Why does it have to be that way?", doesn't make it any less true. Fair or unfair, in my opinion it is the Truth and it doesn't really make a difference what the fairness is in it.Jiggy Wrote:I think maybe we get too focused on the sin and not the forgiveness of the sin. 99% of people are going to screw up and lust. It really doesn't hurt anyone, if we are only talking about masturbation, so people write it off as being natural. On the other hand if someone were to steal, murder or whatever, other people get hurt so we punish those perps. In God's eyes if you are lusting you might as well have committed any other sin. A sin is a sin is a sin. The good news however, if you choose to believe it, is that if you ask for forgiveness all those sins are washed away. Yes even murderers.
This is one of my, for the lack of a better term, "problems" with Christianity. In your view, correct me if I am wrong, a serial killer can get to heaven if he asks for forgiveness. However, If I don't ask for forgiveness for over-eating, or for playing the lottery, I am going to hell.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
