Gone Gonzo Posts: 2361 Joined: 1 Aug 2008 | well in my belief system any sin will send you to hell. Only faith in Christ can redeem you. |

It's not the believing in Christ that saves you. Heck according to the bible the devil believes and trembles. rather it's the belief and faith that nothing you can do is good enough for heaven but only Christ can get you there, nothing of your own. Repentance+faith in jesus's saving grace=salvation So any sin is redeemable though Christ, or without Him any sin is unredeemable. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1078 Joined: 25 May 2008 | I'm not seeing every sin I commit as another reason for going to hell. I believe that if I do something I shouldn't I get punished for it in this life in one way or another. Karma all the way. |

Win. XD I don't believe that hell exists, and even if I was Christian I'd feel the same way. Why would something create us with free will, say we can do whatever we want, but than say "not really" and punish us with eternal torture if we do certain things? It's like giving us balls just so he can kick them. Not that I'm saying things like rape are OK. It's a horrible act of inhumanity. I just feel that it's better to not do something because it's harmful to others than to not do it because you're afraid of the consequences. |

Or that. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1771 Joined: 18 Nov 2008 | Would you go to hell for worshipping the wrong god? it's probably safer to have no god... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1120 Joined: 17 Oct 2008 | *finds sneakypenguin's belief system horrifying* Lets see, I plan to have pre-marital sex, I'm not going to be open to the possibility of having children, I believe that god is an asshole if he exists, and nuns are assholes (I do however think that jesus was a pretty good man, granted he existed. Ironically I hate nuns for reasons that make them a hell of a lot different than christ. Like, being bigots who beat children. Jesus did not beat children.......as far as I know and he didn't have a problem with non jewish/christian people), I'm pro-choice, I'm against proposition 8, and I find religion to be a massive waste of time. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3298 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | I've read His Dark Materials and loved it. Im going straight to hell. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3106 Joined: 28 May 2008 | Well the big ones for me: Envy I'll also probably get sent down for lying, cheating, not tithing, not helping those less fortunate than me enough, worshipping false idols (if the context is broadened beyond deities), blasphemy, not honouring the Sabbath, stealing (probably) and sometimes being a bit nasty when I'm hung over. I'll just go the whole "death bed repentance" route to be on the safe side though. Sinning is too much fun. |

Personally I think Jesus made all that crap up so he could convince himself he was going to heaven. Like, "Hey, if I get everyone to believe I'm god so they'll listen to me, and I tell everyone to be a really good person, and they do, then God will have to let me into heaven, because I've helped all these people!" Then all his underground connections to the Jewish Resistance were exposed after the captured fighters were tortured by the Romans. He got killed, his wackiness made him the perfect big-name martyr, the surviving rebels stole his body after jumping the tomb guards, and this story about him flying to heaven to return some day to kick ass was spread underground to keep the movement alive. And because history is weird, this turned into a Greek mystery cult, which eventually became the Catholic Church, which leads us to all the bullfun we have today. I think that explains everything. You're welcome. |

Infamous Scribbler Posts: 603 Joined: 18 Nov 2008 | I'll probably got to hell for everything that I've done so far! If hell exists that is. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3405 Joined: 6 Nov 2008 | Well, just think. Whatever you do that you know is wrong. That's just how it goes. And us, living by our sinful nature, are lucky that we can ask for forgiveness. |
Muckraker Posts: 283 Joined: 25 Sep 2008 | if i remember right we are all born into sin and the only way to go to heaven is to have strongly believe in god. But when it comes to sins anything we do is considerd as a sin and any sin can send you to hell, but if u believe in god (non of that wishy-washy maybe he is maybe he's not real stuff) then your sins will be forgiven and you can go to heaven. at least thats how i think it works. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3405 Joined: 28 Jun 2008 | Surely if I don't follow a religion then that religion's rules don't apply. Therefore I will live forever on Earth? Sorry, I just had to write an Essay on 'Old Man and The Sea'... Actually, that book is sinfully boring. I might have given a crap about all the life-affirmation issues and so forth, if the book wasn't about ninety pages too fucking long. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2486 Joined: 29 Nov 2007 | I prefer Dante Aligheri's definition of Hell. The vast majority of people end up in Purgatory and just work off their sins before going to Heaven. Hell is for people who don't think they've done anything wrong. It's not the sin, it's not whether they think 'Jesus Saves' or some other cryptic nonsense, it's whether they are truly sorry for whatever awful thing they did that warrants punishment. The people in Dante's Inferno are all selfish, repugnant assholes who blame all their problems on other people, including God, and take no responsibility for their conduct. Or as Nathaniel Hawthorne once put it, the only unforgivable sin is to believe that there is an unforgivable sin. |

Nope lol it's the concept of original sin, that is we are born with a sin nature. According to the Bible there is none righteous no not one, and all our righteousness is as filthy rags.
How is going to Church on sunday and trying to model my life after the Bible a waste? I can assure you I have plenty of fun and all that jazz. |

Sad but true. Don't believe what modern liberal priests and pastors tell you. Or at least thats what those silly Christians used to believe, before their religion was about doing anything that will make people bring money to the church. User was banned for: We are all related? a odd little theory. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2077 Joined: 1 Jan 2008 | After banging Satan's wife, I've already been banned from entering Hell in the first place. So none of this concerns me. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1094 Joined: 11 Oct 2008 | As long as you don't completely ruin somebody's life, or end it for that matter, you're ok. I always wondered tho, does killing bugs count as murder to God. If that's the case I'm screwed, St. Peter will show me 500000 pictures of mosquitoes squished, poisoned and burned. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2347 Joined: 21 Aug 2008 | If I'm correct (and I am), Christ taught forgiveness and peace as the most important aspects of ones life. So wouldn't it be safe to assume that no sin will get you into hell? Although I may be wrong on this, I've been taught the only requirement to get into heaven was the belief in god, but of course you get back to the forgiveness thing and you assume that those who don't believe also get into heaven, although I'd like to believe that people who belittle others faith without a full understanding of it (you know who I'm talking to) go to hell, but that would be a horrible double standard on my part. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2599 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 | Well I've already committed Sloth, Envy, Avarice, Gluttony, Wrath, and Pride. So since I haven't committed the last one, I'll get off with a 100 years of purgatory. |

Dayum! That's hardcore... Anyway, I think that the only thing that gets you sent to Hell (or other place of discomfort) is the belief that it exists. And you are sent there immediately, not after death, because you spend your time trying to avoid it rather than doing anything for reasons other than avoiding it... |

Hmm common misunderstanding of God. We like to portray Him as this perfectly loving everything turns out okay no matter what kind of God. (because we like to feel good rather than convicted) Sorry to sound preachy. |
