But I don't think I'm right. I fully admit my sins and flaws like I said. I don't deserve salvation, God gave it to me because He's good and merciful. He does want everyone to be saved, but people won't accept the tremendous sacrifice He did for us.
Salvation in the church age is ONLY by faith:

Doing good works or not sinning or not sinning over a quota doesn't save you or keep you saved:

That said, grace is NOT an excuse to sin:

...nor does grace protect you from all the consequences of sinning (if you're saved, your soul is saved so you won't go to hell, but other stuff can happen with you if you sin. God chastises His children). Also, we saved people will go through the judgement seat of Christ:

And you need true repentance to get saved:

But repentance is not stop sinning forever (or else no would be saved), but rather metanoia, a change of mind. Recognizing and accepting what's sin, that sin is bad and that you're a sinner. Feeling bad for this fact. When you understand sin for what it is, you'll naturally put effort into stopping but it's very common to stumble and fail because the Holy Spirit doesn't do away with the flesh. Saved people are still in the flesh, it's a war between flesh and spirit as long as you're alive in your mortal body.

Okay the saved but not necessary beyond chastening by god for sinning part makes sense.
At the same time:
how can you love god and love god's creation but hate "agecucks" and feminists because as much as you disagree with their views aren't they still technically made by god and therefore hating them is hating god's creation?
You may say: I only hate the sin and not the sinner.
Okay but at what point does that distinction come in? If you speak ill of people hating on you like "agecucks" and feminists for long enough don't you think you will come to hate them as a person?
And don't you think that it will prime you to not be able to forgive them or even be in their presence even if they hold the same views about being pro women's rights but are now in your church and faith groups?
