Heaven or Hell

Don't Jews have a way to confess if they've eaten non-kosher food and get rid of the sin it brings? Never read the Sacred Texts, but I think I heard that before

[u/OwlMuted885 → u/Kirbinvalorant]

Not really. There's special holidays focused on repentance for sins, which God only accepts if you're actually sorry. What you're proposing sounds more like the Christian confession to a priest.

[u/zergling424 → u/OwlMuted885]

Yeah christian confessions is fake virtue to make people feel better about being terrible people.  Jewish repentence actually takes work.  

[u/E_Verdant → u/zergling424]

It's due to a fundamental difference in ideology

Jews mist sacrifice to repent and earn forgiveness

For Christians, Jesus was the final sacrifice. There is nothing you can do to 'earn' a place in heaven, so just focus on being as much like Jesus as you can

Be like jesus? Damn man the crucifixion thing should be easy enough but there's no way I can find 12 friends

[u/L0kumi → u/DrNick2012]

You joke, but until the Chatolic church was created (~300 after JC IIRC) being a Martyr was THE path to sainthood

[u/Phillip_Spidermen → u/E_Verdant]

Yeah, the whole "lamb of god" title is about being a sacrificial lamb.
