It has everything to do with the words you yourself posted. I was not commenting on Kobe’s spiritual life. I hope he is with the Lord right now in heaven.
If you read again what I said, I was only commenting on your words (Devout Christians commit murders,etc.) and clarifying that the actions of those you referred to were done without the saving life of Jesus Christ living within them by His Spirit. King David lived before the New Covenant which Jesus ushered in.
And the Apostle Paul became a totally different man once he was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. Paul was not perfect, but after being saved he never committed nor would ever approve of Christians doing any of those things you mentioned. He preached the truth — that Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and fills us with His Spirit so that we can live our lives pleasing to God.
In fact, the Apostle John said, “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (I John 3:15)
Again, I was not commenting on Kobe’s life. My hope for Kobe and those other people is that they are presently with the Lord in heaven. I was only referring to your words about devout Christians. Hope you understand this now.
Devout Christians sin. Every day. And there is no magnitude or gradient for sin. In God’s eyes all sins are equal.
