Many sinners have the belief that because they have sinned, they are doomed, and will certainly end up in a hell because of what they have done.

Many who think like this then go all the way and evil becomes a normal part of their everyday.
They believe they will be judged by an angry god who will never forgive them for what they have done. They then do all they can to enlarge their evilness, not caring anymore for the outcome of their actions, and care even less for their victims.

The truth is that we have all sinned, a bad thought is a sin, a bad thought directed at a certain person is a curse. Anyone who has not sinned stand up and say it out loud, no-one! not one! Well! At least we are being honest.
Can a sinner judge another sinner? This you can figure out for yourselves, but remember, God is watching and knows everything about you, every idle thought that has ever crossed your mind.
So what can be done?

Sinning is foremost to do with ignorance, ignorance of the truth, false beliefs will only last for a while and the damage they do will eventually be revealed to that person.
Even the most hardened sinners may be redeemed if they so will it.
God is all loving, all forgiving and will always be there for his children, if they will only turn to Him in soulful prayer.

Another form of separation from God is, the person who prayed to God and as far as they could see God did not answer them, or maybe it was that God did not answer in the manner they had anticipated and wished for.
God knows what is best for us, and sometimes what we think is best for us is detrimental to our own soul progress. It is the soul which is the important thing and the soul’s condition makes us who we are.
Avoiding the truth by creating our beliefs, the way we want them to be, will only prevent God's beneficial laws that He has deemed fit for us from working on our behalf.

I am writing this because in my travels, I have met people who have this idea that they are a lost cause when it comes to doing God’s will, or even shudder at the thought of approaching God, for them, God is for the priests and clergymen and not for sinners, but how wrong they are.
God loves all of His children and that means every single one of them, no matter what they have done. God waits patiently for their call and will not force Himself onto anyone; this is the great reason for our free will which God has bestowed upon us.

Do we want to be redeemed or not, the decision is ours.
