I was pointing out the fact she was singling out the sin of murder. Yet, even telling a single lie will earn you hell. But if God loves liars enough to save them, He also loves murderers enough to save them as well. His love is extended to all who will repent and call out to Jesus in faith for salvation.

Remember (especially if you believe posting what you believe is the truth in the word of God is a "good work")
If it doesn't stem from the love of God in your heart, you can just toss what ever it is on that big pile of insignificant and useless large pile of missing socks some where out there in the universe.

Sorry Bud, but by your own confession you sin daily and can do zero about it.
Have you not gone to counselling or resolution therapy about the abuse you are inflicting on others?
Or is your sin only internal to do with yourself?
I am confused, because if the above is not true, what sinful behaviour are you talking about as defined
in scripture? Or is it as someone laid out, not giving in to others requests for your time and involvement?
OCD behaviour does lock people in to behaviour patterns that are unhealthy but they are not sinful.
When you then take your issues and project them on to others that is not Godly or right, but actual lies
and slander without justification. If you became specific with individuals you could be sued for defamation
of character. So I wonder how serious you understand your concepts actually are.
Which of the ten commandments am I breaking daily, and how do you know?

Let me know when you make it a single day without committing a single sin in thought, word, or deed.
Telling them the truth that they will continue to sin until they leave this earth is abuse to you?
Should they face the truth or bury their heads in the sand and say "nyah, nyah, nyahhh"?
They're not my "issues" it's biblical truth. So, if anyone wants to sue me for saying they still sin - they can knock themselves out.
The Bible says if you say you are without sin you are deceiving yourself and the truth is not in you.
But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt with this question:
Do you still sin?

Are you thinking Budman is a universalist?
To me the whole worlds sins are forgiven.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
However the propriation for forgiveness is not granted to those who do not believe on Jesus.
Believers are not condemned and believers seek to be like Jesus.
This does not just mean sin management should be the main focus.
The main focus is the cross and what he accomplished for us.
Jesus said that he must go back to the Father so the Holy Spirit must come to convict the world of its sin.
And he said that sin is unbelief in him.
That does not give a license to sin, and we know Paul addressed that.

Maybe there are actually more than two groups here.
I was approximating.
And some definitely deny they could ever walk like Jesus or even aspire to it.
A simple test is can you be 24hrs without sinning. Those that say no, do not
believe Jesus transforms them into His likeness in this world.
A few days ago such a point was discussed.
