• Matthew 9

  Do we really have the right to say what sins are forgiven? Why do we shun the very people jesus ate with? The church needs to sit itself down and do some homework. We have become elitists, thinking we can be picky about who we let into the church. We will travel to jungles and all over the world to spread the word but will not do so in our own backyard. Have we become so different from the pharisees who persecuted jesus? We persecute the people around by passing our flawed human judgement on others; unwilling to pass on God's fairness to those who ask for it.

  I've heard the question posed can a serial killer go to heaven? I believe that if they truly change and ask for forgiveness that they do. God can see in men's hearts the truth of the matter. After all we  have all sinned and fallen short and no sin is greater than another, but through forgiveness we are purified and made clean. Everyone deserves a chance at that.
