G-d isn't so forgiving. If one commits murder, he will not forgive.
Yes, Christians are allowed to confess their sins to a priest or reverend, but that doesn't necessarily mean G-d will forgive them. It is a plea to G-d for forgiveness. Whether G-d decides to forgive that person cannot be discovered in life.
Jews have a chance to repent on Yom Kippur, but that doesn't mean G-d will forgive us for our sins. It is a plea for forgiveness.
Just like in court, a criminal can plea innocent, but that doesn't mean he will be found as such.

Hi Hail Columbia - what do you mean by Orthodox Christian? I never heard that description before. :)

--- Quote from: ~*Mills*~ on October 10, 2007, 10:38:47 PM ---Orthodox Christians are like Catholic Byzantines, Greek Orthodox, Coptic??, Russian Orthodox. They have inter communion with the Catholic church. BUT they do the "sign of the cross" the opposite way that Catholics do and the Vatican "Holy See" has no authority over them, although they are affiliated.

Very interesting - I did not know that - Thank You for helping me out on that one :)
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Baruch im sorry to correct you but it is not Hassidim, please go to the link I posted. Its a Halahic website of Sefardim (specifically Syrians). Like I said before the law is derived from the Rambam who lived wayy before the Baal Shem tov (founder of Hassidim), and he says its from the Torah (Yakov- not a Rabbinic fence).
Im not perfect, but the way to perfection is threw acquiring Daat (knowledge of the Torah)- a combination of Wisdom and understanding and then applying it (aka perfecting yourself).
Also about the issue of Hassidim, - all Hassidim are not as strict as other Orthodox rulings, and for example the Breslov just follow the Shulhan Aruh w/o necessarily making fences. Most Orthodox (except maybe Modern Orthodox) Rabbis are stricted then Hassidim, so lets get ride of that myth.
