I grew up like Jesus my mother a virgin,( meaning no father to help birth me), I was raised in the church, I studied the scriptures, I lived in communion with my people. Me and other children my age, But I don't live like that now, I smoke, I drink and I have had pre-marital sex, so does this mean that I'm not holy does this mean that still can't turn around my life, and become somthing great. Can I still save this world from Sin, Yes becasue God is a forgiving God,
Think About It Before You Answer please, The answer has to come from the heart and not the brain, Your answer needs to have some substance.

I hnestly believe that any man no matter what he has done has the opportunity to turn his life around. Every person on earth, in all of history and in the future has and will sin every day of their lives no matter whether they mean to or not, with the exception of Jesus himself. If you put your heart to turning your life around and seek it humbly, regardless of what you have done you will be forgiven.
Just as good acts won't buy you a place with God, bad ones won't deny your place, as all sin is equal, making all of us falling short of His glory, and it is by His grace alone that you are saved, not because you helped a certain amount of people, or because you go to church every Sunday or that you pray five tmes a day.
People come to me all of the time acting condescendingly (especially elders of particular church that I was once a part of) who made out as if they were better off than I am spiritually and yet have no mind for love, compassion or forgiveness. They may have their faith and spurt bible verse out of their ears and watch no television, but it makes them as much of a miserable sinner as I am, but as long as I have faith and seek His guidance, I am saved, and so are you.
I understand what you mean in reference to the virgin mother comment. As in having no paternal support as opposed to her being a literal virgin.
I grew up in a home with an alcoholic, drug taking father and a mentally ill mother. I was in and out of churches for most of my younger years but this by no means gave me any faith.

I grew up like my self. Jesus said don't copy me, be yourself.
Also, it is supposed to be the other way around, think from yourb rain, not your heart. Heart has no thinking ability, if you love someone, it comes from your brain. The heart is an automated organ that all it does is pump, does not think, does not have feelings.

I didn't go to church. I was too busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian. Good luck with the saving the world thing.

Just because your dad ran off, does not make your mom a virgin.

Your mother was not a virgin if you came out of her womb.
