I see. Well, if that was your point, then you're right. What was the argument about? (I missed a few pages)
basically this

Being a "saint" has nothing to do with "works".....

More importantly, how does the government recognize your law abiding citizen status?
By neither rewarding nor punishing me and treating me as a law-abiding citizen.

You're not condemned for the act per se, you are condemned because you are a sinner. Rape and murder are not sins they are attributes of sin. Sin is unbelief.
Quote:Jude 5
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
The Hebrew definition for sin is to "miss the mark"
Quote:Hebrews 11:6It is impossible to please God without faith, therefore unbelief causes you to "miss the mark."
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The bible states that the "Wages of sin (unbelief) is death". Death means separation.
So the payment for sin is to be eternally separated from God...
In your case, YOU claim not to believe in God, therefore you separate yourself from God and bring YOURSELF under condemnation. Can't blame that on God.
