[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 2108, member: 2"] Dear Amarjit, I read your post and felt like a person, who after drinking water, remains thirsty! Anyhow, I found your answer quite vague. Allow me to drill-in further to get to the depth of this matter. You see, your theology, does not distinguish between good and evil. As you stated – "All kids are born alike - they are pure, innocent and well wishers of all." Granted! However, there comes a stage in a child’s life, i.e., adulthood, when he or she becomes responsible for his or her actions. Even parents discipline their children if and when required. In the same way, if we accept that God is our creator, than as the Creator, like responsible parents, He is obliged to hold us accountable for our actions that cause His other children grief and sorrow. One cannot be excused of a brutish behaviour because as a child, he or she was born "pure, innocent, and well wishers of all." If one was to follow your theology, no criminal is responsible for his or her actions, including murderers, thieves, rapists, etc., etc., they are all product of the circumstances!!! Now, both, Amarpal and yourself, mentioned Jesus’ words about the way to God being a narrow one. But if we consider your theology then the way to God seems quite wide with everyone has access to Him regardless of one’s conduct and actions in life. I do not know how you can justify no accountability for evil deeds. Having said this, I would like to share with you a set of verses, which was pointed out to me, that I found quite telling and drove a message home: "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands…he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us…we should not think that divine being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by man’s design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man (Jesus) he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead. (Acts 17:24-31, The Holy Bible) There has to be justice in God’s court, and since all humans are alike, we are all guilty of one sin or another, at some point, in our adult life. We might not be guilty toward another person, but stand guilty before God because He knows our sins that might be hidden from others. Since, before God, the entire mankind is guilty, God has to either forgive us all or, punish us all. And, that is, for God to decide. After observing various theologies, so far, I found Jesus, as the only entity, who offers redemption to the sinful mankind because he paid the price for the sins of mankind. Once the question of mankind’s sinfulness is settled, the union with God, I believe, is elementary because it is SIN that separates us from God not the physical body. Regards Truth Seeker [/QUOTE]
