who did say "For the wages of sin is death" ?

Maybe Paul was mistaken into believing this.\nJesus died too, so his death could not have been due to his sins.\nCertainly Paula nee Saul, himself died so, he must have died due to his sins according to his belief.\nIf christians believe in this Generally ( the born agains are claiming exceptions, as they now claim to be saints.)\nThis is certainly a paradox for the christians to sort out.\nThe very reason is,that every time a christian die,then he dies a sinner.\nAccording to this verse , only the  SINLESS would live forever, and none, including Jesus, the Prophet of Nazareth (AS)himself have so far escaped death.\nMuslims reject this belief.

Is the one your'e thinking of perhaps Romans 5:17-19?\n\n"17 For if by the trespass of the one [man] death ruled as king through that one, much more will those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness rule as kings in life through the one [person], Jesus Christ.\n\n18 So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, likewise also through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is a declaring of them righteous for life. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners, likewise also through the obedience of the one [person] many will be constituted righteous.

Romans 12:19  \n\n    19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Luke 6:27-36\n\n"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.\n\n"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

The earliest reference to what may be the original quote appears below.  I couldn't find anything linking this with Nostradomus, however.  I believe he was French?\nThe difference between the two quotes have been placed in parenthesis by me.  I'm kinda thinking the grammatical error made by Gide may be due to translation.  \n\n"It is better to be hated for (what) you are than to be loved for (something) you are not."  Andre Gide\n\nA French novelist, Gide was born December 22, 1869 and died February 19, 1951.\n\nHope this helps!

Luke 12:10\n\n"And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."

"For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin" (2 Macc. 12:44-45). \n\n"Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny" (Matt. 5:25-26). \n\n"Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire" (1 Cor. 3:13-15). \n\n"For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . ." (1 Peter 3:18-20). \n\n"But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . ." (Rev. 21:27).\n\n\nNote: If you attempt to use a Protestant Bible to find the Second Maccabees verse, you will come up short, because Protestant reformers (such as Luther) has this book removed (as well as a few others) because of its reference to Purgatory.

It's a quote:\n\nexodus 21:23  And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,\n21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,\n\nLev. 24:20  Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.\n\nDeut. 19:21  And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.\n\nMatt 5:38  Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:\n5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

we never deserved anything at God's hands, if we deserved anything it was only his eternal wrath But he still oved us enough to die for us. As a good old writer says "When I look at the crucifixion of Christ, I recollect that my sins put him to death. I see not Pilate, but I see myself in Pilate's place, bartering Christ for honor. I hear not the cry of the Jews, but l hear my sins yelling out, 'Crucify, him, crucify him.' I see not iron nails, but I see my own iniquities fastening him to the cross. I see no spear, but I behold my unbelief piercing his poor wounded side,\n\n'For you, my sins, my cruel sins, his chief tormentors were;\nEach of my sins became a nail, and unbelief the spear.'"\n\nIf there is anyone of us who feels that if we follow Christ we must lose by it, lose our station, or lose our reputation? Will we be laughed at, if we leave the world and follow Jesus? And will we turn aside because of these little things when he would not turn aside, though all the world mocked him, till he could say "It is finished." No, by the grace of God, let every Christian lift his hands to the Most High God, to the maker of heaven and earth, and let him say within himself,\n\n"Now for the love I bear his name, what was my gain I count my loss,\nI pour contempt on all my shame, and nail my glory to his cross."\n\n"For me to live is Christ; to die is gain," Living I will be his, dying I will be his; I will live to his honor, serve him wholly, if he will help me, and if he needs, I will die for his name's sake.

You are not completing these scriptures. Matt: 5:22  reads However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen′na.\n\nGehenna was a waste heap outside of Jerusalem where the bodies of the dead criminals were burned. This is one of the reasons that man has taught a hell fire doctrine.  Which is not true by the way.  Jesus is talking about non believers and what might happen to them.  Not that it will.  It says liable (or deserving).\n\nMatt: 23:17 Fools and blind ones! Which, in fact, is greater, the gold or the temple that has sanctified the gold?  Meaning spiritual laws or the one who made the laws.  The Jews of Jesus time put more emphasis on obeying the Mosaic laws rather than showing love.  God commands love before the law.\n\nPsalm 14:1The senseless one has said in his heart:\n“There is no God” They have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in [their] dealing.There is no one doing good. \n\nPeople that claim there is no God are doing so to sooth their consciences.  So they say in their heart "there is no God" and they act detestably in their dealings.\n\nWhy are these contradictory?

that is true.\ni think eddie izzard said it best during his dress to kill special.\n\n"cake or death?"\n\nits a false choice, this free will. you can choose to denounce god, but then you go to hell for an eternity of torture. who would in their right mind do that??? \nits not a choice like apple or orange, where both of them have ok endings and its just a matter of preference.\nwhich is why i'm an atheist.\n;o)

(2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB)\n\nThus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house.  I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor.  He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.  You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'\n\n    Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord."  Nathan answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die.  But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die."  [The child dies seven days later.]
