Ok, I'm not trying to imply that. What I'm saying is that if you're sorry (trully sorry) about what you've done, you have a chance into heaven. I don't think that murderers get into heaven though. They usually have some psychological problem in which they don't care and enjoy killing.
Yes, Jesus died for all sins, but you must have faith, and believe. If you TRULY believe, you will stop your sinful lifestyle. It WAS Adam and Eve, Not Adam and Steve or Adam and Eve or Steve.
There is a purgatory...BTW, dont' give me your bullshit about having faith. Most of my life I had faith and tried to stop. I believed. I still have faith and believe. My life has been hell and I trusted God above all others. I'm not going to stop trusting God becuase of my bisexuality. But my point is: STOP BRINGING IT UP!
Hey, I didn't bring it up. THERE IS NO PURGATORY, but I guess it's like talking to a rock. I am not bringing up my having faith. I am just saying you must have faith...You study the Word and then are Baptized with Water/The Word, one of the two sacraments. And you receive forgiveness through the other sacrament, holy communion. Where Jesus Body and Blood are In with and under the Bread and Wine, not transubstantiation shit.
The thing is, the Protestants changed the wording so it wouldn't be "If you do not eat my body or drink my blood, you shall never have eternal life" Purgatory is in Maccabees, but you wouldn't know that, you're a Lutheran/Protestant. I'm not here to argue religion or sexual preferences. (BTW, the "Don't bring it up" really applies to ALL of Zel, not you alone. I also know you didn't bring it up, sorry to tell you that when it was more for everyone else)
I know what the Maccabees are, and they aren't in the Bible. God said in Revelation through John that whoever adds to the Bible then add to him the woes of eternal death in hell. I am Lutheran, and I will stick to that. I guess we should not bicker over religion, as it is harder than talking to a Jehovah's Witness (they suck balls and twist around what you say).

actually, we had Maccabees in the bible before the Protestant Reformation. But John said do not add or take away and do not alter the words. Prots took away and altered the words. And I'm done with the biblical debate. How are you?
He died for all current sins, that doesn't mean you can go on a mass killing and still get into heaven.
Yes it does; you can still get into Heaven that way. All you have to do is repent. A sin is a sin in God's eyes. There is no medium between them.
Say you are a mass murderer. You go to jail and realize how fucked up your life has been and how terribly awful you have been. You get a preacher that visits your prison and tells you of God's awesomeness. You repent like crazy and don't fuck up the rest of your life. You = in Heaven.
That wasn't the point I was making, what I meant is if you "know" all you have to do is repent and you can do whatever you want, that isn't right, and you're not getting into heaven, at least not in my opinion.
Which is why I don't consider myself a christian. Pretty much thats saying you can do whatever the hell you want all through your life knowing all you have to do is repent before you die and you'll go to heaven. That's utter BS.
