In fact at that point in time the truth was that I did not love God at all. I used God. I took God for granted. All I wanted was what I wanted. I could have cared less about how God felt or what he wanted. At that time I wasn't even aware that God had feelings just like I did. All God was to me was a meal ticket. A free ride to where ever I dreamed I could go. He was my escape goat.

I was addicted to sin and evil.

I will try to help anyone who wants to try to break their addiction to sin and evil. Even if it is to repent from just 1 sin.

You can email me through this web site.

In our flesh dwells no good thing but in the spirit we are like Jesus. Let us walk in the Spirit and we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

They always say

"We are all sinners."

To which I say yes there are 2 groups of sinners.

The sinners that will not repent.

The sinners that will repent.

I do not believe that God will let the sinners that will not repent into His Kingdom.

No matter how hard they try to get in without repenting.

Spirit vs Flesh.

Galatians 5

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;
for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that
you please.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,

20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as
I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

The wrath of God is the judgment poured out on those who have rejected Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Believers are not guilty and will not suffer the wrath of God because God's just fury, indignation and anger for sins was poured out on Christ, who was punished for every sinful person who will come to him by faith.

The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ abolished God’s anger against us, and ensured that His treatment of us forever after would be propitious and favorable. By His sacrificial death for our sins Christ pacified the wrath of God. We are not enemies of God anymore, once we are born again into the kingdom of God, and in place of wrath we have peace with God.

Romans 5:
1-3 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. ¹¹ And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

So for the Christian it is not about how many sins you commit, but the finished work of Christ on the cross and the mercy and grace we receive because of it. I am not saying that sin is no big deal or that we can do as much as we want, but when we do sin we have an Advocate and God's wrath is not upon us.

Ephesians, Chapter 5
1:	Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2:	And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3:	But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4:	Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5:	For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6:	Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7:	Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8:	For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9:	(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10:	Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11:	And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12:	For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13:	But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14:	Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15:	See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16:	Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17:	Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18:	And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19:	Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20:	Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21:	Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Do the people in your church match up to this standard set by God?

Don't him haw around and give me 101 excuses just tell me like it really is.

If your church does not match up this.

Then you are not in the church Jesus built upon the rock.

Your in the church that men built upon the sand.

The answer is found in what David 777 already posted here...

How many people do you know that does not have to always resist the temptation of sin?

You can read from the very first book in the bible to the very last.

God does not tolerate sin. Nor does he ever accept it. No matter who you are. And it is my believe that if you know about like Christians do and still willfully commit it. It is even worse for them than someone who never had the chance to know God and come to the Light by repentance.
