Really, sin isn't evil? Sin is what righteous, good, pleasing to God?
It is called inherited or imputed sin.
Paul went into great pains to explain this
This is why Christ had to die.
Not all people are evildoers

Can you name a few of these mythical people?
Could you also name a few sins that you do not regard as ‘evil deeds’?

.. the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; (1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV)
God does not see the whole world as evildoers. That doctrine is what the churches push into stupid peoples brains to get them to be submissive and weak.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerMorality is subjective. That's why I think murdering 6 million Jews is evil while getting angry with one's brother most likely isn't. And it was your subjectivity that caused you to claim for months and months that murdering 6 million Jews is equally as evil as getting angry with one's brother - before changing your mind. Completely subjective. Both of us. And everyone else too.
You would have to assume an absolute standard when comparing evil deeds in the first place if you wish to present anything other than your own subjective opinions on the issue. If there is no objective standard who is to say that getting angry with your brother is not equally as evil as murdering 6 million Jews? On what basis would they be wrong in saying ...[text shortened]... If you reject the Bible and what it says you are simply left with your own subjective opinions.

Unfortunately KellyJay has shown himself once again to be one of the most dishonest and disingenuous posters on this forum.
Matthew 7
23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
In Matthew 7:23 Jesus explicitly named "evildoers" as those to whom He will say He "never knew".
KJ believes that no one can cease to sin. If that were true, then in effect Jesus would be saying that He "never knew" anyone in Matthew 7:23 - which doesn't make any sense and KJ knows it. Rather than admit it, KJ has repeatedly side-stepped this fact in the most disingenuous manner possible in post after post.
Of course if KJ's belief is not true, then Jesus would be saying exactly what He actually said - which is that He will say, "I never knew you" to those who have not ceased to sin.
The rational thing would be for KJ to admit that he is wrong. Evidently that isn't about to happen. KJ lacks the integrity to do so.

If you didn't have poor reading comprehension skills and poor critical thinking skills you might be able to understand it. If you weren't so prideful, perhaps you'd be able to admit the truth about yourself. This seems to be an all too common affliction of "salvation by faith alone" Christians. They hate truth.

Are you sure!?
Why do you think that I was able to comprehend what rajk999 wrote and you weren't?

It's unfortunate that his pride keeps him from admitting to himself that he has poor reading comprehension skills, poor critical thinking skills and poor conceptual thinking skills.
If he were to admit that, he'd be able to get help with his deficiencies. As it stands, he seems to think that he's operating at the same level as everyone else if not higher. It's hubris.
