OK, first i' confused about alot of things and i would like to know what to think about them. people have told me on many occassion that to see God's face i ahave to life right and serve him continuously but i wnat to know what is RIGHT? (to explain what i mean). sin is here always even in the begining of time before and afetr Jesus died for them. how do you not sin AT ALL? because even Jesus desiples had to sin in order to fulfill the prophetices... true? so what happen to them? did they go to heave for do as was written (sin for the greater good) or did they go to hell for sinning (without choice)? this is only a small bite to my confusions.......!!!!!!!! did God create some people and not some? becaus people themself cast out people from society (gays and indifferents people) isnt that a sin by itself? didn't God Create those very people too??????????? i'll leave you with that for now!!!!

I do hope english is your second language.
To get unconfused you need first to decide for yourself what is right and what is wrong. If you look to others to make this decision for you you will stay lost.
Yeah God, Jesus, and most of the other stuff in the bible is nonsense.
I went through a phase where I started looking for answers like yourself. Took some classes dealing with religion, read some religious books, studied and looked into many of the popular present religions, but also past ones as well.
I came to the conclusion it is all nonsense made up by people who didnt understand how the world really worked. Mythology was very common back then, the stuff that survived is called "religion", where as the stuff that died out is called "mythology", but there is no difference
First of all it is impossible not to sin, and yes you are forgiven if you believe. Secondly you can not simply have a total disregard for the laws, that is also covered in the Bible. So once you are saved you can not just go sin with the idea that it does not matter, you are forgiven. And yes the people that outcast others are wrong, the second most important commandment is to love one another.
win them with love, lead by example and follow in faith
I have a fairly good idea that if I leave my 1 year old grandaughter in the kitchen with a plate of cookie within her reach that one (or more) of those cookies will make their way into her stomach. I am not forcing her to eat the cookies, nor am I approving of her action. Nor does that excuse her actions, since she still made the choice to eat it. But I do know her well enough to know what she will do.
The Bible tells us that God knows our hearts. He knows what we will do. So he knew that, inspite of all his teaching, that his disciples were still going to desert him when he was arrested, and that Peter would deny him. That does not mean he forced Peter or the others to do it, nor did he approve of their actions. Nor does it excuse their actions. He only knew them well enough to know what they would do.
Knowing what someone will do and making them do it are two very different things.
God has never used sin at any time to advance his plans or accomplish his will. But he often finds ways, after a sin is committed, to redeem the situation through it. God is in the redemption business.
What about the issue of homosexuality? The Bible has a very simple answer to that. Paul wrote about it in the 6th chapter of his first letter to the Corinthians Christians.
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexuals nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Note once again that God is in the redemption business, even with homosexuals.
God created all persons and to each He gave freewill. Those who choose not to obey His rules, or believe that Christ is His only Son and that only through Him can one be saved have made their choice to reject God and His free gift of salvation. Original sin, Adam and Eve made the choice to eat of the forbidden fruit and brought sin into the world. As descendents of the original humans we come into this world with the burden of original sin and must therefore seek salvation (repentence of sin, belief in Christ bring about the restoration of fellowship and love of God) Because of our human nature and the ability to make choices we will sin. We also have the choice to confess those sins and be forgiven. We will never be sinless only God is perfect so we do our best to obey His commandments and live as Jesus taught us to by loving and helping others.
