I have been blocked by a certain gentleman whose name is one letter away from that of the creator of "Robot Chicken".
But before he did, he messaged me the following nonsense:
[quote]Just as radioctivity contaminates everything in its sphere indiscriminately;
by virtue of the fact we were born to this earth, we are similarly stained--with sin, and all its temptations. Through no fault of our own, but nevertheless, we must be cleansed before we can enter heaven.
The blackness of sin (evil) is as ferocious, as the brilliance of God's almighty power and purity. The two cannot coexist. They are supernatural phenomena of the highest order, far beyond casual deeds and misdeeds of the everyday. The brilliance and purity of His power would kill us simply by proximity.
Gods grace (unmerited favor) and mercy, are embodied in Christ's volunteering for crucifiction.
In agony, he permitted his only son to die, so that we might #1. have eternal life, and #2 come to him without an earthly intercessor and ask forveness for our wrongdoings.
It took a member of the heavenly monarchy--not an angel or a scribe--to reverse the sewer Adam and Eve had opened onto mankind.
On the cross, the full measure of sin consumed Jesus, he felt and bore all of it. In all its supernatural horror, and the weight of millennia to come. He was sin incarnate. The blackness of which, convinced him he'd never see his father or heaven again.
But through this act of mercy, and yes-- unmerited favor, we are clean; and fit to recieve forgiveness; and freely associate with the Lord, and go to heaven if we so desire.[/quote]
(All spelling and grammatical errors are his.)
So to summarize, what our friend Seth is saying is that humans have committed no offense against God, and yet because God chose to make humans as he did, humans must be cleansed of their intrinsic filth.
Do you agree, Christians? Does God make an intrinsically flawed creation, which he then has to repair or cleanse? If so, why wouldn't he simply do a better job of making his creations the first time?
