Rejoicing and Praising Jesus Christ Forum!Unconvinced (an interview request)
I believe that just before God rested, He looked at all that He had created and saw that it was GOOD. It wasn't till down the road that Adam and Eve screwed it up. So God's not really putting you in Hell for being "Human", it's for being a Sinner. You break the law, you're guilty. It's really that simple. That and I don't think theif was a big name. But self-righteous might be, which would be what happens when someone tries to justify their wrong doings. Maybe by man's standards you're not scoring too bad but God's standards are of righteousness. And man's standards kind of grade on curve anyways, like the ones that allow the prostitute to say "at least I'm not a junkie" and the Heroin addict to say "at least I'm not prostituting". "Sin" is actually an archery term meaning to "miss the mark". And when we're taken out of the dim glow of man's standard and put up to a Holy light that reveals all our failures and imperfections, we definately "miss the mark". Let me tell you, if someone told me "We put a chip in your brain at birth and we've been recording everything you've done and every thought that passed through your mind since you were born, and this sunday morning we'll be screening it at your local church in front of all your friends and family." Um, yeah, ...I'd be sweating blood. I'm not even gonna PRETEND to start trying to justify things. The word "mortified" comes to mind, even on a "human" standard being relatively low, that'd be one heaping helping of shame and mortal embarrasment. :roll: ops: |
