Are we prisoners of sin

Yeah, that's why there's always a line to get inside!!!Edited by SammyJean, : No reason given.

How does that not still make it a religious concept in a biblical sence? Doesn't your stated translation of sin still equal "miss" or a mistake. Then when you throw in the biblical sense part, "to miss the mark of the perfect standard of God" that it then becomes a religious concept. Take out the biblical sense part sin = miss or, humans make mistakes.

Tell us Cedre, how it is that this virtuous and pure teaching HAS end up in a bloodbath?
Do you know nothing of history? In particular Christian history?

So how do you feel about other brands of Christianity? Christianity has something like 33,820 different denominations. If one branch doesn't follow the same interpretation of bible that you follow do you dismiss their teachings as plainly man's ideas or man's ideas mingled with satanic ideas? How can you be sure that you have the right branch of Christianity?

Christianity has around 33,820 different denominations. So...then, maybe there is none?

Don't most of the different Christian denominations teach only from the bible, just different interpretations?

I knew that you are a Christian Fundamentalist but, Wow!!! I think if I looked up Christian fundamentalist in an illustrated dictionary your picture would be there. So you are of the serpent handling, arsenic drinking, speaking in tongues, variety of Christian? Kind of like the hillbillies we have in the Appalachian mountains here in the USA? Serpent handling is illegal here be the way. Anyone can claim this. I want to see this kind of healing documented by trained medical professionals, until then dream on brother!
I've see tumors reduced to barely nothing too! It's called chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
You've seen the crippled walk again? Wow! I work at a bio-tech who's research is partially focused on spinal cord injury. I've see rats made to walk again and this summer we will be allow to try this new technology in humans. This is the hope crippled people have in the real world Cedre! In the real world of medicine.
As for the woman slithering on the ground...possessed? I think not! Sound's like a mental health issue. There are antipsychotic drugs on the market that can help with that.
No god magic required!

Excuse me Cerde, but you have this backward! The burden of proof always lies on the person making the questionable claim. Never on the person dismissing it. No they don't! You obviously don't know anything about atheism. Atheist are atheist because there is no scientific evidence that points to there being a god. Lack of evidence, it requires no faith or belief to be an atheist!

This statement contradicts itself! How can god be absolute and fixed forever and always yet change his methods?BTW, are you debating or are you delivering a sermon to the flock, because you post is giving me flashbacks to my youth spent sitting in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
