I don't know how many times this question has been asked but again ... God Loves us all... we are ALL sinners.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
no matter what we believe the sin to be.. we are all guilty.. if you want to know if this is correct.. then test yourself..be honest
Is lying a sin?
have you ever lied?
is adultery a sin?
Matthew 5:28 Jesus said..
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Have you ever looked at anyone with lust?
Have you ever stolen anything? that would be a thief..
have you ever hated anyone?
1 John 3:15
Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer.
Sin is sin.. there is not one sin greater than the next and we will all be judged for it..
a true believer and follower of Jesus will know the truth of what is admissible as sin to God. because he knows what God loves and what God hates and God hates sin . God is Holy and pure and cannot live with sin, it is against His nature.He wants His followers to be holy also..
1 John 3:9
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
1 Peter 1:14-16
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
However... GOD knows that we ALL sin and as sinners HE still loves us and offers us a FREE gift to come to know HIM and have a relationship with HIM...
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NOTHING we do or don't do can help to save ourselves, that's why religion doesn't work, only faith..and nothing we ever do will separate those who believe in Christ from God..
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus came to save those who recognize they are sinners... Mark 2:17
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
His(JESUS) sacrifice paid the price for our debt (sin) to God and if we believe and accept this free gift of salvation through faith, we are washed clean from sin. We are then required to live a holy life that only God can change us into.
God will NEVER turn anyone away... Jesus died for the sinner (homosexuals included) How much more does anyone have to do to show their LOVE for them than to die for them...
God Loves every person no matter what their sin.. all He asks is that you repent from sin and accept Him as Savior... turn your back on flesh desires and He will give you a new spirit.. that is what is meant by being "BORN AGAIN"
