?
I went to Catholic school for 5 years and all I heard was "Jesus died for our sins", "Jesus sacrificed himself for us!!", and "Jesus was the Messiah!". What do you mean by this? As far as I'm concerned, everyone still "sins" all the time.

You're not looking for an answer to that question.

God wouldn't have been able to forgive those sins unless he had sent himself down to Earth, incarnated in the form of his own son, in order to be tortured for aforementioned sins. Even though God's design flaw was the cause of those sins in the first place. And God getting himself tortured guarantees that we will be able to sin forever more without consequence, because him getting himself tortured was a way of forgiving those sins in advance of them occurring.
Christians - how do you rate that for Christian theology in a nutshell?

People can live good lives without ever believing in Jesus and probably lived good lives before before him if he even existed.

Did you study Judaism and Catholicism? I do not mean superficially. Also it is up to GOD to decide what is a "good life".

Christians - how do you rate that for Christian theology in a nutshell? That's pretty much it, except there's that extra bit about "accepting Jesus into your heart". You gotta do that to avoid eternal damnation according to the theology. A Christian will argue that once you've accepted Jesus, your desire to sin will diminish. I haven't seen too much of that happening in the real world.

My whole life was revolved around Catholicism to know enough about it. and since no once can agree on what God actually is or if he even exists than that doesnt make sense either.. youre just saying what you want to say based on only your own beliefs. People can have different beliefs.

My own beliefs are based solidly in the teachings in Judaism and Catholicism. I study Tanakh under Rabbi Berman. I am a Third Order Carmelite. I studied Theology with the Jesuits at St. Peter's University for four years. I am still studying scripture. Hardly my "own" beliefs. ![]() True and that is why there are over 40,000 types of protestantism.

Well, it's been 15 years since I've gone to catholic school, but if I recall correctly, Jesus died in order to absolve us of original sin...I think. Jesus was the messiah in that he saved us from Adam's sin.

knew you were a Brit and probably some species of northerner. Educational standards have slipped to a shocking degree, haven't they? Children aren't taught to use a dictionary, and sadly very few homes even contain a comprehensive Latin grammar these days. Adeptus is the past participle of the verb adipiscor. You could probably have looked that up for yourself, but I have saved you the bother. It is a deponent verb, which is mildly interesting if that is the sort of thing you're interested in.
