If you killed someone or took an extra newspaper at the vending machine without paying you are just as guilty of sin. The price is the same. Can you walk the perfect walk? Think long and hard about what you do daily, what you say, what you think. No we can not do it. GOD knew we could not do it. That is the reason for Christ. We can not save ourselves through our behavior. We are saved by Grace and by Grace alone when we except Christ. We should try to be Christ like in our lives for our own sakes as it brings peace. But you, me, the Pope, the Preacher Smith, will still sin till we die. The difference being our sins are placed upon Christ.
friend, killing someone is not the same sin as stealing a newspaper. when you get that through your head, come back and talk some religion/theology.
How bout Jeffrey Dahmer and the person who took an extra newspaper? Price still the same?
