god's infinite mercy which isnt in the quote

The acceptance of earthly suffering to establish a better future

Im explaining

secondly the quote implies action

''He has''

Yes

To plant trees we'll never sit in the shade of

He has forgiven us

No.

He has not punished us enoough

or for all we deserve

I dont see the word enough in there

That's such a masochistic mindset

for all we deserve is a synonym for, not everything that shouldve but still some

Let me try to explain how i reached the interpretation @OrthoGoat give me one moment

In a world built on punishment, nowhere does good exist because all there will be is sin and retribution

'He has not punished us as we deserve'

He = God

has not punished us = did not punish us as much

as we deserve = as we deserve to be punishedd

@OrthoGoat

Yes.

Thats the exact same thing i said

We have the same interpretation then?

not from what you were saying earlier

I don't believe an inifitley merciful God would punish you if you die clean

If you dont die clean, it is understanadble

what does dying clean mean?

Dying without sin

with 0 sin

When you pray for forgiveness, past sins are null

thats a bit extreme

It is effectivley a clean slate

a bit wrong aswell

so then everyone can be Jesus Christ at the end of their life if they pray

wdym?

just be a sodomite and pray its fine

I mentioned earlier, assuming youve been a lifelong christian

thats a very low brain take and i want you to back it up

Back up what

the claim that through prayer your past sins become null

forgiven is one
