In other words, have you kept the 10 commandments? Have you ever lied? How about Murdered? Actually the Bible even says to hate someone is to be a murderer. Ever Had sex outside of Marriage? Or even look at someone with lust? that is called adultery, according to the Bible. Ever used God's name in vain? Have you honored your parents? Have you kept God first in life? Have you made a God to suit yourself? that is called idolitary.
The Bible says that if we have offended the law in one point, we have broken the whole law. We are all guilty. We have all sinned. And God, who is just, must punish us. We all are on our way to hell. But Godhas given us a gift. Jesus is willing to pay your fine. All you have to do is repent of your sins and ask Jesus to save you from them. Trust in him for salvation. Please consider this, and if you accept the gift praise God! I have accepted it and I am on my way to heaven. How about you?

Though there are good people who are christians, you do not have to be a christian to be a good person.

Jesus IS willing? How many times are you going to sacrafice the poor guy? He did it once, and He did it for all.
There is no sin, because He fulfilled the law.
There is NO where in the bible that it says you have to ask Jesus to save you. Our choice was left out of the decision. God and Jesus decided and they did it. That is why it is compared to a Jewish wedding. We are the bride. The bride has no say. The father and son decide.
Doing good works or trying to have enough faith is self righteous and arrogant. These are the lusts of the flesh that Paul warned of. You do not need to prove who you are. You are already righteous, you are already 'God'.
Did Jesus not take all the punishment? Yes He did. He took everything that happened in Revelations upon Himself. He interceded the wrath brought upon by law.
Praise God for not counting on us! You need to free your mind from sin consciousness. You must humble yourself. Your actions are futile against those of Jesus. He is not weak. He is the savior of the world and nothing can change that.
The only thing the devil tried to do is teach seperation - by trying to get you to prove yourself. It is in your mind that you think you are seperated.

Am I a good person?
I've lied... when asked " do I look fat in this dress"
If my child was raped or molested, I'd bury the fu**er in my back yard in pieces. thankfully I haven't had to do it.
Do I hate people... it comes in handy to remember who my enemies are... those who contribute to hate I hate.
I'm 43 and never been married... ain't gonna wait for the likes of religion to have sex.
you don't even have a name for god you idiot so how could you know what that means. PS your bible even states theirs a god above jesus, you just don't chose to see that side.
Life matters with all the yahoo's on the earth proclaiming what god is it's better to look at nature as a guide. I have life I appreciate it.
Have I made god to suit myself... Idolatry all religions practice this one... obviously you do too. I don't
If you want to really repent you'd give up your religion
There ain't no Jesus willing to pay for you.
Am I a good person, you damn straight I am.

I try to be the best person I can be. I am good by standards yet I am flawed like all humans. Everyday I strive to become better and pleasing to the Lord. God knows my heart and Jesus is my savior. I feel pretty secure.

well it's a good thing I do not believe because--- from the looks of it--- I'm batting 1000... the only thing I havent done is Murdered.... unless you count swatting a fly as murder... if so... in your religion I would be going to hell...
I cannot accept what I do not believe, I have more common sense than to believe in something that has no proof.
To me, I am just going down in the dirt like everyone else.

I don't think followng the Bible is necessarily synonymous with being a good person. Cannot Buhddists, Jews, Moslems or Hindus be good people? Heck, even a Satanist or a Wiccan can be a good person. And certainly, there are many who claim to be "Christian" who are not necessarily "good people"...
Pat Roebrtson comes to mind, or Fred Phelps.. how are they good? they preach hate.

As surely as I have sinned, I have been forgiven by grace. I'm not a good person, but I try to be because I have the Lord Jesus Christ in me.

But remember- you have to continually ask for forgiveness. Even if you are saved you still have to lead a Christian life- In Rev. it says He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before my Father and his angels.
And in Exodus 32:33 says And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My Book.
Everyone of us sin. You just have to remember to ask God to forgive you of those sins.
