According to Christianity we are all condemned for our sin. Also I suspect now that KJV says "thou shall not kill" even though every other translation says "thou shall not murder" because there is a doctrine in Christianity that says even the least transgression of the law makes you guilty (if you so much as slightly lust after a woman in your thoughts you've committed adultery, if you so much as think ill of your neighbor you're a murderer, etc). There is also a doctrine that says that any guilt you have must be punished with eternal hell, so the man who was righteous all his life but he once coveted his neighbors cattle for a moment, is going to hell right alongside the dude who raped a kid to death and cannibalized the corpse, unless he receives a pardon from the savior, who as far as I can tell either gives his pardons arbitrarily (the elect) or if you're a free will type then by you asking for a pardon (so you can be a piece of shit all your life and ask at last moment for a pardon and get it). Also there is a doctrine in Christianity that you have to get right with Jesus while still alive because your fate is sealed at death.
Personally I'm thinking either these have to be false doctrines or the religion is ridiculous and here's why:
1. Lack of proportionality. Justice is not justice if the punishment exceeds the sin.
2. Job was righteous. There are men who never had the Bible and probably never asked for a pardon from a future or past savior but the Bible seems to indicate they could still be saved.
3. Maybe the point of the passages about your thoughts condemning you was just Jesus telling us metaphysical idealism is true and our thoughts are known by God and have an influence in the world.
4. Maybe Jesus is actually a righteous judge and does not give his pardons to people who ask for it unless he sees fit to do so according to his own good judgement.
