According to the Holy Bible ‘While we were yet (still) sinners, Christ died for our sins’. Jesus didn't wait until we were perfect or even repentant, HE died while we were active sinners out of Gods will. By out of Gods will I mean in disobedience and not following Gods will.
It is Gods will that NONE perish but that all are saved.

That would even include Adolph Hitler who would have been forgiven IF he would have repented, confessed his sins to GOD and asked for forgiveness.

Why is that so? It is because the price that CHRIST paid was so high it covered EVERYONES sins for all time. There is no further price to pay for God's forgiveness, only repentance and acceptance of what Jesus has done for us.

The issue with Hitler is that he wouldn't, didn't and even couldn't repent because he was so far gone. It is not because the price paid was insufficient.

The bible states that by repeating our sins we become insensitive to them like searing the skin and losing feeling. The longer we remain in our sins rejecting God, the harder it is for us to repent due to the ‘searing’ of conscience.

The Bible also states that we need to forgive others if we want God to forgive us. That forgiveness is part of the repentance and acceptance of God's will for all. It is Gods will for ALL which includes not only us but also John Edwards to be saved.

The bible also states not to judge others, it God's right alone to do that. Once this life is over, we ALL will pass into judgment. Some for condemnation and others for reward. There are TWO judgment seats, One ‘The Judgment Seat of Christ’ is for reward for the saints while the other ‘The Great White Throne’ is for punishment.

The Bible states ‘For it is appointed onto man once to die and after that the judgment’. At the time of judgment I want to be before Christ for reward and not before the Father for punishment.

God's purpose for man is that he lives a Godly life in accordance with God's will. God doesn't want to punish if it can be avoided. The goal is repentance and correct living not an endless cycle of crime and punishment.

God is longsuffering (patient) and not willing for any to perish. He doesn't demand immediate punishment for any and all of our sins, He wants us to stop committing those sins and get right with Him. In that case, there is no punishment coming from God because Christ on the cross has already paid the price and suffered for every ones sins. He (Jesus) willingly took all the punishment due on himself rather than allow any to be lost due to those sins.

Jesus is the Christ (or Christos in Greek) which means ‘anointed one’. Christ is not Jesus last name, it is a title or appointment from God the Father unique to Jesus (yeshua in Hebrew) the only begotten Son of the Father).

That title or appointment is for no other and no other can rightly claim it.

I’ve got to run now for a VA appointment, Catch yall later.
