not all sins are equal
if you are not saved, God will condemn you according to your sins; with varying levels of punishment.
if you are saved, you are passed from death unto life and you are pardoned completely.
Once you are saved, your works are rewarded accordingly.
And yet you "take the stance that [you are] no better than a murderer. We all have sinned."
What are my 'sins', exactly? See, if I'm to be condemned for them, I'd like to know the charge at least.
