Yes, that is the wonderful thing about grace. No matter what atrocious sins man my commit we all have the same sin nature. In Gods eyes there is no difference. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
and the children, are they simply collateral damage?
they get the same reward as their tormenter/murderer?
i guess Christ was just kidding then when he said
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
