that is specifically why i said "a person," which notice your reply just sorta obscures the person that interprets what Christ said there. i see what you did! lol
it might be good to bear in mind that David was a man after God's own heart, yet i suspect that he would not pass muster with you. if we are not to be frozen in place by dwelling on sin, i think the creative force realized in a child's fingerpainting should be much closer to the way to frame things than by focusing on a little spilled milk. Once we accept and appreciate that we are forgiven, it becomes a false pursuit to dwell on sin and forgiveness imo.

Not one who practices a sin will be forgiven. practice or willfull.
Yet ALL have sinned...suppose heaven must b a really EMPTY place huh?
Some live righteous lives--they take the time to learn and apply every teaching Jesus gave to us--one big one is---Man does not live by bread alone, but by every utterance from God= OT-NT--years of study-over and over to learn every utterance--Few bother.
yet also, little children are deemed to "have it," without all of that? There is a process of "forgetting" that should not be ignored either, imo. And remembering.

How many years does that god say it should take? I would think that if it took too long, one's life would be wasted in SIN and skullduggery before they ever truly understand?
All Jesus said was ALL WHO COME TO ME I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OT and that THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME AFTER ME..Jesus must have forgot to explain the part about waiting YEARS to truly understand the plan..after all He was so busy with that whole ascension thing, right?
