We are all human here, so we should not be shy admitting we are sometimes cafeteria Christians: accepting this or that commandment from Jesus and ignoring or outright rejecting other ones
This BTW is one reason why we are told not to judge others: You just never know where that person is at... WHY the person did or failed to do.. whatever.
But we can presume that everyone is a sinner.
Yep, that's a no brainer.
Jesus said if we do not forgive, we will not be forgiven. That doesn't mean, as I once thought, that sin in others is to be made light of. But a lot of the saints, when encountering a difficult person, well, they didn't always do a good job... LOL. But they had that thing called self-examination / confession to help them obey Christ ("Do unto others what you would have them do unto you"---etc)
