Default Is accepting Jesus as messiah a sin?

Is accepting Jesus as messiah a sin?

It seems to me, that to accept Jesus as our messiah or scapegoat, means abdication our responsibility for our sins and placing it on the messiah or scapegoat.

I think that to use a scapegoat is a sin.

If you are religious, is this the sin that you think you did to deserve hell? If not, what is it that causes you to sin to be saved?

Regards
DL

Not according to the Xtians. That seems to be the whole point to them.

You seem to be using "messiah" and "scapegoat" as synonyms. They aren't synonyms.

Christians also adore a genocidal satanic god.

Take their views if you disrespect yourself and your moral sense that much.

Are you trying to not make sense, dude? I haven't shown the difference. Rather, I've challenged you to show that you understand the difference, and why it follows that your OP is bullshit.

Correct.

You made an unqualified opinion/denial, instead of an argument.

You were too lazy and wanted me to do your arguing for you.

lol I don't want someone who clearly does not know what he's talking about to argue on my behalf.

That "messiah" and "scapegoat" aren't synonyms is a fact that you seem to be unaware of. What's to argue?

So, do you have some sort of reference, or ancient scripture, or something along that lines on which you base you wacky suppositions that you come around and drop on unsuspecting forum denizens, now and again?
Or do you just work these out after having a smoke, and raise them up the flagpole to see who salutes?

The sin of accepting Jesus as messiah is a direct and proximate cause of the imminent demise of the White Race.

What "wacky suppositions" are you even referring to?

Am I supposed to guess?

Then you wonder why I am spotty here. Pffft.

IDK and don't care here.

Mine is a moral issue and not a white race issue.

To answer the question of the title of your thread, yes, it is a sin. Because all religion is a sin.

I see it as both Jesus and the rest of us colaborating to do what is immoral.

It would be evil to ask or to accept. Right?

Or is only one doing the sin or evil?
