[quote:Anonymous Coward 1454000:MV8xNTc3MDg0XzI2MDYzNDI1Xzc1NzRBOEY5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1371470] [quote:Scrodiddles] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1371470] To answer your question for others; That one man Adam fell to death the one man Christ rose from death. The old covenant was full of sacrifice of animals for the forgiveness of sin, the Jews could not keep the covenant internally or in their heart. The New Covenant is in the belief of that one that was killed for telling the Truth..Jesus Christ, his one death was a last sacrifice for all, and if one believes he is God's Son and he rose from the dead, eternal life is the result. [/quote] You really lost me there. I don't understand how the death or rising of individuals changes the rules of the after life. At that point it just seems like God changes his mind at will and people being sacrificed becomes pointless. [/quote] You reveal yourself with your question, you already had an answer to your question before you posted it. Why are you asking lowly me ask God, why did mankind decide to mate with non-humans? It pissed God off.....that is the knowledge of Good and Evil.....mixing our DNA with that of another forbidden DNA, thus we fell from the Tree of Life! The result is death....from the fall.....life results from the one dead man rising...victory over our fall....! [/quote] Ahem, Humans were raided, raped... Men were killed, mostly; women were taken "by the Sons of God" (fallen angels) and kept for breeding. This history is in our DNA; hence some women despise children, or kill their children, PTSD... cause they were once used to breed and born Dark Avatars. Men often feel emasculated, and are quick to prove their worth; cause once they were killed, or enslaved to work. [/quote]

I am actually being sincere here. I was raised in a Southern Babtist home and have read the bible a fair share of times, but I am at a total loss when it comes to understanding how Jesus dying on the cross translates into me being forgiven for my "sins".
And please don't just post scripture that just states it matter-of-factly as if I should ignore that we live in a world where things have to correlate.
So they torture him, place him on a cross, and then wait for him to die. He passes away, is reborn and then ascends to heaven. Now I get forgiven if I have impatient thoughts? How does that work? Did he die, go to heaven and flip on a breaker switch, resurrect on earth to check if it worked and then just strolled on back to heaven? What happened during his death that made our sins forgivable?
It's like a father bursting through the door and telling his son that cursing is now allowed in the house because he hit a deer on the way home. How in the world is it connected?
