From my own experience, sin does indeed lead to death. A sort of death while your body is still alive yet little life or spirit remains. Depression, guilt, trauma, etc. Example for convenience would be lust. Lust is the objectification of the universe. Seeing others as simply a vehicle to attain pleasure. This leads to a denial of God and soul within others and ourselves. The greatest sin is blasphemy not because it is a sin to question God but because it is one to deny God's being and your own soul dies with that.

I'm too new here to label myself as a progressive christian but to me grace means accepting God's love and forgiveness. It means being free from constant self guilt, blame, or judgement and living free and with God's love and eye always on you.

To me Christianity was far too restricting and an impossible practice. This constant self and other judgement and hatred was something I dabbled with. I came to the realization that to live without sin meant to be unable to do anything in the world because simply looking at another human being was list and eating a good meal was gluttony. It also shows lack of faith in God's plan and a desire to control one's own fate and the fate of others when in reality all we can do is have faith that things will turn out good. I like this term "Jesusanity". I'm not a very good Christian. Christian music annoys me and I don't go to church but sure do find comfort in Jesus.

Does anyone use this forum? Seems kinda inactive at the moment. Oh well still happy to have found some like minded folks!
