Good Person?
Now here's my pov. Are any of us God?(According to the Christian faith) no. Therefore we may think someone is perfect according to our standards however God's are much higher. He knows everything so he sees what we dont. Remember this is a God of purity holiness but also of judgement. Each one of our sins has to be judged, for what it is comparitivly to God, impure. Therefore comes the need for Christ's sacrifice etc. How can a pure God even comprehend impurity, it is just like bile in his mouth.(My own illustration to show how disgusting it is this is not in the bible)
Here' s a question for you truthlover? Do you believe that HItler should go to Hell? Do you believe Stalin should go to Hell? Do you believe Genghis Kahn can go to Hell? Of course you do, even if you don't believe in God you think that they should be punished for what they have done.
However God sees sin as sin, no matter how little the sin is, since God is perfect, any sin at all(no matter how small) is enough to keep us from him in eternity.
Again this is where the perfect god-man comes in, Jesus Christ. He never sinned, and yet he died and his blood flowed freely from his body.
God Bless

Re: Free of Doctrine

You say as "Society changes so do morals" This is obviously true in some respects. However look at this circumstance. For instance say you were a guard at a holocaust prison in Germany. Obviously it was status quo to hate Jews, or at least this can be inferred from the circumstances. Therefore the German society says its ok to hate Jews. Yet after the war was won, we put this guard on trial for inhuman acts of genocide in the Nuremburg trials. Which society's moral code should be observed here? It's kinda shady isn't it. You could say that sure the world moral code should have been observed but then it just says that the guy with the biggest stick should impose moral order. (I'm not disagreeing with the fact that the guy should have been disciplined for his acts of genocide. I detest the holocaust but am just trying to point out that relative morality is so hard to determine it's pointless.)
God Bless
