Some people say "There are no bad people, just bad choices." But, in reality, it's the other way around-" There are no GOOD people, just GOOD choices." As human beings, we are imperfect by nature- therefor no one has the right to judge another. This is one of the central messages in the Christian faith(although, you don't necessarily have to be a Christian to believe it. It's universal truth among all creeds, faiths, religions,And if you don't believe in a particular religion, it's still true in simple human philosophy) The bible says that we are born into sin. In Romans 3:10 it says " No one is righteous. NOT ONE." and Romans 5:10 says "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to ALL MEN because ALL sinned". However, we have the choice not to give into our sinful nature. It's the choices we make that lead us to everlasting life or eternal death and destruction. I pointed out in another blog how some people say that Christians operate by using the fear that God will send people to Hell in order to get them to believe in Him and to keep from commiting sin or wrong-doing. But,that's just a cop out-an excuse people use to find any way they can to run from God or invalidate His existence. The honest truth is that, by doing wrong and CONTINUING to do wrong while knowing the consequences, Hell is a SELF-inflicted punishment. We can't blame that on God. Saying that God 'sends people to Hell' makes no more sense than a criminal who repeatedly breaks the law blaming the judge for, eventually being sentenced to life in prison. Or blaming a mother who persistantly warns their child not to run into the street and they do it anyway, resulting in a fatal accident. And simply choosing not to believe in God to escape His judgement is like choosing not to believe in the judge to escape the law-It simply doesn't work that way.
