Committing Sins Quotes & Sayings

What America is tasting now is something insignificant compared to what we have tasted for scores of years. Our nation (the Islamic world) has been tasting this humiliation and degradation for more than 80 years.

Do you think that shows very good intelligence? Bob: No. — A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Individual sins (committing a homosexual act, doing drugs, getting drunk, etc.) aren't what send you to hell. Your sins have been forgiven, but the sin that'll send you to hell is not accepting the payment for those sins. Everything revolves around how you respond to Jesus. — Andrew Wommack
