]]> Comment on Lieutenant Dan, What Are You Doing Here? by compassiondave http://compassiondave.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/lieutenant-dan-what-are-you-doing-here/#comment-1653 compassiondave Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:18:15 +0000 http://compassiondave.wordpress.com/?p=797#comment-1653 Am I living in sinful denial? Not that I am aware, but honestly, only Jesus knows a man's true heart. Do I find comfort in lies? I use to, but not any more. As for today's blog (if you are insinuating that it is a lie), then I would defer to God. He wrote the foundational doctrine that supports what I wrote, although I confess that compared to Paul's illustration, my use of the Lt Dan analogy is rather lame. Am I capitalizing on others somehow? I don't think so--it seems that right now, you and I are the only ones who took any notice. lol My friend, I am happy to discuss with you the merits of the thread, but meet me half way and put forth thought provoking questions or comments, otherwise it would seem that you are just looking for an argument. And I don't do arguements. God bless you bro. Am I living in sinful denial? Not that I am aware, but honestly, only Jesus knows a man’s true heart.

]]> Comment on Homosexuality and Murder and Strife, Oh My by compassiondave http://compassiondave.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/homosexuality-and-murder-and-strife-oh-my/#comment-1638 compassiondave Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:34:22 +0000 http://compassiondave.wordpress.com/?p=788#comment-1638 Hello Asad, welcome back! God would essentially tell us that it isn't so much that sin (any sin) is bad, but that sin is bad for us. The worse thing of course is that the tineist of sins seperates us from God for eternity. The only solution Asad to our sin-problem is found in our faith in Jesus Christ--no works, just faith... that He died for our sins, and rose again proving that He is Lord and Savior. We are called to be responsible for all our sins--for example, I can murder a person and be forgiven, but I am still responsible for having broken the law and could be executed myself for the offense. The Good News is if that were the case, my salvation is still intact. On an earthly level, you are correct--we are to bear the consequences of our sins. But on an eternal and Heavenly level, Jesus takes all those sins away. All we need do is believe. God bless you Asad Hello Asad, welcome back!

I'm familiar enough with Christianity that none of the points it raised are new to me, but I did start to wonder about the idea that everyone is a sinner. If you say that everyone is a sinner and the wages of sin are death, doesn't that ignore the distinctions between people? First off, if everyone is a sinner, why should I feel bad about being a sinner? It's almost like defining sinner as "human" so being a sinner just means being human. Also, a reasonable person can see that some sins are small and some are big. Overeating at lunch is minor. Committing genocide is major. My point is that I don't need a savior to die for my sins if they're so minor that I can be responsible for them. I believe each person bears the burden of his or her own deeds. http://asad123.wordpress.com A girl handed me a Christian tract on the street yesterday.

I certainly understand the quandary and state of perplexity, because I was once there myself. But the further I delved into my faith, or more accurately, the more I utilized the wee faith I had been given, the more I understood how God's perfect righteousness dismantles that <i>seemingly</i> contradictive attribute of Himself. I enjoyed the dialogue--please stop by again. Thank you bro! I certainly understand the quandary and state of perplexity, because I was once there myself.
