    @xlJ_dolphin_473 ; You don't possess the authority to determine what is bad or good in accordance with God's Law. The entire reason for our existence and the creation of Time, Matter, the Universe, Life, Hell, is the resultant of "sin" that manifest in the Kingdom of God before the creation of Time (2 Timothy 1:10; Isaiah 14; Revelation 12; Ezekiel 28:12-17).

    In fact, the ONLY reason our Creator has created the Realm of Time and endured with great suffering the rebellion of human KIND is the truism that He is dealing with a rebellion that manifest in the Kingdom in Eternity past and that rebellion, its "sin," was removed from the Kingdom and is currently being dealt with within the constraints of Time. This is the primary reason Jesus appeared in Time i.e. to defeat the works of the Devil-Lucifer (1 John 3:8). Had the coup de taut lead by Lucifer not manifest, you and I would have never existed. It is because of sin and its destructiveness that God removed that sin and sin's impetus, Lucifer, from the Kingdom and that sin is being dealt with in our presence this very moment (Luke 10:18).  We are not wrestling against flesh and blood but we are in the midst of a spiritual war of incredible magnitude (Ephesians 6:12; James 4:7).  

    You and I are involved in a cataclysmic spiritual war and that war was initiated by rebellion - sin - covetousness - in the Kingdom. Do not think that God the Father is going to compromise with your sin and permit same to enter His Kingdom subsequent to the death of your body. You are a sinner (Romans 3:23) and if you desire to enter God's Kingdom subsequent to your death, your sin must be atoned for, paid for, removed from you and you must be "born again" by the Spirit of God (John 3:3) by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord (John 3:16). If not, God the Father is NOT going to allow your unrepentant sin to enter His Kingdom (Revelation 21:27) and, for this reason, you will ultimately die in sin and die in Hell (John 8:24; Revelation 20:11-14).

    God's standard for entrance into His Kingdom is absolute perfection which mankind cannot attain by his own effort, for this reason, we, human KIND, were all destined to a death in Hell because of our sin, but God intervened in our hopeless condition and in His desire to defeat Lucifer by love...God's own selfless love; He entered Time, took on flesh in the Incarnation and paid the ultimate price for sin i.e. death (Romans 6:23) for you and for me. God the Son, Jesus Christ, was the ONLY ONE who could pay that price for sin because He was/is perfect, Jesus NEVER sinned, Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Law, the 613-Levitical Laws and the 10-Commandments perfectly (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:4).

    When anyone repents of their sin and chooses to believe sincerely in their heart, confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is God who died to pay their sin-debt, God the Father removes all sin from that person's life, past-present-future, and God the Father imputes the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ into and over the life of the one so believing/confessing (Romans 10:9-10; Romans 5:1; John 3:16). When we trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Mediator for our sin, God the Father takes away our imperfection and replaces it with the perfection of the Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 3:25-26; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13).

    When we stand before God in Eternity, those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord......God the Father will NOT see their sin but ONLY the perfection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ (John 3:16; John 3:36; Matthew 25:31-46). God the Father has ordained this through the Covenant to Grace and it is through the Covenant of Grace established in the innocent blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28) - alone - that God the Father defeated Lucifer/Satan, death, Hell and the grave at the Crucifixion (1 John 3:5-8). When we trust in Jesus Christ as Lord, we win the victory over Satan, death, Hell, the grave and we enter into the victory earned for us by Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 15:57).  There is NO OTHER WAY to find life in the Kingdom of God but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Mediator for your sin (John 14:6).


    I'm not sure I follow. These seem like a lot of unrelated statements, their only proof being passages from the Bible. Which is not valid proof, as it is the false authority fallacy. You believe in God's word only because you trust him (or her, or gender-non-specific individual, etc.) and not because you have actual proof of its truth. Can you do better than this?  :grey_question:
