Mrs Mungo Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The idea of everybody being a sinner *is* sort of to wish people well. It was to say that we are no longer Jew and Gentile or us versus them, but all on equal footing. We are all sinners in need of redemption. This is not to try and influence you toward my religion, just to explain that it is not an insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about trying to elaborate on that, but I didn't want to get sucked into that thread. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I guess it depends on your definition of sin. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There are groups of people who get pretty ugly with the whole sin concept. Yes, well Christianity doesn't come with a personality transplant, which is unfortunate in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 LOL I have a sense/feeling towards what is right or wrong (according to my own beliefs), but I don't attach judgement or punishment by a deity to it. KWIM? edited...I LOLed because I had a silly thought about sinning and chocolate cake... Well, for *Christians*, they generally that those feelings stem from God, whether you believe in Him or not. But, I am not one to claim that atheists have no morals. Yes, well Christianity doesn't come with a personality transplant, which is unfortunate in some cases. True.

GoVanGogh Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 LOL...I feel so special.:lol:I'm thinking having your name in a post heading along with the word "sin" is way more cool than being banned? :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
