so now the question remains. If my nature is to sin, then how can a just God damn us for doing what we are wired to do? How can He damn a cat for not being a dog? Is that just?

All men are sinners. Heaven will be full of sinners just as Hell is.One does not go to hell for your sin, one goes to hell for refusing the Mercy of God through Christ.

When God looks at those that have put on Christ , He sees His holiness and not our sin.

Say what?

When is the reprobate given the opportunity to accept or refuse the Mercy of God? Are you now saying God offers salvation to all, but some refuse?

"The fact is that God is so holy and righteous that He hates the sinner"

"All men are sinners. Heaven will be full of sinners just as Hell is."

One would think that fear of embarasment would cause you to seperate those posts at least far enough to get them on different pages. Or does He now hate those He sends to Heaven?
