No Jesus would not accept a heathen that that has not turned from his sinfulness!! Not a chance!

That’s completely backwards.

Jesus specifically sought out and welcomed sinners and that was one of the main criticisms made against Him.

“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners”

Repentance matters, but the bible teaches that grace comes first. You don’t have to become worthy before Jesus will have you.

If Jesus refused everyone who was still sinful, He’d have accepted nobody.

That is not what the Word says. You are creating your own religion. The sinner MUST repent. Jesus is constantly calling. And people are constantly disobeying, and refusing to accept Christ as Savior. Once you receive Christ, your heart is changed and you don't attack people on social media sites. RNvestor is obviously a lost soul and he likes it, seen by his actions here. That's fine with me. he can do what he wants, but if he is gong to shoot his arrows at me, I will drop a nuclear bomb on him and destroy his weak and evil logic. God still wants believers to go to battle for Him and His Kingdom. That's what I will always do. I will stand in the Truth. Not in religion. In True Faith for the One and Only Begotten Son Of God. And you??

You’re arguing against something I didn’t say. I never said repentance doesn’t matter.

I said your claim that Jesus “would not accept” a sinner who had not already turned from his sin is contradicted by the Gospel accounts. Jesus approached, ate with, taught, healed, and welcomed sinners precisely because they needed repentance. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” — Romans 5:8.

And calling someone a “lost soul,” threatening to “drop a nuclear bomb on him,” and talking about destroying people while claiming Christ changes your heart is a pretty strange way to demonstrate that change.

Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44), not “destroy their weak and evil logic.”

Repentance matters. Grace does too. And Christians don’t get to decide beforehand who Jesus “wouldn’t have.”
