can i ask a Question, not to be nasty, i just genuinely want to know? If jesus forgives our sins, why bother feeling bad about sinning??
Now that's insightful. Obviously from my posts you can pretty much tell I'm not buying JC and the Sunshine Band, I am a lapsed Catholic after all. Here's my big question..back in 0 AD there were very few people on the planet and most of them were too busy grafteing for food to sin. These days we have 6+ billion people, most of whom are sinning like hell :? . In that case, isn't it time for Jesus to come back and die again in order to absolve us all. Or does he care less about us now than he did back then. Besides, if he did come back and we gave him say...a lethal injection for being a terrorist, would we start the calendar all over again at say 1 ADAD?
I actually don't pee on people with faith, I'm just concerned that people buy into dogma without questioning. I hope it doesn't appear that I'm anti-anything on these forums, it's just that we with SA don't need another 'miracle' cure.
End of sermon. Please deposit cash in the colelction plates as you leave.
the world will only get worse......these passages from luke explain.....
21:5 And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,
21:6 As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.
21:7 And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?
21:8 And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.
21:9 And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.
21:10 Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:
21:11 There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.
21:12 But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.
21:13 And it will be turned to a witness for you.
21:14 So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:
21:15 For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.
21:16 But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
21:17 And you will be hated by all men, because of me.
21:18 But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.
21:19 By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.
21:20 But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.
21:21 Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.
21:22 For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.
21:23 It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.
21:24 And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.
21:25 And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;
21:26 Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.
and when Jesus comes back, he wont be born again and die again, he will come in all his glory
hes already died for the sins of the world
much love, and dont be shy to ask any questions, i love answering them, the bible will answer you
May God Bless You
