Why does the bible forgive certain sins and not others? today i saw a post. and i think you've all seen it before. about forgiveness, honesty, and what haves you. mainly, about how god if he even exists. forgives certain sins. so my problem with this one is... why? like... child raping. alot of based users put it bluntly, that just because god forgives you doesn't mean that there isn't any earthly consequences for your actions in the meantime. and i agree with this. however... why are certain sins forgiven? but others not? it seems rather inconsistent for this to be. imagine if theirs 2 people. both committed sins. and both of them ended up in heaven. but theirs's more.
1 stole. and the other raped his mom to death. according to the bible, both have sinned. but aslong as both repent, they both end up in heaven, looking at you u/swamprangers. now, why would god, take 2 different sins. and equate them both, to be equally bad? seems kinda weird, how the matricide rapist, has an equal chance of getting into heaven. compared to the thieve. it seems kinda weird, that a system like that would be in place. but if your jewish, (according to 98% of the users here, sit wide. and 70% of the users in KIA2 ) atheist, gay, or adulters, there is no repentance, and you go to hell.
Now don't worry. this is indeed an indictment on the bible. but then again, that's the problem with almost any holybook ingeneral, it's pretty much bullshit that softens people to real world crimes. because the idea is... the bad guys will get theirs in the end... somehow?
Reaching God isn't about following the rules. No one is going to get to Heaven by following the rules. The rites and rules are there to help a person connect with God. Any sin will separate you from God.
It isn't a trial by law. If you think of it that way, you are missing the point.
Sorry about the late reply.
This is a contradiction. if all i need to do is a be a good person to "connect with god" then you fucked yourself 6 ways from sunday. by your logic any half way decent person has "connected to god" including non-believers, and people of different faiths. not to mention how what you said doesn't make any fucking sense. if i don't need the bibles rules to connect with god. but their there to help me connect to god, it sure seems like to connect to god i need the bible. like, what your implying is i don't need to be a christian to go to heaven, which betrays the bible. because if i don't need the bible but it's a tool to better connect to god, than no one needs to be converted to christianty, to connect to god and go to heaven.
I didn't say you had to only be a good person you dummy. I said you can't get there by only following the rulebook. Your reading comprehension sucks, so shut your faggot mouth.
And you know dick about the Bible so shut your dumb heathen mouth about shit you don't understand. Stick to things you know like dog fucking or having no idea what grammar is.
I assumed morals were apart of the bible. hence, me assuming being good. but this still doesn't make sense, because let' say you so happen to follow the rules of the bible... without being christian... what then?
Listen don't be ignorant your whole life.
