That's what I stated isn't it. Yes to your first question. The crimes are not against man they are against God and they are called sin and the judgement is for unrepented sin because there was no acceptance of the One who died so we could be forgiven.
It would seem that your arrogance is only exceeded by your capacity for delusion. Somehow, you have become the arbiter who decides who is saved and who is not.
Crimes against god? I'm sure you would have no problem explaining to the mother of a child who was raped by a priest that this was not a crime against the child, but a "sin" against god which is also forgiveable if the priest has the correct thoughts.
Your belief that one can accept something "in their heart" is patently absurd. Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood; it is not capable of thought. All of your delusions of salvation occur in your small brain.
It's obvious that you read a christians post and have predetermined what one has posted. Tell me something Sbad why is it that when one experiences a lost love that the pain is in the middle of ones chest, that is if you have human emotions of this type.
Yes the physical and psychological crime is aganist the child and all those who care about that child, the spiritual crime (sin) is aganist God. Sorry if I seemed to have left out the human victims I did not mean to.
Correct thoughts have nothing to do with forgiveness, repentance has everything to do with forgiveness. When a priest rapes a child be it boy or girl that priest is not a christian worthy of forgiveness because in my opinion the priest is not a christian, the priest never received Christ into his life.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
