Now, these were obviously meant to be funny. Yet, they are factually accurate. I invite anyone who wishes to argue how these videos misrepresent what the majority of Christians regard as the foundation of their faith.

I've been doing it wrong all along . . .
I think they were...
"Be kind to widows"
"Be kind to the poor"
And... I forget the last one. Something about charity.
Those should be the first ones, don't ya think? About being nice to others and caring for those less fortunate? I know that in other religions (Islam comes to mind), charity is at the top of the list on priorities.
And seriously, who follows these anymore? >.>
I did have to laugh at the video because it is over the top, and I can see how some people mistake being saved as not being held accountable for their mistakes, but if they're truly Christians, they wouldn't keep doing wrong things to "have to be held accountable for." Everyone has the right to live their life and do what they will, whether Christian or not, and not be judged for it, but as a Christian, should put certain things aside not only because you respect God as your Holy Father, but because you realize that His Commandments are set in place to protect us, not hinder us.
As far as I understand, it's impossible to stop sinning.

Not according to the bible

You mean the ten commandments or the entire bible?
You are very right, it is impossible as humans to stop sinning because our nature is sinful, but we repent, and part of repentance is turning away from that sin, but we all fall, and only through Christ are we able to overcome sin, but in this life we won't overcome sin.
Or in other words, our standard is to be perfection, but in this life we cannot achieve it.
I would disagree that they will not be judged by what they do, as it is made clear in Scripture that all will be judged according to what they did, without partiality.
Also on this, humans have free will, but God has predestined what that free will will decide, hope that makes sense
And finally, all commandments set in place by the entire Bible are never a burden nor will they burden Christians. 1 John 5:3
And a question for you Ivan, you seem to have really diverse beliefs on religion, so if you don't mind me asking, do you have a religion you follow? Or?
Thanks
