John 3:16

[Udanor]

John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

A question that has been brought up about this is..

Can you be a horrible person and still be a christian?

We know that Jesus died for are sins, and so we are forgiven.

Lets say, this guy belives in Jesus with his whole hart and belives he is a christian, but he was a horrible sinner...

He comites adultery almost every night, he is a thief,lier, even murderer...
But he does this knowing that Jesus will forgive him...

Lets say Hitler believed in Jesus! Would he get to heaven?

Im wondering how hard we have to be on are selfs when it comes to sinning? Jesus will forgive us anyway right?

Not quite true. The child is considered JEWISH if the mother is Jewish, but the bloodline counts from the father. The bloodlines were so very important to the
ancient Hebrews that the bloodline of an adopted child was their biological fathers
bloodline, not the adoptive fathers bloodline.

This is considered today, when only the Cohan and the Levine know their bloodline. To be a Cohan or a Levine , your biological father has to be one.

I knew something was a little off last night. This confirms it. It is interesting how the two parents play an important role in the identity of the chld though. I do like that. So what about my other two questions?

The questions about Romans is beyond what I can answer, but according to the Jewish faith, Gentiles are not under the Mosaic laws, but rather under the noahide laws

So what are these "new laws" that you speak of?

And if you say that you think that people were basically good from the time of Noah, God chose to destroy mankind save but Noah and his family, why would he do that? Just a question, curious about your answer.

Can you be a horrible person and still be a christian?

Yes, you can. Bad behavior and sins are often caused by demons and apart from other reasons, demons sometimes attack those whose faith is good and who serves the truth because they hate such people most.

It sounds to me like you are trying to pass the buck when it comes t sin. Bad behavior and sins are often caused by demons? Demons can't force anybody to do anything. That would be a violation of freewill, which supposedly God would never allow. At most demons could only influence sin, but even then there is no reason to believe that man needs demons to do that. Man will naturally sin.

How do demons cause sin?
What examples of so-called "demon attacks" can really be shown to be demoniac?

Demons can force people to sin if they are commanded / allowed to do so by their bosses. And man does not have a free will like most of people naively believe it.

Please read "Crime And Punishment" from the sample:

Example of demons that cause sin are crimes commited by people. When commiting them, the people were influenced by demons.

Claims for demons don't make demons true. It just sounds like an excuse to escape the responsibility of their own actions.
