The utmost sin is to deny the existence of the living God, and to blaspheme Him in that way. Another type of sin is to live by the rules of religion made up by zealots, rather than fact and reason, which is to say, to live by men's rules rather than God's rules.

The Bible is written by many men, but it has one author: God. Through His Holy Spirit, He guided men to write what He had to say. This is true for all men who are moved by His Holy Spirit ... they do what He commands, because it is the spirit that quickens the body, and sets it into motion. When the spirit departs,t he body is dead. When the spirit is present, the body is alive. And when God's Holy Spirit is present, the body moves for God.

There is so much more than that which you are talking about, Walter, and believe in. I offer to you my testimony, and I explain in these writings the nature. If you are able to hear it, I pray that you will embrace it and come out of the worldly way of thinking, the worldly form of carnal reasoning, and repent, and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, and be saved. You will forever be glad you did this. :-)

Love you, Walter. Peace.
