What is sin? Is it doing bad things? Is it something that Christians harbour on about? It's neither of those things. Sin is rebelling against God. Just take one look at your posts. You have problems with God enacting judgement and Jesus performing miracles. You are the perfect example. Believe it or not, I was once like you.
However, even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This fact changed me forever as I was born into a new life.
Take this to heart:
1 Corinthians 15:1-20
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Is anyone home? Seriously are you gone? Am I talking to some bot?
I don't like being preached to irrelevant nonsense. No one asked about your little sad sin story. At this point you are actively avoiding providing proof for your "god". You are so far removed from the question that your mind relapses into some kind of "if in doubt just read this script" mode
I was going to throw some kind of quip but I genuinely feel bad for you. Inability to apply scepticism and critical thinking is your own undoing,
Going to have to move to someone else as you've exhausted your capacity to reason and have a productive conversation.
