    In the end. We are only answerable to God. The God we believe in, and have faith in.

    Nobody, but Nobody else here, or anywhere in our lives can make any claims as to WHAT GOD FEELS.

    We answer to HIM, and Only HIM. End of story.
    That's what I just said. I just said it differently. I don't speak for God. I would never presume to. HE says we are all sinners. His words, not mine.

    At the same time I will quote "render unto Caesar what is his". I judge people in THIS life according to their actions, not mine. I judge myself by my actions.

    God will judge me later.

You take pity on me, the piece of whale vomit, and though I don't deserve ANY KINDNESS WHATSOEVER, you still haven't destroyed the world! You're my King and all that - But I am not worthy to even speak your name, Jesus. God. Jeweh. But you are SO KIND and LOVING! Even though I deserve perpetual death and destruction for all-eternity, you showed pity on me!!"
    I don't get that impression. But to your question:
