Kindred,
Garbage in garbage out.
Sin in sin out.
You reap what you sow.
The Lord will not be fooled.
And don't you be fooled.
Despite the wishful thinking by some, who think the Way (to Heaven) is mainly about forgiveness or belief, it really is about the nature of your soul and what you sow.
It is written (in scripture) that the one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will be the one to receive eternal life.
P.s.
Even if the sinner is forgivern for sins, sins still were committed, harm and injuries to character (gone corrupted and rotten) and to victims still occurred, and done bad, but nothing good, no grace; therefore, no good nature.
