god is immoral for holding current men responsible for sins of the past
what reasonable deity holds people responsible for the actions of their supposed ancestors 6000 years ago? Because adam and eve committed an offense against their god, that god holds everyone after that responsible for the original transgression.

This is the height of immorality, and is the BASIS for the christian need for a savior. It also shows that the christian god doesnt think personal responsibility is a good idea, either.


No wonder christians are in fear of their god: its an unstable monster who does things that make no sense.

The problem lies withing your own brain and it's inability to understand in depth what Jesus taught. Don't take it personally, 99.9% of Christians have zero understanding as well.

Was that the teaching of jesus where he supports killing children that dont honor their fathers and mothers? (matthew 15:1-7)

Or the teaching of jesus where he says that people who wish to be perfect should sell their possessions and give to the poor? (matthew 19:21)

Do you also follow the commandments, according to jesus:
Do not murder
Do not commit adultery
Do not steal
Do not bear false witness
Honor your father and mother
And curiously, love thy neighbor as thyself
(Matthew 19:18-19)
(he is really serious about the honoring the father and mother, as shown above, and i find it interesting that jesus is naming commandments that arent commandments.)

Some one wanna tell me again what Jesus was doing on that cross 2000 years ago? I had thought he died for my sins, but maybe I was wrong.

Why did the cross answer Yes, when asked if he had preached to those asleep?

Lets see your evidence that jesus even existed in the first place, because you would be the first. Until you do that, you can claim whatever the hell you want, but its meaningless.

Oh, and if you are going to present Josephus or Tacitus as evidence, try again. both of their mentions of jesus are widely accepted to be later forgeries by christian scholars.

Also, if you are going to use the shroud of turin, try again. It depicts a person who is 2 inches taller in the front than in the back.

Not only that, but the entire idea that Pilate would allow Barabbas, a KNOWN revolutionary and and rioter, to go free in place of jesus is fucking ridiculous.

Thanks for sharing your views OP.

Scripture tells us that God holds each man responsible and accountable for their own actions and words and thoughts.

That each man reaps what he sows.

God gives a man instruction and counsel in ways that benefit a man, Not God. Each man is free to do with these things as he sees right.

We can chose to listen and accept and follow his advice, or ignore it.

I suspect this is not new knowledge to you. I suspect this knowledge is within the heart of all men.

...and so we each do what we are compelled to do.

Yeah and why would the Sanhedrin deliver him to Pilatus anyway. They had the power to stone him to death for religious crimes.

No, if they sent him to Pilatus, he must have been into some deep dirty criminal business.

Hahahha!

God is NOT holding anybody responsible, and HE/She/It would dream of holding anybody responsible. Much less considering "sins."

That is all man made, in order to control their fellow man.

There are NO sins.

Do you think THE God of Creation, the Omnipotent Being needs anything from what It created. It DOESN"T need anything!

It would have been infinitely better to have never lived, than to have lived a fucked up existence in a fucked up world, and then spend eternity being tortured because you didn't get the message right.

If Adam's sin condemned his seed to hell, why not just kill Adam and be done with it?

Personally, I don't condemn my dog for licking his ass or smelling other dog's asses or fucking some stray bitch, after all, he's just being a dog. Dogs do what dogs are created to do. Men do what men are created to do.

What a difference it would have made if God had put a better processor in his self-replicating robots and we weren't so stupid. Imagine how this world would be if we all had the IQ of Einstein, or greater. Prisons are full of stupid people. Why? Because they're stupid. They don't grasp the finer details of living trouble free.

He doesn't. We are punished in a sense because of previous generations because of their lack of obedience. ie. Family members who are responsible for demonstrating the law, respecting the Sabbath, honoring the Commandments are going to have a negative impact on their children's lives and jeopardize their salvation.

But other than demonstration our ancestors transgressions are not weighed upon our heads.

We are individually responsible for our transgressions. Not for our forefathers.

And to me 'Original Sin' if you believe in that isn't meant to imply that we are held accountable for anyone's actions other than our own, but we can suffer because of the actions of others, but that is not judgement from God when we suffer because of the actions of others.

This is the problem with christians. YOU CANT EVEN AGREE AMONGST YOURSELVES WHAT YOUR RELIGION TEACHES!

Original sin is, according to a doctrine proposed in Christian theology, humanity's state of sin resulting from the Fall of Man. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin nature," to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt by all humans through collective guilt.

Because they are disruptive to the collective agreement known as a society. Nothing at all to do with god.

If you study nature, you will see that all social animals have at least a rudimentary morality. Individuals are punished for transgressions against others, or against the tenets of the group as a whole.

You ones have no idea of what God is, because of the silly book you follow.

Jesus was real, but what is taught about him is false for the most part.

Tell that to Paul. He certainly didnt write like he thought jesus was real, and he is the entire basis for the christian religion.

Oh, and lets see the evidence for your jesus being real. We have only been waiting for 2000 years for that one.

Re: god is immoral for holding current men responsible for sins of the past
what reasonable deity holds people responsible for the actions of their supposed ancestors
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1343060


He doesn't. We are punished in a sense because of previous generations because of their lack of obedience. ie. Family members who are responsible for demonstrating the law, respecting the Sabbath, honoring the Commandments are going to have a negative impact on their children's lives and jeopardize their salvation.

But other than demonstration our ancestors transgressions are not weighed upon our heads.

We are individually responsible for our transgressions. Not for our forefathers.

And to me 'Original Sin' if you believe in that isn't meant to imply that we are held accountable for anyone's actions other than our own, but we can suffer because of the actions of others, but that is not judgement from God when we suffer because of the actions of others.
 Quoting: Tyranny of Evil Men


This is the problem with christians. YOU CANT EVEN AGREE AMONGST YOURSELVES WHAT YOUR RELIGION TEACHES!

Original sin is, according to a doctrine proposed in Christian theology, humanity's state of sin resulting from the Fall of Man. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin nature," to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt by all humans through collective guilt.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1343060


That's why men are individually responsible for study of the law and discerning the truth themselves, not relying upon Benny Hinn or snake handling Christians to rely upon for doctrine. If you rely upon the Holy Spirit to interpret doctrine for you, another mans differing opinion isn't going to matter. Because you understand it. Therefore that doctrine has ONE MEANING, to you! And what some "professional" preacher who is using tithing money to hire gay prostitutes thinks the same scripture is going to mean won't matter.

Never pin your faith, belief in God, or your understanding of doctrine upon another man. It will have negative consequences. Each man is capable of receiving individual inspiration and understanding of doctrine and scriptural law upon receiving the Spirit upon abandoning serious transgression. I have even seen non-Christians be inspired and they didn't even know that it had occurred. Including people on this forum, some of whom very likely haven't abandoned transgression.
