[quote=scaeagles;307267]Again, I think too many get caught up in good vs. bad. The idea is that everyone is unable to be good enough, and that's why the sacrifice of Jesus was so important. And there's enough of it for everyone. There's a parable called the parable of the laborers. Vineyard owner hires some people at sunrise and says he'll pay them a days wage to come work. He goes out late in the day and hires more and pays them the same. The land owner rebukes the jealous that worked all day because they still got what they were promised. So, if someone has been horrible and a murderer, but truly repents and accepts the sacrifice of Jesus before he die he receives the same forgiveness.

That totally goes against my sense of fairness. I know I know. Life isn't fair. Whatever.
