Christianity Q & A

Thanks for accepting, hopefully I can answer your questions :) By nature, humans are sinners. We make mistakes, we do things we know are wrong. Not to say we are necesarily evil, just that we are sinful. Because God is perfect, having a relationship with him requires us to be spiritually pure in his eyes. Since humans are natural sinners, this makes it difficult. In the early days, people could make animal sacrifices (for example) to wash away their sins. They also were baptized.Then, God sent Jesus to die for us so that our relationship would be easier. What do I mean by this? Well, when Jesus died on the Cross, he took the sin of the world upon himself. So now, all we have to do is believe in God and love him and then we are saved. When God looks at us, instead of seeing a sinner, he see someone who is spiritually clean because Jesus basically intervenes on our behalf.2 Corinthians 5:21"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."We still sin, we should always try and be better, we should always ask for forgiveness, it's just that there is NOTHING you could do to earn God's love or forgivenees. God is too good for us, there is nothing we could give him that he needs. The only thing he asks from us is that we love him in return. The reason we still follow religious law, or go to Church, or believe is because that is what God asks of us. We follow the law because rules keep us in check. We go to Church to worship with other Christians, a fellowship. We can also learn from our religious leader s who study the Bible. We believe becasue we have faith. You are saved, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want haha. God still wants you to try your best to avoid sin and temptation.There are no sins that could keep you out of Heaven. When you believe in God, you are saved. Remember, this doesn't mean you can just go around doing whatever the heck you want. However, know that God won't stop loving because of your sin.Regarding babies, that is something that I've found to be odd as wll. How can such an innocent thing be a sinner? In my opinon (just my view), babies have sin in them but they might not show it. When they grow up, they'll sin, but as babies they can't talk or walk, what sin could they possibly do? Murder? Theft? Lying? They can't really outwardly sin (and I have no idea what's going on inside their brains) so I would say it's kind of like a domrant sin. But I have no evidence for this so don't just take my word for it.Also, since I am not a Catholic (I am non-denominational) I disagree on the veiwpoint that a baby must be baptized to be saved.In my view, babies don't understand anything. Baptizing them means nothing because it is not their choice at all. They have no idea what is going on. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to baptize a child (though I don't think it is necessary) but it's better to let them decide to get baptized when they feel they are ready. When they're older. That way, it is more real.An unbaptized baby is not going to Hell. Perhaps, the baby technically isn't "saved" (depends on how you define being saved) but if the baby were to die of SIDS one day, I don't think God would just send the child to Hell because he/she was never baptized. That's abusrd.I hope I answered some of your questions. Can't wait for you response. :)
