       They want to receive the benefits from God and yet just list the Bible as another great philosophical book (with some good insights) because if one was to accept it as a whole, you have to accept the sin part of it. Is that a good thing, though, to accept the sin part of it? I know for me, personally, speaking for myself, I’m not perfect. I think it’s safe to say that goodness is only true on one side of things. It is true that I am inherently good, at least from my perspective. What I mean is that if I am not inherently good, then why did Jesus come all the way down here to the earth and die for my sins. His death for my sake, for everyone’s sake, goes to show human beings have inherent goodness. It’s also true, though, that the mere fact Jesus had to die for our sins also shows inherent badness on the part of each one of us. A penalty had to be payed. Our sin-debts were separating us from God.
