When Jesus sat down with those sinners who dined with Him, we tend to think they were just unbelievers. Let me try to explain these sinners another way. Suppose you went to the sleaziest bar you can imagine on a Saturday night. You slip the bartender a tip if he will just announce to the patrons in the bar that evening that you are having a Sunday feast and you are inviting ALL the patrons to come to your house Sunday for dinner. What kind of people do you suppose you would get to your house on Sunday from that gathering in that bar on that Saturday night? My guess is that you are going to get some pretty seedy characters, including carousers of ALL kinds, thugs, and brawlers. And how do you want these people to dress for a Sunday dinner at your house?
I am not suggesting you do this, but what I am suggesting is that these are exactly the kind of people Jesus dined with and that in fact, when He dined with them, He didn’t even bother to wash His hands, which didn’t go unnoticed by the Pharisees observing Him. These people called “sinners” weren’t just unbelievers. They were the shadiest of characters you can imagine. And probably represented among them was EVERY sexual sin you can imagine. I believe Jesus knew He was NOT going to die for those who had purposely taken Human Life, but when it comes to EVERY sin imaginable, these sinners probably represented EVERY sin imaginable and that He was to die for their sins too. They weren’t just unbelievers. They were ALL sinners to the max!
This is what I am saying when I say that Jesus died for EVERY single sin one can imagine. I will NOT judge ANYONE for God. This is not my purpose for what I am doing for my Angels. There just might be some people who have purposely taken Human Life whom God will excuse. I tend to think not, but what I am suggesting is that God is fair and righteous. Let me just say this about the sin of murder: If we knew what heaven was like we would be falling all over ourselves trying to get in. Too often, we believe that death is losing. It’s really just the opposite. ANYONE who has NOT purposely taken a Human Life NEVER loses to death. It just doesn’t happen that way. We can sit down with all the people we want and try to come up with a description of heaven and no matter what ANYONE says heaven is like, no one can even come close to describing heaven. This is because there is no earthly vocabulary of ANY kind that comes close to describing heaven. There is no experience like it and there are no words to describe it. Even John of Patmos tried and he did the best he could do. But pearly gates and streets of gold are only earthly descriptions for what can’t be described.
I say to let murderers murder murderers. And in many cases, they will. I would say that most everyone living will enter into heaven. But still the path to heaven is the straight and narrow, because in some ways it IS too easy to take a Human Life or even turn on oneself.
God doesn’t want anyone to do harm to others. This is what is most important to understand. Obedience to laws is important too. But God’s permissiveness allows us to do ANYTHING we wish so long as we do no harm either to ourselves or to others. This is NOT the thinking of many and many will judge according to what they believe they know to be true. I am saying that God’s Grace is so abundant that we can’t begin to imagine just how great His Grace is. And I am saying that at the VERY instant of conception each person is conceived with a light inside of him or her that can only be extinguished by the purposeful taking of ANY Human Life. I am saying and have been saying that NOTHING is more important to God than Human Life and He simply wants us to live with whatever it is we do in life. This IS the true meaning of EVERY life, for EVERY life cannot and does not exist apart from God, even if one doesn’t believe this. As God forgives unbelief; so will I. Peace. Brother Ralphie
