Default Re: Sinning Chritian\'s moral code as \"irrational\" as an atheists code

the Christian will, by assumption, be not be following the Absolute code they believe in but will be breaking some laws. How do they decide which ones to break: there is no absolute moral code on what moral laws can be broken.

[/ QUOTE ]

None can be broken.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it impossible to break any part of a moral code, how do you believe a sin can be committed? Surely that is what sin is, breaking of a moral "law"?

[/ QUOTE ]

You misunderstood, or rather I was not as clear as I could have been. When I said that none can be broken I did not mean that it is impossible to break them. I meant that none can be broken without being judged guilty. There is no free pass. If you break the law, the price for your sin is death.

Hope that is clearer.

Yep. You meant may not. (Johnny can steal the apple but he may not)

Your particular faith doesn't include salvation through repentance of sin, then? Tough one that, break the law and you pay the price of sin, death (by which I guess you mean no afterlife in the presence of God) no second chances.

I think you are in a minority of the theists never mind atheists with this one.
