Re: Love Your Neighbor - A Law?
I think I read somewhere in the Psalms something to the effect of, if you aren't aware that you are sinning, then you aren't sinning. I think the point being that sin is willful and deliberate disobedience to God. There is that verse too about how the conscience bears testimony to the guilty thing. So from what I understand is that one can only sin so long as they are aware that it is sinful to begin with. I guess that means that if God didn't specifically instruct Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit it wouldn't have been a sin.
So, atheists will make into Heaven easier than Christians because the Christians know every time they sin, and if they forget to ask forgiveness for one of their sins, they have a problem. Whereas atheists, not thinking there's a god, never know they're sinning and are thus free to do anything and make it in. That makes me feel a lot better as an atheist.
