[QUOTE="farout, post: 69216442, member: 382500"] I have read what some others posted. I hope you will read just one more. There is one in my opinion you are totally missing. You are a sinner, like us all. Gods LAW is the Ten Commandments. No one can possibly keep them! I mean no one. But those Ten Commandments are what Gods standard are for us. We all fail at keeping those laws and when we fail to keep them its called sin. God is HOLY we are not! You and I must see without some way to seek the forgiveness of God for our sins we die twice, one is natural death, the outer is spiritual death. We are a soul that has a body. God will judge us based on is our sin's been forgiven or not. If we stand before God and have not has our sins forgiven He allows us, by our choice facing Him with unforgiven sins to depart from Him forever. The place we choose to spent eternity is called Hell. If we decided to rejected Gods provided way of forgiveness of our sins then we stand all by our self with no way to defend our sinful life. But God will not force anyone to accept His only way to forgive our sins. God loves us. It is not His will that anyone go to eternity in Hell. Hell is everlasting punishment for rejecting Gods provided way of forgiving our sins. Gods love for us is offered, but not forced on anyone! We have complete control to either accept His offer of forgiveness of our total sinful life or not to accept His offer of forgiveness. We do not have to face God alone and die the second death in hell. God has provided a payment or a way for us to be forgiven. The issue is not I how do I become as Christian. The issue is you and I are sinners in need of finding how God can forgive our sins. Our sins that we deliberately commit every day, we lie, lust, use Gods Holy name as a swore word, we steal, we disobeyed our parents, the list goes on and on. We are sinners in need of finding how our sins can be forgiven! Gods answer for us to be forgiven is to allow Jesus Christ to pay the price for my and your sins. In order for that to happen we have to honestly recognize that we truly are a sinner. In doing that we admit to God that by yourself, you deserve to be separated for eternity in hell, but we confess that we want to be saved, that we ask Jesus Christ to be our Savior. We Confess we area sinner who needs Jesus Christ and His payment for our sins.
