for Christ died for our sins - without really fully understanding or ever coming to comprehend what happened to the sin debt Christ died for.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

First of all, "Christ" is a title, a title that existed before and after the advent of Jesus of Nazareth. It was bestowed on Jesus of Nazareth when it was said that he, supposedly, rose from the dead.
Secondly, nobody died for your sins. Jesus never taught that his death would redeem a "sin debt".
Jesus forgave people of their "sin" while he was alive, supposedly, and taught that we are forgiven as we forgive others. He said nothing of forgiveness taking place only after his death.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

Jesus didn't die for your sin.

WOW! What a waste of words!
You guys never cease to amaze me, the way you dismiss the life and teachings of your own savior. You don't think it applies to you! Don't pee on leg and then tell me it's raining!
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.[a]
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,[c]
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.[d]
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Nobody died for your sins! You have work of your own to do!

I think its funny when people think they have got all the answers. When people think they know.
I believe it was Plato that said it best, "All I know is that I know nothing."
This is the Socratic Paradox. Learn it well for a great deal of enlightenment lies within your ability to fathom this.

I don't need luck. There is no such thing as luck. I'm not sure exactly what it is you are implying but if you are trying to intimidate me into believing your religion or whatever then... Good Luck!
Hail Eris!

Yeah, but it doesn't matter which religion I choose though because I can't choose them all! There are (apparently) negative consequences for all of them so no matter which I choose I will still suffer the consequences of not choosing the others!
My only real choice is to become a Chirstislamahindujewdist and, as much fun as that sounds, is very hard to pronounce in polite conversation.
Besides, I've already got a religion that I'm perfectly happy with. I hope you are happy with yours because I have no intentions of trying to convert you. Who am I to mess with your happiness?

No, its you that has a rough road ahead of him. Unless, of course, you convert to Discordianism.
See? I can do it too.
But please. Do not actually convert. We don't accept overbearing indoctrinates. Those fall into the category of "greyface".
Good luck in THUD you non-Discordian Paulpresser (coined!).
No but seriously, I wish you nothing but the best in all future endeavors, regardless of your religious affiliation.

I took out something that makes no since, some kind of superiority teaching that seems to be added to Hebrews?
Hebrews 1:1-3:15;
From of old, Yahweh spoke to the Israelites fathers by the prophets in every manner, and in all ways; but in these later days, Yahweh has conversed with us, by his son; whom Yahweh has constituted heir of all things, and when Yeshua made a purgation of sins, then Yeshua sat down on the right hand of Yahweh. Wherefore, my brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this high priest of our profession, Yeshua the Messiah; because Yahweh has said, “O, if you would but heed my charge this day; do not be stubborn as at Meribah, in the wilderness, when your fathers put me to the test, tried me, though they had seen my deeds.
Forty years I was provoked by that generation; I thought, they are a senseless people; they would not know my ways. Concerning them, I swore in anger, they shall never come to my resting-place!” Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of us an evil heart that believes not, and we depart from the living Yahweh; but we need to examine ourselves all the days, during the day which is called today; and let none of us be hardened, through the deceitfulness of sin; for we have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end; as it was said, “O, if you would but heed my charge this day.” Do not harden your hearts to anger Yahweh.
Hebrews 1:4-2:18; 3:2-6 is what was left out.

Uh, thank you, I'm sure, but I merely offered that link for food for thought, perhaps.
I am neither endorsing or condoning anything by the presentation thereof! *__-
