Apparently my views of sin and repentance are not Christian.

I have always believed that we inherit the debt of Adam. Submitting to Christ clears this debt. However, in this life we continue to accrue debt. By sinning we degrade society, either directly (theft, murder, adultery) or indirectly by defiling our own character (wanking, gluttony, idleness). By defiling yourself, you become a weak link in the social chain and in turn cause a weakness in society which can be exploited by the evil.

Every action you take and word you speak causes a rippling effect through the world. These things, if sinful, will help to normalize that sin and become a stumbling block to another. To cause a stumbling block to your brother is one of the greatest acts of hatred that can be produced in life. Such things produce a debt upon your soul.

In the day of Judgement the Judge of judges will look over your record. If you have lived a life of sinfulness and caused another to stray, then you are responsible for his negative actions and you will pay with your soul. However, if you lived a life of temperance and goodness, the positive actions produced hence will be glorified and rewarded.

This is why we are called to conform to a certain manner in the scripture. This is also what Jesus meant when he said "take up your cross and follow me." Jesus never led a single soul astray nor defiled himself in any manner, being a perfect example of man.

However apparently this is not accepted by any Christian sect. I thought this is what the Catholics believed but it seems that I have switched timelines again. Pray for me that I may conform to the correct path and not wander down various roads of heresy.
