Sin Does Not Exist

This is a thought on the idea of what sin is, if it exists then why and how?

I cannot understand the concept of sin,

that somewhere in the universe

a God looks down and judges us

for what we do compared to what.

 

Here is this and there is that.

 

How is one activity better then another?

A plane drops a bomb on a city

killing thousands and this is war.

Two people of the same sex share

their lives and this is somehow inexcusable?

 

This man has sex with this woman

under any circumstances and God

approves of this, and an ocean is filled

with poison to kill the fish to save a buck

and this is perfectly fine since its business.

 

We see those people as doing the unpardonable,

and we see these people as needing God's patience.

 

We see ourselves as trying to be good

and others doing their own version of the same

as earning the fiery pit of hell somehow.

 

Religion has lost its way as far as I can tell.

There is no reason to call into question

the actions of others when we ourselves

are no closer to perfection.

 

Here is this and there is that.

Both are equally close to God

if he is unconditionally loving,

and both equally far away if he is not.

 

I hear people say that this is wrong,

and they've read it in the Bible.

Not one place does the Bible say

to make Christ or Jesus our personal

Lord and Savior, no not once.

 

Nowhere does it say that being born again

is the same as being redeemed or that either

is equal to salvation.  What we have is one

generation after another leaning on the broken

book reports of others and not one person

reading the text as it is, whole and complete.

Read it for yourself, a book at a time.

The text does not say what we have been told;

nowhere does the Bible say that our faith will

redeem us.  If we are so willing to bet that it does,

then why has our great faith not made us sinless?

very well stated..the facts are the facts...the 'truth' is subjective...you have crystalized the facts... great 'sin' is done in the name of politics, big business, progress, patriotism... Jesus rejected the gift of the nations and governments of the world from Satan... saying 'These are not of me'...

I love reading the Bible to refute Christianity.....we have this strange thought that Christianity is the natural progression of biblical reading......
