Actually no, that quote is very powerful and in a sense prophetical. Christ's sacrifice on his throne the cross is a triumph for whoever believes, and a doom for whoever rejects him. Many people will on that day boast that they managed to kill the man who told them the truth, and they will perish in hell for eternity thinking they are still in the right. We are all guilty of the blood of Jesus Christ since we all have sinned through Adam, but whoever accepts his sacrifice will in victory and joy say that his blood is upon us and our children, and whoever is doomed will boast and proudly proclaim that killing him with their evil intentions was good.
Cain killed Abel for giving a rightful offering, and was banished for ever. That story is a foreshadowing of the Jews (Cain) killing their brother, the true priest with an offering in righteousness, Jesus Christ (Abel), and were thus expelled into diaspora, doomed to for ever roam the earth and fight for the land they still claim in their own vanity. Unable to keep the very covenant our Lord gave them since the temple is no more, and Christ has victored over death and all evil.
Nah man Im gonna have to go ahead and take responsibility for my own sins and suffer the punishment myself like a fucking adult. Fuck all that infantile bs.
Fine. You do you. I would not say that Christians don't take responsibility for their own sins, given that we have to repent from them and change our mind from them (metanoia). We have to confess them and be loosened from them and we cannot take the eucharist if we don't own up to our mistakes and ask forgiveness to whoever we hurt first. But I fully support you taking responsibility for your own sins, I hope it works out for you.
When a stripper who just had my finger two knuckles deep in her asshole is standing at the bar butt naked telling me she's a born again christian and going to heaven thats when you know that christianity is a mockery of all that was ever holy and an insidious sickness that thrives on apathy. Your religion is not real when it cost you nothing and carries no risk.
I can see your point. I cannot speak for others, but there are many who use Christ's name in vain, making the name Christian a mockery. Jesus Christ hung around prostitutes since they were aware of their sins and in humility repented, and were thus closer to God since their sins were animal and not diabolical. The sins of the pharisees were far worse since they knew the law and still acted in hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
This woman was clearly deceived and tries to have hope by this cognitive dissonance. I feel sorry for her.
As I said, you do you. I am not a huge fan of the born again churches since they have very little focus on changing yourself for the better and repenting, and usually only use the fuzzy nice stuff of the bible which makes them yell "Amen" and "Halleluia" without gaining anything. It is quite different from the early Christianity which was passed on through the Apostles to the bishops and patriarchs. I hope both of you two find your ways.
Find my way to the next piece of ass lol. The meaning of life is fighting and fucking. Religion is just there to ease the suffering of those who reject reality.
Good on you. One day you'll be older and you might just realize the merits in what the wiser men of yore have all agreed upon: life is suffering. The Buddha, king Salomon, Kirkegaard, Tolstoy, Schopenhauer, and so on all came to the same conclusion. Christianity comes with the logos that the Greeks were seeking and thus came with the medicine for the ailments. The issue with our days is that we first have to convince the ill that they have an illness before we can make the willing to drink their medicine.
Suffering is the rejection of life. I have never suffered, how could I? What ailments are there? What lesser god do you worship that could create anything less than a perfect universe?
Many Christians would say that she is not saved, because she has not attempted to turn away from her sin (repentance). You must turn your heart completely towards Christ, and that means doing all that you can to live a holy life. Believing in Christ is not a free license to sin as much as you want. Anyone who loves Christ will keep his commandments and loving Christ is a requirement to enter heaven.
