Sin is sin and God hates sin but He loves us. Sin deserves death. That is  
why Jesus died for our sins in our place - because we cannot do it  
correctly out of ourselves. When we are one with Jesus, we do His will.  
Jesus let the woman that was caught in idolatry free, yet with the words  
"Sin no more".

If we love sin we won't want Jesus. Heaven is open to everyone. Heaven  
belongs to Jesus and if you don't want to go to Jesus, you don't have to.
