So, when do you get free from these sins? Can I ever get free from sins
in this life by devoting to Jesus Christ? Why the Church collects money
and not use Jesus Christ alone to fight sin? What do you mean by sin?
If your definition of sin is poverty, then the west did not get rid of sin of
being poor by following Jesus Christ but by colonizing the world and
exploiting their resources to their advantage.
Do you think that the world was miserable before the birth of Jesus Christ?
In fact, the history shows that when Europe was devoted to Jesus Christ,
it was poor. The prosperity started growing only after breaking with the
Jesus Christ and following common-sense and scientific thinking.
Sorry, if I hurt your faith and feelings. I replied in this way because
the contents of your writing appear to be an answer to the title. The
topic is much more complex than your answer.
