1. I will not sin again, last dat of sin for me,Do not sine now, apart from sayin dear lord, what is wrong with people/the world. Using his name in vain, because of expewssions from the secular world.
2. God can get angry, we cannot. Jesus had rightous anger. And I have planned to not deal with moneylenders after I pray.
3. OK, will pray forgiveness for all sins, even those I were not awere of as an atheist or buddhist.
4. You can find God before Christ, sorry, personal expirieince. And people can read the old testament and become christian before reading the new testament.
5. Good advice to read from start to finish. I am not doing that now. Skipping around. Later I will get a chronological biblething, put together in the correct timeline.
6. We agree about Jesus being God incarnate. The metaphysical manifestation, and the personality he showed us is important. Disagree on some of the rest. Not the only important one. The old testtament is important, and he points to that. Jesus is really only telling us how to act in this world, to our fellow man, to keep the peace. You have the parth to God in the old testament iff you were a stranded atheist on a desolate island, with only the old testament as reading material. 3:16 is important, I live that one, I recited than one at my confirmation. I would not require salvation to believe in God, and live right.I started out being christian, believing I was going to hell, and was at peace with that. Will still go to hell untill I pray. Still peace. Religion is not about getting something out of it personally, like avoiding hell.
7. I am not afraid of hell as said, just a detail that is not important to me. The point is only to be truthful to God at judgement day. Then he judge as he does. And I have to abide by it without getting upset.I have not read about the pharasis yet. Sounds like somethink I should read, since you say God called them the sons of satan. I hold the 10 commandments, but those are not the big sins, apart from killing and stuff, those are laws for man on earth, to keep the peace, more than laws to hold to God. It is pride, gluttony, hate,etc,, that we must avoid to be worthy of God. And allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven. A heart thing.Abiding by laws is one thing, can do it without changing your heart. But you cannot fool God by pretending to not have pride, gluttony, hate, etc. I agree on sacrifice of sheep is voided after God laid his life down for us.
Yes, much to read, simple and complicated at the same time

2. We agree to disagree on the anger thing.
3. Amen
4. I don't understand how you can find God before Jesus if they are one in the same. You may read of God in the Old Testament before you read of Jesus but that's different. If it wasn't for Jesus Christ there wouldn't be a such thing as a Christian. Even the word "Christian" is named after Him and it was never heard of until He came to Earth.
5. Agreed
6. I could be wrong, but you seem to believe you can just make a decision to be Christian just as you make a decision to put on a shirt. That's far from the truth if that's what you believe. I do agree the Old Testament could lead men to God who lived before Jesus. I'm just saying today there's nothing in the Old Testament that can save a man after the day Jesus died on the cross. If the Old Testament could save us Jesus wouldn't have come.
7. In order to get to heaven you have to be perfect. Perfect from the day you were born. If you kept every law God gave from this day forth, you still wouldn't qualify for heaven. Or you could be perfect from birth but sin one time and you will not qualify for heaven. James 2:10 said if you break one law you guilty of all. You can avoid pride, gluttony, and hate all you want and you still won't be worthy of God. On judgment day you will say I did this and I did that and Jesus will say I never knew you Matthew 7:22-23. I think now I see why you don't know why Jesus is so important. It's because you don't seem to understand the gospel rightly. I could be misunderstanding you though.
