One sin is a violation of the entire law as scripture points out. One sin condemned the human race. It was only God atoning for Adam and Eve's transgression that saved them. What saved them? The mercy of God. The law condemned then.No. If it were, then NONE of us would be here.
Ezekiel 18:20-23
18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall DIE. The son shall not bear the inequity of the father, neither shall the father bear the inequity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My Statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall SURELY live, he shall NOT die.
18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he SHALL live.
18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord "I AM": [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Romans 6:22-23
6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting Life.
6:23 For the wages of sin [is] DEATH (Eze. 18:4); but the gift of God [is] eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The ONLY Way to remain free from sin is to repent (stop sinning) by returning to The Law (1 John 3:4). Doing anything less is proving a lack of faith in and love for Father (God) and His Christ (John 14:15, 21-24). And there is no other way to show one's appreciation and gratitude for the sacrifices that Father and Christ have made on our behalf other than to remember and return to keeping God's Law/Commandments (Mal. 4).
You NEED to turn from your wicked, sinful ways, and STOP LYING to others, or you will find yourself in The Fire on Judgment Day.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with Fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
There was nothing they could have done to save themselves as apart from God's grace they would have died in their sin. It was only God's mercy, because the law had already condemned them once they broke it.
One sin is enough to bring condemnation. The only reason the Israelites were able to remain in fellowship with God was, because they had a system in place to constantly blot out and atone for their innumerable sins. Think of how much bloodshed The Law required. All that blood demonstrates it was always God's mercy that provided them a way to be right with him. God through his mercy made a way for atonement. They would have remained in their sin if there was not bloodshed to cover their iniquities.
If you really study the scriptures you begin to understand that God through his mercy has always used atonement. It's always been through his mercy, because the law demands justice. Apart from God's mercy and intervention Adam and Eve would have died in their sin.
You refuse to accept that one sin is a violation of the entire law, because if you did your entire theology would crumble and you would be forced to acknowledge your guilt and how far you fall short everyday. Then you would also be forced to come to the conclusion that it's purely by God's mercy and grace that one can ever be right with him.
