The bible does teach God is not mocked whatever a man soeth that he shall also reap. In one way or another anyone who sins is paying a price for it. Bible also teaches if a person repents (turns from their sins) and and put faith in Jesus that they can be saved. Jesus used this example of a man hiring some people to do some work and later in the day hiring some more people then near the end of the day he hired yet more. At the end of the day he paid the people the same wage. Those who started first felt outraged. But the man who hired them said didn't I pay you what I promised? I can understand how they might have felt this treatment was unfair however it is also true was it not also the owners money to give to who he wished to? If we truly love our brother we will want to see him in heaven and will be glad that God has shown mercy. Truth is bible teaches none of us deserve mercy and all of us have fallen short of God glory. Bible teaches none of us are going to heaven because we deserve it. How could we possibly know if we had reached the point where our good deeds out weighed our bad deeds. What if God doesn't agree with our assessment of how good we think we are? Jesus taught though your sins be as red as scarlet I will cast them as far away as the east is from the west. He also said I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the father but by me.

If the "bad man" was a Christian, he wouldn't do the things you mentioned.
There is no one that is "good," but God. Sin is sin, whether small or great, little or many. One sin will get you eternal torment as that one sin must be paid in full, one way or the other. We can't earn forgiveness...that is the point. God isn't running a bank, where the "good" you think you do, makes up for the evil you do. Sin must be washed by the blood of the Lamb or it remains as does your separation from God.
If it is a "balance of good and evil" then all people will perish and not one person would go to paradise./heaven as there is not one good person. No person would be able to balance out the "evil" with the "good," without forgiveness.

Jesus said in Mark 1:15, "Repent and believe in the gospel." The bad guy you described didn't repent. The Bible also says in Romans 6:2, "How shall we who died to sin still live in it?" He is still living in it. And it says in Matthew 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits." A person who intellectually believes the truth but continually sins, should therefore question whether he is really saved at all. After all it says in James 2:19 "The demons also believe and shudder."
It is not enough to just intellectually ascent to the truth. You need a relationship with Jesus, the Son of God. He died on the cross for the sins of the world and on the third day rose from the dead victorious over sin and death so that all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. You have a decision to make. Will you accept Jesus as your saviour or not?

It is obvious you are a Muslim fan. Before you go mocking Jesus, you need to do further research. Once you are saved and a born again Christian, you cannot go out and do those things that you mentioned above and commit the same kinds of sins and be forgiven again. It is written in the Bible in Matthew 12:31-32
Jesus died for everyones sins so that we may all have everlasting life in Heaven. It is up to you if you want to keep listening to that mohammed guy and end up being judged by the law on judgement day. I prefer to be saved and have Jesus by my side and be judged by grace.

Hoor, Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death. Shortly before that (In Romans 3:23) we were told that all have sinned and come short of the goal (perfection) God has set for entry into heaven. The good news (and this is what gospel means..good news) is that the last part of Romans 6:23 tells us that the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ His Son.
This means that the only way I could pay for my own sin be they few or be they many, is to die...to be eternally sepertated from God forever. This is why we need to trust in Jesus. He became sin for us...so that we can be made righteous in GOD's sight..
Now this does not mean we can obtain salvation by trusting Jesus only to live like the devil. When we truly accept the price Jesus paid for our sin, we become a new person, old things pass away and all things become new. I have seen it countless times when we have seen people accept this payment. Many have came to me very angry at the world and at GOD and the very moment they accepted Jesus, their anger was totally gone. They were waging a war within them and almost everyone of them told me instantly that they were totally at peace within.
More important Hoor, I do not do good things to make brownie points with GOD...I do them because I really love my LORD with all my heart and I want to do the things that please HIM....Just like a husband or wife that loves their spouse will do the things that please their spouse.
Please read the link below to find out how to obtain this peace I talked about above...

First we were made as perfect human no sins in us .Only after Adam & eve's disobedience sin entered the world.ROm 5:12.That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.
But God's intention of creating human does not change ,he wishes everyone to have everlasting life in a peaceful world.For that purpose as perfect ransom had to be given since the ancient law states perfect human in return.Thus Rom 5:19 states 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(Adam) many were constituted sinners, likewise also through the obedience of the one [person] (Jesus)many will be constituted righteous

God did not send his son into the world to condemn it but to save it through him. Yes a person is forgiven for his/her sin by simple confession, but that is not a license to sin, no. The truth is, if a person accepts Christ, but goes out and does all the things that you said, then they never really accepted him in the first place and will spend eternity in hell. However if a person sincerely accepted him and committed a sin then he is forgiven, but will still face judgment. Christians will be judged even though they are forgiven.

You have a valid point, but in Christianity, it is considered to be incredibly bad to commit actions such as suicide bombings in the name of a religion and become a martyr. Christians who kill don't get an invitation to heaven, seven virgins and the like. Perhaps you would care to enlighten the world why Allah would condone such actions, that christian consider to be on a parallel to to the bad neighbour you describe.
By the way... I was christened a christian... but now I don not follow any religion.

If a Christian is doing those awful things that you outline, I uold be thinkning they would be crossing that don't trample of the Grace of what Jesus did, or will become void.
He is responsible and will be held accountable by the law of the land and of God.
Your sins are not blanketly forgiven you have to ask, and if God knows in your heart that you are planning more... I wouldn't want to know the consequences.

In the Old Testament Animals etc were used as sacrifices to God for forgiveness. Blood had to be spilt.
Jesus sacrificed himself for humankind so that God would forgive us and bless us with the gift of eternal life.
In order for us to benefit from this gift we have to repent and invite Jesus into your lives. Jesus is the sacrificial lamb that the Bible talks about. Jesus' Blood has been spilt for us so that whoever comes to Jesus, they will be forgiven and receive this gift.
