I wish with all my heart and soul I never said anything anything sinful/dishonest/amoral/immoral, but though I have been saved by the redeeming blood of the Lamb, I still live in the flesh. Unfortunately, that means I am subject to the same temptations as any other human and to my profound regret, I sin. When I realize I’ve sinned, I seek forgiveness and repent.
Also, I love those who do sin, although I admit that I may not like them. By loving them, I attempt to help and counsel them. More importantly, I pray that the Holy Spirit will work in their lives to turn them from their sin.
The choice to turn from sin is a personal one, as is the choice to accept the atoning work of Jesus. Those who chose to continue to sin willfully are best left to the judgment of God. Only He possess the omnipotent knowledge
necessary to judge anyone.

then you would favor closing the police departments, courts, prisons, etc because you would leave judgment to God???
fwiw, i'm a REALLY poor excuse for a Christian & i believe that IF we do NOT make judgments on this earth about IMORALITY/DISHONESTY, that there will be LOTS more of it.
