I was listening to a pastor-guy who had been in jail for murder when he was a young man. He gave this scripture to prove that everyone is equally as bad. I know murder is not forgiven in the flesh. 1 John 3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ?? - Lisa

Everyone is bad. There is no one that does good. Everyone sins. Not even Jesus admitted He was good, claiming there was only one that was good: God. However,
as Christians, we have a Savior that died for us and we have His Word which lets us know the difference between right and wrong and good and evil, and convicts
us of sin. For sin is a transgression of the Law.
Many Christians know what a sin is, based on what the Bible says a sin is. Most non-Christians do not know what a sin is, based on relativism, personal experience, culture and their own individual understanding of what they assume to be the difference between right and wrong and good and evil because they haven't read the Bible. Christians who repent, admit they are sinners, and ask Christ for forgiveness and are forgiven. This does not mean they are exempt from sinning again, but they have "the way" to be forgiven, and Christ is the way. Non-Christians don't repent and if they do, they don't necessarily turn to Christ for forgiveness and only He can forgive them; not some god they made up in their own minds. Thus, the stain of their sin will always remain before God. If they don't turn to Christ, either in this life or in the future they can never be forgiven, and ultimately will be destroyed by God. Thus all non-Christians are worthy of death, because the wage of sin is death. Only by turning to Christ, admitting they are sinners, repenting and asking for forgiveness, can Christ forgive them. Psalm 147:5, Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. |

no one is forgiven in the flesh unless they repent to FATHER in JESUS name. there is no other route for salvation.
after repentance, FATHER will judge if they tried a con or was for real. there is where we fall short, after repentance, that act is in our FATHER'S hands. perfect judgment. such a comfort that one day judgment will be perfect. there will be no lost evidence. no loophole, they are all covered. no pay off's, no bias. ahhhhhhh, our FATHER judges perfectly. in CHRIST, yaka.
Jer 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

I think the fact that we have two bodies might present more understanding. We had a lesson this morning in Galations.
Gal. 5:18 18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,strife, seditions, heresies, 21: Envyings, murders,drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,gentleness, goodness, faith, 23: Meekness, temperance:against such there is no law. 24: And they that are Christ'shave crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25: If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. Pastor Arnold explained that the best we can do in this life is to follow these verses and obey the spirit. 1 John 3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. The above verse reveals fleshly thinking which makes anyone 'under the law'.
In His precious love,
DeDe Send forth Your light and Your truth, let themguide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain to the place where You dwell. Psa. 43:3

3404. miseo mis-eh'-o from a primary misos (hatred);
remember . . .we don't have to love satan!!!!!! . . .and sometimes with love , (comes correction) - Think (WAR here) , - to protect ourselves , (and show cetain types, they cannot bully others) - and we are to "LOVE GOD MOST", (and LOVE others -LESS) ( . . .this even includes our own family members) . . .its that simple LOVE the SINNER ...but NOT the SIN  (REPENTANCE is a
GIFT) 
- we all fall short of GOD'S (PERFECTION)
(filthy = `ed / Hebrew) - think menstruation here , (rags = beged / Hebrew) - a covering, i.e. clothing ( ..."harsh but true") "OUR HOLY FATHER" loves us so very much 
( - but we , even at our very best , PALE in comparison, to "HE" who is "MOST HOLY")

This is just my preference: I wouldn't get my spiritual drink and food from such a one.
