Sin is sin you will punished the same whether you kill someone or lie. It is all the same in God's eyes.

as more to the condition.....

Mans sin nature is like the lion that will not eat hay. The lion may be hungry and the hay would help feed him. Yet the lion will lay down in the hay and die hungry. Its not that he does not have the power to eat it. It could do this with ease. Its not like the hay would not help him,....it would keep him from dieing.

Yet it is not in his nature to eat hay. The lion loves meat. Likewise...man loves sin...and will not give up sin. Its not in his nature to choose God...man will die in his sins.

Unless.......God calls
