I'm sorry, but you say that you're versed in scripture?
Well, clearly you're not. You would know that we are ALL sinners and that Jesus Christ died for our sins.
You are not versed in scripture, nor do you have knowledge of what sin is.
It is one of the core beliefs of Christianity that we are all sinners and that all sins are equal in God's eyes -- just any any Christian. But in practice, most tend to treat some people as a lot more sinful than others, and to be looked down upon for that. Hitler, for example, or gay people, or the 9/11 terrorists, or swingers.
Scripture does not define typical Christian behavior; let's not conflate the two.
Well, since the concept of sin is well defined in the bible it is silly to equate it to what some silly people say it is.
>Scripture does not define typical Christian behavior; let's not conflate the two.
Exactly, thank you.
Blurring this line is exactly what irks me, if you're going to 'talk shit' about Christianity then use scripture.
Otherwise, properly define that you're simply arguing against stupid people.
Don't say you know scripture, and then use anecdotes to show it.
Sin is well defined in the bible, it doesn't matter what people think it is or what it should be.
BTW, I'm aware the author didn't make this claim directly, but this notion is what irks me.
If you ask any Christian, and indeed they know the nature of the equality of sin, then these 'common' Christians that don't follow scripture and bash people can't exist.
If that's the case, are these people you are talking about being Christian, or just being people?
