Christianity, with its tens of thousands of different denominations and scores of Bible translations that differ from one another can be quite confusing. But when you truly come to bedrock, and experience peace with your Maker through Jesus Christ’s perfect life, everything becomes much clearer and more beautiful.

OBAMA:
Where do you move forward with that? This is something that I’m sure I’d have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people who haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior, that they’re going to hell.

You don’t believe that?
OBAMA:
I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.
Part of the reason I think it’s always difficult for public figures to talk about this is that the nature of politics is that you want to have everybody like you and project the best possible traits onto you. Oftentimes that’s by being as vague as possible, or appealing to the lowest common denominators. The more specific and detailed you are on issues as personal and fundamental as your faith, the more potentially dangerous it is.
4 thoughts on “Your Sins Are Forgiven”
Good post.Ne’er knew this, regards for letting me know.
wonderful.
I said above that Jesus was a transgressor in the post but I could not find an edit so that I could say “was not”:
If my sins are forgiven what about everyone else? I am in the group that were made sinners by the Law of Moses and according to that, there is none good, no not 1. My sins cant be forgiven unless something change the testimony God gave me through Moses. Jesus Christ was numbered among these transgressors but was a transgressor himself so that where God has spoken and said all are fallen, Jesus Christ forces God to say all are not fallen but God can’t say that because of the word “all” now includes the fallen and the unfallen.
Now God has a chance to show he is God and that he is perfect and wise far above the wisdom of men. God can offer the unfallen a chance to be punished in place of the fallen but the un fallen must be willing. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, all for all. Isn’t it perfect that all were in 1 place at one time and in 1 body while at the same time all were scattered over the whole earth both dead and living and mineral in the earth waiting their age to be born and fall. Yes at any time should Judgement for sin come upon all then afterwards there remain no more accusation or it would seem that GOD is limited in judgement by dominion over him and this cannot be.
