If god were saturated with sin then he wouldn't holy and righteous. It's not a difficult concept.
Who says he has to be saturated with sin? He merely forgive us and make us holy by sheer force of will, he is God. He isnt bound by anything. Its why Jesus' death is meaningless if God truly is all powerful, because nothing that dying did for us couldnt just as easily be done by a swipe of Gods hand.
Christianity claims to be the one divine religion not centered around man, but in fact its entire premise is based on human ideas of pain, suffering, free will, judgement and punishment. It places human qualities upon a supposedly omniscient God and then complains when the problems with this are pointed out.
A truly omniscient God would have no need for sacrifices. A god conceived by men however absolutely would, because we require sacrifice and punishment.
quote:
And yes the penalty for sin is death and that debt has to be paid. Jesus paid it but people choose not to accept that gift. God gives us an out. It's not fair to say I will ignore god then complain when I don't reap his benefits.
If God doesnt want to be ignored, he should show himself more often. He did it all the time in the OT.

If sin had no price then there would be no need to avoid it. If murder wasn't a crime people would kill more. If theft wasn't a crime people would steal more. You're saying that god should simply pardon all crimes (sin) in an effort to appease people who don't deserve that kind of mercy. What would be the point of doing good if there was no penalty for evil?
