Sin... The elephant in the room since the Garden of Eden... The one thing done by man that will keep him from attaining his place in heaven... But you know what? God gave us free will... He gave us the knowledge to devise and try different things... New things... And, yes, some of these things are against the teachings of the Bible... The book that holds the true word of God... But is it truly the words of God? Or what some man in ancient times believed to be what God was telling him? Don't get me wrong... I believe in the morality of religion... The morality of the Bible... I just take most of it as a lesson and not the full word of God... Think of a child's Whisper Circle... Sit a bunch of young ones in a circle... Whisper a word or saying in a little one's ear and then have them whisper it to the next person... And so on... Until the whisper has gone full circle... And what you will hear then? Something completely different! I believe our Bible today is like this... It started out with the right idea but has now gone around the circle! What was originally the word of God is now more "the word of God as told by achim of Babylon and according to Sam the deli butcher"...
Which brings me back to my original point... Without going into why today, I believe God to be a loving and forgiving deitity... He gave us free will to do as we see fit... He knows we will make mistakes... Big ones... Little ones... And everything in-between... And if we eventually learn from our mistakes? Forgiveness... It's not hearing us swear out our mistakes God wants to hear... It's what we learned from our mistakes He wants to hear!!! How we will go forward and lead a better life!!! For He is our forgiving Father, is He not?
