Will We See Serial Killers in Heaven?

Actually, you receive forgiveness when you sin and figure out what you did was wrong.

You are forgiven when you ask for it with an open and honest heart. Man is not saved by works.

Says who? A book?

 

[Bumberclyde]

and your god forgives those who are mortal to if they follow the rules
go to a church sit in a closet with a window .
the man the other side who wears a dress asked what sin you commited
you tell him he gives you some prayers to say to a non existent mother of somebody also non existent and you give him MONEY

the church gets richer
you feel better ( then go and do it again )
the victim still has no compensation and has no say in the matter .
the priest then properly goes and abuses a small boy and is forgiven by the hiaracy and hidden away from the public.


what a farce
whos fooling who ??

Satan is fooling you.

You don't recieve forgiveness for following rules. You don't recieve forgiveness for confessing or even forsaking your sins.

You recieve forgiveness by the grace of God. There is absolutely nothing you can do to make God forgive you. If He wanted to, He could sentence you to the full force of Justice and He would be completely justified in doing so.

If you want justice, you will recieve justice. Personally, I want mercy. Because I've done a lot of stupid things in the past that would seriously impede me without the grace of God.

The reason for the Atonement of Christ is because there is nothing we can do to earn forgiveness. If we could, we wouldn't need it.

I would invite you to experiment on the Word of God and learn for yourself that Christ came and atoned for your sins. Maybe you aren't at the point where you will here His voice yet, but when the time is right and you are brought to your knees by life, just always remember that you can be Redeemed through Jesus Christ.

Did you ever think that satan is fooling YOU with that whacky magic underwear...?

Study the scriptures and seek the Lord humbly in prayer and you will be able to discern between darkness and light. You will learn to recognize the voice of the Lord and the Adversary.

If your god is so great, why do I need to read a book to find it?

So no one's ever going to find god without reading the book of mormons? Really?

Avatar's confusion is endless - Remittance is accomplished by the individual through their own initiative ... by any means being the same to accomplish the task - humbly or not.

Sadly correct however JC is primarily found in (their) written Scriptures, to bad and so poorly defined as to illicit a discernible indifference to logic.


no, there will be no "killers" of any kind in the OuterWorld of the Everlasting per its Deity - much less the imaginary Heaven.

The first sin wasn't that Eve ate the apple and gave it to Adam. The first sin was God asking Adam and Eve why they ate the apple, and they both said that it was someone else who influenced them (Adam was influenced by Eve, and Eve was influenced by the serpent), and they refused to take responsibility for their actions, or even admit that they were responsible for the choice they made. They blamed it on someone else.

Their sin was disobeying God.

 

[KevinWestern]

I have no idea...only God knows what's in a person's heart. When you ask for forgiveness, God knows what is in your heart and what you REALLY feel. If He saw that Dahmer was really repentant..then yes, he may be there!

So technically, we all have a free pass to do whatever we want - murder, pillage, rape, steal, extort, cheat, lie, have sex constantly with 30 people, etc - so long as we repent afterwards and truly mean it?

That seems sort of silly to me.

So god puts 2 naked people in a private garden where no one can see them and doesn't think that they'll get it on? WoW! That's one seriously naïve god.

Then the god gets all mad because Adam banged the chick, now how fucking gay is that?

You obviously haven't read the Bible. He didn't tell them not to have sex, he told them not to eat the apple.

They were clothed in the Shekinah glow of God, the same glow Moses had when he descended from Mt Sinai. It was the absence of that cloak they realized. They weren't blind to their reproductive parts up until then, and we have no idea how long or how many children they had already had before the incident occurred.

Eve added to God's word, and Satan used that mistake to his advantage.

God had no problem with them banging, which is why he made the parts for them to bang with. You adding the part about Him being mad cause they "banged" is what God finds fault with, and what Satan takes advantage of.

There is naive and then there's stupid. Eve was naive...........

Which is pointless without definitions of both 'sin' and 'God'.

Was it the sin of fucking with birth control and the God of Abraham, as understood by American Catholics, the sin of drinking, and the God of Abraham, as understood by American Baptists, or perhaps it was the God of Abraham, as understood by rural Muslims from Afghanistan, and the sin of just being a woman?

​

Which begs the question of how impotent the God of Abraham must be, to not have had a more concise picture of Himself evolve by now.

if I remember correctly it was the fruit of the tree of knowledge...not apple...
which reminds me : knowledge is the enemy of faith..
could the two be linked?

I think this whole discussion shows why Christian Doctrine is so messed up.

Yes, if you believe this nonsense, and you think Dahmner was TRULY sincere in his repentence, he went to heaven.

Further, if you believe you can only get into heaven if you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then Ann Frank is burning in hell right now for being a Jew. Right next to the Nazis who killed her, no doubt.

A God this seriously messed up is not worthy of anyone's worship.

Uh, no, you have it quite wrong.

But you've never let that stop you. Carry on.

Sorry Joe, but none of those things you mentioned were "sins".

No where in either the 7 Noahide Commandments or the 10 Commandments does it say that you cannot have sex with birth control, nor does it say that you cannot drink.

As a matter of fact, one of the first things Noah did when the Ark landed was to plant grapes so he could make wine.

Me personally? I think a lot of the Christians get it wrong. Why? Because they try to out purify each other to feel more righteous.

Kind of what the problem was with the Puritans and the witch burnings.

Any religion that says they are better than the others because of the way they believe (and worship God) is suspect.

We should all get together and try to share knowledge, because God speaks to each of us in a different way, but that's because he only speaks to us in language we already understand.

The more you know, the better you can listen to God.

Will We See Serial Killers in Heaven?

I have to paraphrase the best line in this thread so far: If serial killers can repent and go to heaven, I sure ain't passing Adolf the salt!
