Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. The law is not of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God???

In deciding that, consider Moses, who couldn't enter the Promise Land as a result of just one sin.  The question is whether his sin was what he did, or thinking that because of all the good he did that one sin wouldn't count?  Never assume to know what God may or may not think of something.

Will, it self has no purpose, until the two words GOOD and Bad or added. I myself was not raised to believe that, God is threatening in anyway. Only warns that free will, doesn't mean that the commandments are invalid.  When you walk this world without knowing who created all things.  It's going to be a journey beyond!   We all sin, it's human nature. ( Adam and Eve)  Not saying it is accepted by God, but he is forgiving!

You know my friend I try not too underestimate the ablity of a person to mess something up.  \n\nThe Law was ment to guide us in the Lords way and we made it into a thing that squelshes who God is... And to beat others down... weither it is the 10 commandments the 613 or say things that modern christians can get legalistic about.  \n\nAnd unfortunately people have taken Grace to that extreme too... I mean we've all met people who say "I am born again I can do anything I want..." they think that they can throw obedience out the window... it is sad!\n\nMay God help us... to see the truth of the Law and the truth of his Grace

Truth and Love do walk hand in hand. The need would/could never be to large for God to fulfill. I would never want to learn to live a lie. And there is no way that my Faith is going to be shattered, with the misconception that God is not real. Thanks for the thought provoking questions. God bless

Well pardon me if I take the Bible's definition of faith...."Faith is the evidence of things not seen"

God is spirit and don't forget he said to obey the government. People were to follow the laws-rather they liked it or not-unless it went against him. This does not fit into that category. Which I am sure you will pick  on a few scriptures and not the whole-which must harmonize.

NOTHING is impossible for god, NOTHING is above god.If we eat NOTHING we will die.NOTHING is important than love.

God is Holy; He cannot even look upon iniquity. Inherently sinful man must clean himself up (even with His help) before approaching the Holy of Holies.\n\ne.g. If one maintains a willful lifestyle of iniquity, he cannot become reconciled unto God.

It only makes sense to me that if you truelly are repentant of your sins, then you would STOP PERFORMING THAT SIN instead of having to repent for it again and again every week. It is in human nature to do what Believers call "sin" - we will probably never stop doing that for as long as we exist - therefore, we will never "repent" completely. If one was a true Believer in every sense of the definition of their respective religion, then they would follow the dictates taught therein and, therefore, would never sin - but sinning is human nature, therefore they/we will not stop sinning, ever, so we cannot ever truelly repent. Yes, I'm going in circles, but so does anyone who is trying to make universal sense of such a subject as this, which should qualify in an explanation in and of itself.

Hmm, yeah, that's a very interesting point! Why not just trust "god" to protect him? Now, would that be a sin? Because if it was gods will for him to die, than he's preventing that from happening, right? but if god was "almighty" then he could give him a heart attack or something...but then if he's that powerful, why the need for bulletproof...round and round we go....I need chocolate!  :) smart question btw!

According to relgious law...

It is by the grace of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus.\nRomans 3:21-22 "But now God has shown us a different way of being made right in his sight-( by grace) not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins.(This is faith) And we can all be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done."\nRomans 3:27-28 "Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God?(Grace) No, because our aquittal is not based on our good deeds. It is based on our faith. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law."\n\nSo you see, it is BY grace(undeserved favor), THROUGH faith.

You have my attention....what a fabulous question!\n\nI have no answer.\n\nI have an opinion,  maybe there is no infinite punishment. \n\nHow does a person define sin anyway?

Dear brothers and sisters, what's the use of saying you have faith if you don't prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can't save anyone. Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing,  and you say, "Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well" - but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all - it is dead and useless. - James chapter 2\n\nIf you think is wrong you won't do it. You do it because you don't think it is wrong.

Your question cannot be answered.\n\nReason and faith are unrelated.  More, they are unrelatable.\n\nIt is a confusion of terms to consider the vernacular "belief", implying an awareness of facts which are subject to confirmation and disproof, with "belief" in the context of faith and religion, where the tenets are merely stated.\n\nEven within the technical arena, even within that most exacting of disciplines, mathematics, there remain elements that are the subject of belief without proof and without the possibility of proof (Kurt Godel).  \n\nFaith and reason are disjoint, and the tools of one are inadequate for a study or analysis of the other.  Therefore your question is improper, from a logical viewpoint, and the concept of a rational explanation of faith has no meaning.
