Ten Commandments is a GREAT place to start.
If you can follow that......as well as avoiding the 7 DEADLY sins....I'd say you in good stead.
Many will say "But"..."but"...."but".
All good too.....
I have always preached..you are free to be anything..even atheist.....
But whatever you ARE...just PRAY that YOU ARE RIGHT !!!!

I went fishing with Jesus in Cabo a few years back. Not sure what all the fuss about Jesus being a great fisherman is, we caught nada.
i heard one time that same Jesus caught 40 in an hr...and baked 40 taco shells to go with it!!I went fishing with Jesus in Cabo a few years back. Not sure what all the fuss about Jesus being a great fisherman is, we caught nada.
Jesus was pretty accepting of the SP community as far as I can tell...says the guy on an escort review board
You obviously got caught up in a bait in switch. The real Jesus doesn't use a boat to fish - he just walks on water. (que snare drum).I went fishing with Jesus in Cabo a few years back. Not sure what all the fuss about Jesus being a great fisherman is, we caught nada.
Your Jesus probably had his brother-in-law, Angel, bait the hooks.(que snare drum)
In fact if it was the real Jesus, he would of fed the multitudes with your catch even if you got skunked.
Weren't the commandments and 7 sins written by God at the hand of Moses? I believe there's a lot more to Christianity than that.Ten Commandments is a GREAT place to start.

So your thought is that the one unforgivable sin is fornication?says the guy on an escort review board
That one can be a person of the most thoroughly depraved nature who murders children without even a seconds reflection, and yet they are capable of redemption while someone who for all you know lives a life of great goodness but who occasionally patronizes SPs and posts on TERB is beyond hope? If that is your belief I don't doubt that you have difficulties with Religion.
The difference is contrition. Someone who is still on terb obviously has none.So your thought is that the one unforgivable sin is fornication?

Reminds me of this dude who always went on like some evangelical fundie yet kept cheating on his girlfriend. He was counting on being able to seek forgiveness before he died. If there was a god and he bought into that shit, he is a pretty dumb dude.
Nor should they, living your life on the basis of fictional or at best fictionalized characters is a pretty dumb thing to do.
Anyone who takes the bible seriously probably watches the movie 300 and believes there were zombies at Thermopylae.
Entirely true!I would suggest it means different things to different people.
I might also suggest that there are many interpretations of what his teachings mean.
According to Christian theory though, one is not expected to make the cut on following the law alone.
I would also suggest that for over 1600 years the following has been held to sum up the core of the faith.
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of the Father before all worlds,
God, of God; Light, of Light;
very God, of very God;
begotten, not made;
being of one substance with the Father;
through whom all things were made:
who for us and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man,
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried,
and the third day he rose again
according to the scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father.
And he shall come again with glory
to judge both the living and the dead:
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father,
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshipped and glorified,
who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Huh? Jesus ate and was followed by woman considered "whores" and undesirables in a time when hanging out and eating with them got you the DEATH PENALTY. He put his life on the line to make the lowest and those deemed undesirable and sub human feel like human beings worthy of his Kingdom. Whether you believe he is the Son of Man or just an outlaw- what he did for what society considered the untouchables of the day is amazing.says the guy on an escort review board
And remember the accusation thrown against Jesus wouldn't result in a fine or "John School"- it was death.
You'll get a lot of smart ass answers for very bitter and disillusioned people (disenfranchised?) but understanding Jesus is complex. And he means different things to different people- Messiah, outlaw, lunatic, fraud etc. It's all been debated.
Nor living your life following the teachings of a very bitter paralyzed man or an opium sniffing weirdo who's theory is anything but "evolved" make you smart.The difference is contrition. Someone who is still on terb obviously has none.

You don't see any difference between the Adultry and Fornication? You don't believe that in some narrow situations Adultry may be a lesser sin than the alternatives?The difference is contrition. . .Reminds me of this dude who always went on like some evangelical fundie yet kept cheating on his girlfriend.
Talk of a fire and brimstone God!
