1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

I know this passage doesn't specifically mention murderers, but the Apostle Paul never shied away from the fact that he was one.

Casey only deserves to fry in Hell!!

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We all only deserve to fry in Hell. That's why we need a savior. That's why Jesus had to die for us.

King David was both an adulterer and a murderer, yet he was “a man after God’s own heart.”

People who carve out any one sin and claim it is especially deserving of hell underestimate the depth of their own sin. They misunderstand how grievous even one sin is in the eyes of God. But our outward acts aren’t our real problem. Our problem is one of nature. We aren’t sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners BY NATURE as a result of the fall of Adam, the federal head of the human race. Sin has infected every iota of our being and all of creation. In the Psalms it tells us that we are conceived in iniquity, which means that we are guilty before Him before we take one sip of God’s air. We are guilty because we inherit our daddy Adam’s sinful nature.

Christ came to save SINNERS (like me). He came to seek and save that which was lost.
