"Nevermind the fact that i just coveted thy neighbor, now im going to kill somebody, it's all the same." Seriously, that makes no sense.

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
A sin is a sin in the eyes of God's. If a person breaks any law - commits any sin - he is a sinner and need of salvation. If a person repents and commits his life to Christ, he is forgiven of any and all sins.
Romans 3:21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

If a sinner has not come to Christ and believed in Him as savior whose blood atones for sins, their sins will not be forgiven. It is a stink in God's nostrils. Sin cannot approach His presence. There's a list of sins in many places in the new testment which list gossip, fornication, murder, and sins of the flesh and says that they which commit such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. God will only accept for the bride of Christ a bride who has made herself ready and kept herself unspotted, without blemish from the world. The only way to do that is also without the blood of Christ. Sinner or Christian, you never stop needing the blood of Christ in this world. (From the Bible, rightly divided and Christians are not sinners any longer neither do they have license to sin.)
"....As I continued to walk, my disgust turned to laughter as someone wrote on the ground, "We don't want your accetance, just your tolerance." Yes, this bright young college student forgot to put the letter 'P' in the word "acceptance."
Of course, we saw all the other messages asking the general public to bow down and weep over the hardships that these poor homosexuals face in their everyday life. One would think that if their lives are truly a 'living hell' and it is a constant struggle day in and day out, then maybe God is not blessing them after all. If God truly blesses homosexuals, then why are their lives so terrible? Antoine Smith wrote last week that he is tired of people using the Bible to hurt people or draw division amongst them. I myself am tired of people changing what the Bible says whenever it suits them and calling it "interpretation." The Bible condemns homosexuality very blatantly in both the Old and New Testaments. It is God condemning homosexuals through Bible. It is God's judgment. His judgments are recorded in the Bible. It is up to us to live our lives based on his judgments, instructions, love and grace. It is not me doing the judging. It is God.
I also want to make it clear that I do not believe that all gay people are going to hell. Homosexuality is a sin like any other sin. Gossip, theft, lying, murder and adultery are all sins, as well. Every sin is equal in the eyes of the Lord and every sin is also forgivable.
The people that I am upset at are the punks who felt it was necessary to write vulgar and offensive messages on the ground for everyone to read; they are the true troublemakers on campus.

James 2:9-11 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery,"[a] also said, "Do not murder."[b] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

"Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law" (Gal. 3:10). Likewise, James reminds you that no breaking of God's commandments, however small from your perspective, is exempt from God's verdict "guilty": "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it" (2:10; see also Matt. 5:18-19). You are no better than Hitler I guess

Basicly, the Bible said - even if you have a dot of sin you cannot enter the presence of God.
All this points to your needing the blood of Christ to cover any sin you may have commited . No alternative.

I don't believe it does. But Almighty YHVH sent His son that we might be forgiven for our sins and cleansed from our unrighteousness. If we refuse that cleansing, we will get the one in the lake of fire, just before He makes all things new.

My understanding of it involves layering of sins. We all start at different layers and work our way down. Your long suffering journey depends on where you are along that road. Someone who is totally evil has so many layers, it is unlikely but possible for them to become cleansed.

It doesn't ....thank you for exposing the fallacy of that saying.
I think it is most often used by homosexuals to justify thier sin.

If you break one commandment, you have sinned.
