This was one of the first things I questioned as it pertained to the traditions of Christianity, as I studied the first five books of the Bible, I noticed that there was a strong commandment not to drink blood or any manner of blood was considered "unclean." I actually shortly later read a book called Jesus and the Big Lie, which I can no longer find on Amazon or Kindle, where I read it. This book opened my eyes to several other abominable things that are passed over as tradition of Christians. I'll put the Scripture for this in the Classroom.

Once I realized the lie of human sacrifice for sin... which now saying it just sounds so crazy that I ever believed it, but once I got over that whole thing. It became glaringly obvious just how often I would need to repent. As Ezekiel 18 states, it's basically the path that you're on at the moment of your death that decides your fate. The moment of your death, you cannot decide or be prepared for. The only thing you can do is turn from sin in every moment. To have this time to correct yourself and be corrected by the Spirit of Wisdom is a blessing, because it wasn't an overnight mindset change. I like to think of it as a trail hike. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️ When you're on a trail hike, you sometimes come to a place where the fork in the road leads in opposite directions. This is the option before you: to live in sin or righteousness. You cannot choose both paths, as soon as you turn toward the path that leads to death, sin, you're going in the wrong direction to get to life. Which way you're pointed is the thing that matters. Every time you make a decision that leads to death, you're facing the wrong way until you repent. You're practically running in the wrong direction without supplies. The only thing you can do to get where you want to be, EVER, is to turn around. And that's repentance. Turn back around, sure you're farther away than you were before, but you'll never get back if you don't turn around. What's something you are wondering about in this "specific offenses" category? Should you repent? Will it be okay to continue? Is THIS a "salvation issue" as is said in the Christian circles?
