*applause* to you ! My time is filled keeping myself in line. I don't know where those other people find the time to bother, unless they are truly without sin. Hmmm...I don't think so.

To convince themselves that they are better than others, that they have not done anything wrong really because "look at what this person is doing they are so much worse than me". It is so much easier to criticize others rather than improving oneself and most people take the easy road. In the end their lives are the poorer for it.

I worry about other people's sinful nature,
not their sins, because they will have no opportunity to spend eternity with God in Heaven.
My sinful nature Has been replaced by one more acceptable to God through the death and ressurection of my Lord, Jesus Christ, better known as being "born again".
I, like God, wish that none should perish but have everlasting life with God.

that is an age old question that goes all the way back to Genesis and the fall of Adam and Eve.
When God asked Eve what she had done, she replied that the serpent had deceived her.
When god asked Adam what he had done, he replied that the woman that God gave him, made him do it.
Blame of others right from the start. it continues to this day that we look to others wrong doings and ignore facing our own.

There's an old saying about this.
"Man was born with two bags tied to him. One small one in the front, filled with his neighbor's faults, and one large one in the back, filled with his own."
People more readily see and worry about other people's faults, because they can't or aren't willing to worry about their own.

i learned this thing from my sanskrit teacher
one can only look and the mistakes of others but never at the mistake of his own
and its so much true
therfore jesus says "how can u tell ur neighbor that there is a speck in his eye when there is a plank in ur own eye"

I bet its because they are trying to transfer the guilt of something they have done wrong onto somebody else.

Because my sins were totally paid for. The debt that I need to pay for the filth, and stink, and garbage of my sin was transferred FROM me (judicially, not experiencially) and thrown onto Christ during his crucifixion. The debt that I owe and would normally be working my brains out unto God to pay off for the stupid stuff I do on a daily....no, hourly basis as a sinner, God took that sin debt and placed it onto Jesus Christ.
Christ died FOR your sins by shedding God's perfect blood as a sacrifice, a substitute for me and for you and for ALL. He willingly laid down his life and allowed himself to be crucified to a cross. Christ was numbered in with the transgressing theives as they were hung (crucified) on their crosses, and he on his.
Believe in his shed blood as a once and final payment for your sin debt unto God, and put NO trust nor faith in...
...your "good deeds", best efforts, occultic practices, deep thoughts, pastor's teachings nor preists' homily's, religion(s) or religious dogma, world or personal circumstances, communion wafers, water baptism, philosophy, lifestyle, education, evolution, your senses, church attendance, karma, religious attitudes, feelings, family traditions, supposed "holy or religious saving" laws or ordinances, self serving prayers, society, other people's opinions,etc.
Christ alone went in your place as your substitute to pay for the sins you've already done, the one's you're currently doing, and all that you'll do in the future. The only way to be made perfect is to be in Christ.
It's nothing experienced nor felt, but known by reading what the scriptures say in the bible, the word of God.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved! (Acts 16:31) God will judge you to be whole and sinless in his eyes, imputing Christ's righteousness unto you; Christ's faith unto you; and you in Christ.
