It is important to remember that man has a sinful nature, no one is perfect.
This also includes you,
and our political leaders as well.

Who are you trying to follow after and agree with:
sinful man
or God?

Because sometimes I am unsure...
but I do love you.

Those words weren't meant to be harsh. I would like to admonish you, but it's probably not my place.

Everyone is perfect and there is no such thing as sin.

If you weren't perfectly you living your life in the perfect manner that you were intended to, how could you have come to this place with these thoughts and make these posts? If you weren't perfect towards this, you would be perfectly doing something else.

Human nature is what it is. It is neither good nor bad. It is impartial as a mountain or a forest. Surely there are things that will positively and negatively affect your spiritual growth, but labeling things as sin is only a fear tactic that will ultimately turn you AWAY.

What is more than love and fear? Do you think God wants you to be afraid? Do you really think he is keeping a cosmic scoreboard with the offenses you have commited against him, for which you will pay retribution after death? God is love my friend! Love yourself, truly, not in the hollow hedonistic sense of 'love', and you will commit no 'sin'. What is called sin is a product of fear only.

Well, IMHO anyway..

I love this!

I often wonder though, when talking about objective right or wrong, the argument is "if hitler would have won the war, and everyone believed the holocaust was right, would it be?"

does this make that argument not-recommended?

Argh!

Not necessarily. Although the answer to the holocaust question is "of course not". Might doesn't make right. Unfortunately, the whole premise of the Nazis was Might makes right, and it took the deaths of tens of millions of people in that horrific war to stop that morally relativistic juggernaut ( ... )
