David shows to us the Biblical truth that while sin is indeed very bad and destructive in its effects, the grace of our God is greater still!
God does not require us to be sinless though in order to save us!This is why there is a sin unto death and a sin not unto death (1 John 5:16-17). Some would teach all sins are the same so it is futile or impossible to obey God's laws under the New Covenant or New Contract. What they do not realize is that with God, all things are possible. But folks prefer the wide gate path. They prefer to justify sin with the thinking they are saved. The narrow way is clearly not justifying sin because that is what most people do today. Very few are seeking to actually obey Jesus and defend what is good and right today.

None of us have sin before God if we have the High Priest Jesus to intercede for us, and are washed in his blood !In the Old Testament could the priest enter the holy of holies with sin?

Jesus never will condemn a sinner that he died for, and whose sins were washed in his blood, and was now saved by Him!Again, not all sin is the same. See this post here. Anyways, if what you say is true, then why would Jesus need to warns us about how certain sins can condemn us (See Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37, Matthew 25:31-46). It makes no sense to say these things to unsaved people because they first need to accept Jesus to be saved and they cannot obey God yet.
I ask about the victims of sin and you attack me.Have you reached a sinless perfection state then?
Jesus told some to depart from him. He died for them but he sent them away.Jesus never will condemn a sinner that he died for, and whose sins were washed in his blood, and was now saved by Him!
If they tell themselvses they "accidentally" took the wrong handbag and kept it, it is. If they tell themselvses they are telling Mary something "for her own good" that is very negative about her spouse, they are lying to themselves and it is a sin. I can name lots and lots of these. Anyone outside sees clearly that the person is lying to themselves. How does one take the wrong shopping cart and not return it when they notice their groceries are not in it? How is this done innocently?

Do you Jason believe Gods grace is sufficient to save? Another wards do you believe Christ and His merits alone are sufficient to save a sinner?How so? Calvinists believe God chooses some to be unsaved and others to be saved. So this takes away any responsibility on your end. You have nobody to blame for anything but God then. But God is not the direct author of evil. God is holy and good and there is no darkness in God. God created free will creatures who have the capacity to do either good or bad.
Oh please. Stop it. God is not fooled.
If your intentions are good, then "sin", as people want to claim, is not a sin.
Stop whining. Whining is not a sin. You are a whiner, but your intentions are good.
Well, God is not fooled by those who think they can sin and still be saved. God is good and He cannot justify a person's thinking that they can sin and still be saved (Unless God were to agree with sin Himself). Not sure what Bible you have been reading, but my Bible says,
"Save yourselves from this corrupt generation" (Acts of the Apostles 2:40).
"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness." (1 John 5:19).
"God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him" (Acts of the Apostles 10:34-35)
“For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;" (Romans 2:11-12).
The same Bible as you, but in mine Jesus likes people.

The same Bible as you, but in mine Jesus likes people. I don't think of my mom as corrupt.
God deals with us in real time. This is evident by many verses in Scripture.
God was going to bring judgment (destruction) to the city of Nineveh, but the judgment was averted by them repenting (seeking forgiveness) and turning from their wicked ways.
What is interesting is that God did not turn away from His wrath or judgment upon them at the point when they first cried out to God, but it was when they later had forsaken their evil ways.
You can read this for yourself in Jonah 3:6-10.
God is a lot more patient than you are. He does not judge before time. The God you describe hasn't 5 seconds of patience to see how the man will decide. One sin and his name is crossed out of the book. Opps he repents and so we write it in again. Opps sinned again and so we cross it out. This is absurd. The God I know is patient and long suffering and gives the sinner chances and time to repent. Until judgement, no one is lost eternally. Once dead, the choices are over.
True.
Where does it say at that moment David was not saved? Where does it describe David as saved at all?
SO there is no repentance and forgiveness possible before the end. Again, you assume the end before the end. God is more patient that you give him credit for.
No, he said looking at a women IN ORDER to lust. Not the same thing.
Same man believed GOd forgives sin. YOu forget that part but stop at a moment and assume that is the end when it clearly is not.
Then why do you judge him as though he was dead.
You think saved or not saved is a revolving door constantly changing with no patience to repent on God's part. And my example is perfect. You judge the end long before it happens. God is not like that.
I deleted your actually description as it was too dirty for my mind. I started reading it but it was disgusting and unnecessary language. If a man sins he does not become unsaved at that moment.
