Originally posted by Rajk999Your passionate distaste for other people's sins neither means you yourself are righteous before God, nor that the teachings you mention are in fact erroneous.
First, nothing in my post should make you think that Im focusing on the lives of others. It should be obvious that my post was about the wrong teachings of modern Christianity. And thats a serious matter.
Next, many here [Jaywill for eg] believes that even the most serious or sins are not punishable with damnation as long and the Christian is 'saved'. 'Saved' being that he proclaims with his mouth that he accepts Christ as his saviour.
Perhaps you could re-read the accounts of Moses the murderer, David the adulterer (and murderer by intent) and Peter who renounced/denied Christ three times. Men after God's own heart, leaders and evangelists. Gross sinners all and all repentant which is the key.
Maybe re-read Jesus talking about the "unmerciful servant" in Matt 18:
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
