@amigojapan therefore by extension you do not believe in God, or at least a Personal God who has a mind and will and intentions. If so, it would do you well to read CS Lewis Mere Christianity. He explains his belief in God on the basis of morality. He was once athiest. The audio book is on youtube Just type in C.S Lewis - Mere Chrisitanity

@KDN888 I think idolatry is just silly superstition, not a sin. I dont believe in sin.

[KDN888]

@amigojapan Ohh I get where you are coming from. In a case like that the Church definitely encourages to seek reconciliation with someone you have wronged. However, there are some sins that are not done directly to other people. For example Idolatry and Lust. For these we must ask for forgiveness from God Himself.

@KDN888 I dont believe in sin, if you are sorry and want to be forgiven for a wrong you did, you should ask for forgiveness from the person you wronged. see, we dont need god for forgiveness, if you stel 100 dollars from me, and ask for forgiveness from me, and I forgive you, you are no longer guilty. if you ask god for forgiveness, youa re a coward that doesnt ask for real forgiveness, just for fake forgiveness.

@KDN888 Christ is "Him who fills all in all" Eph. 1:23. All that live has God's "Spirit" Your breath is from God. Those who first believed "the Disciples" or, saints as you call them, and you the people, meaning everyone, receive redemption by the sealing of the Holy Spirit. Eph. 1:7-14 If we are all equal in our faith, and Christ is within all of us, why call one father and call the other laity? We are all brothers, sisters, mothers, and elders. But we only have one Father.

@iceylittle I am glad you realise that it was not meant to be taken literally. Who is the one authorised to interpret it though? Surely, anyone can claim to be inspired by the Holy Spirit when reading scripture. eg Jim Jones.1Timothy3:15. What Church existed then? Also, our theology believes in only one priest, Jesus Christ. The men we call Father only join in His priesthood as he invited them into in John 20:21. When we call a priest Father, we acknowledge Jesus the Priest, not the man.

@KDN888 Well yes, we do have biological fathers and teachers, but that's not what this is about. Keep it in the context of spiritual guidance. It's about the inequality that fathers of your church presides over the laity. The only Father and Lord of the Church is God in Christ and our teacher is Christ. The pastor only teaches what Christ taught to his disciples. Your faith in Christ should not be of a respect of persons. You should not call the Pope Holy Father for only one is Holy.

@tonygem millions??? ummmm where did you get that statistic? lol Millions is what you wrote right? Maybe over the past 2000 years okay. However, what is your point. Most acts of pedophilia is committed by married men with children, and so is abuse of all sorts. So should do away with marriage? Are YOU married sir?

@SoldierWithoutAName I totally disagree with what you are saying. I'm sorry :( Why would Jesus give the disciples the power to forgive sins on His behalf if sin was not meant to be told to them? John 20:21. Why would St Paul say, confess your sins to one another? James 5:16. Jesus is not just about your own personal salvation. He is about the salvation of humanity. If we all just did everything on our own without anyone else, Jesus wasted His time setting up a Church.
