Best Answer

It is the transgression or crossing the line and missing the point of God's Law:

Galatians 3:19, NKJV

[ Purpose of the Law ] What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because oftransgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

Who reminds us of our sinfulness and our need to be redeemed?

We are reminded of our sinfulness by God's law and His ministers and prophets who preach it. If the law is taught properly and we are honest with ourselves, it is clear we fall far short of God's requirements and our only hope is in His mercy and grace. We are also reminded of our sinfulness by observing the world and the actions of others - our fallen state is obvious from the pain and suffering in this life and the evil we all commit. One of the specific roles mentioned by Jesus for the Holy Spirit is to 'convict the world of sin.'

Why isn't forgiveness an option in the scarlet letter according to Anti-transcendentalists?

Anti-transcendentalists believed in the inherent sinfulness and darkness of human nature, which can't be easily overcome by forgiveness. They viewed sin as a fundamental part of the human condition, so forgiveness was not seen as a sufficient or realistic solution to the moral complexities and consequences depicted in "The Scarlet Letter." Instead, they emphasized the inevitability of suffering and the harsh consequences of sin.

Did you know you are poor because you are a sinner and rich people are not sinners since they are rich so stop being a sinner and get you some money?

Nothing about your statement is true. Jesus' Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 3:23 and I quote, "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God". Jesus himself was poor, as were most of his followers. The fact that you are rich or poor has no bearing whatsoever on your sinfulness. Poor people sin and so do rich people. The fact is that every human being that has ever been or ever will be born will sin. What you need to do is turn to Jesus for forgiveness of that sin and do all in your power to sin no more. And as Jesus himself said to the adulterous woman, "Neither do I condemn thee, Go and sin no more".


What if you died having never heard the gospel of salvation?

Romans 5:13 - For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. [NKJV]"Imputed" means "held against." If sin is not imputed when there is "no law," which would be the case of someone who has NOknowledge of, or is incapable of understandingwhat God requires of them, they will not be judged according to "sinfulness," but by a righteous standard which God alone determines (and the Bible does not disclose).Being aware of this truth should put peoples' minds at ease regarding the eternal welfare of infants, the mentally retarded, and those who have NEVER heard the gospel.


I found out my friend attempted suicide Do you go to hell just for attempting suicide?

Not for that reason alone. The Bible says that the only sin which won't be forgiven is if you call God evil, and that all others can be forgiven.As long as they ask God for forgivness and truly feel sorry, it will be forgiven.Hope thsi helps answer your q! :)Roman Catholic AnswerAny sin, including attempting suicide can be forgiven if the person turns to God, confesses his sin to a priest, has contrition (sincere sorry for offending God) or attrition (fear of going to hell), says his penance, and sincerely attempts to not sin again. The only "unforgivable" sin is to think that you do not need forgiveness, in other words, you are perfectly fine yourself, and do not need God at all. We all must realize our inherent sinfulness in order to be forgiven.

Where is the justice when Christianity assumes all the human beings are sinners and needs salvation while they did not eat from the tree with father Adam?

Complicated and convoluted question. Adam did not sin by eating the fruit. The assumption of sinfulness is an (almost) universal condition, by individual choice. Justice is a harsh and unforgiving system. Salvation is to extend mercy, to those who wish it. It is never forced on anyone.
