Comment on Teens as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds

Omg, that’s like the most black and white, Mariana Trench deep-in-the-spectrum way of seeing things… Of course no one is GOOD, “only the Father is good”, but we can be good enough (“strive to be perfect just as your Father is perfect”, knowing full well it’s a limit we’ll never touch). God made us this way, flawed and capable of both great evil and goodness, do you think he’s expecting more of us than reasonable righteousness?
If this is just your way of saying “I can’t be good enough and I won’t be saved regardless so why try?”, then that’s your prerogative. There’s no need to rationalize your way into Hell, God is Just and Merciful, do your best and He’ll be pleased.

We can’t be good enough.
Yes. His standard is perfect.
If He is Just based on our personal works, then he is sending us all to hell

You don’t believe in the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad, then. 🤷

Correct- I believe in Jesus - who is the God of Abraham, Moses and Solomon, and who throws Mohammed into the pits where there is eternal weeping and gnashing of teeth
The false god Mohammed talked about was a weak and pathetic angry man in the sky who just made up rules.
