God says: "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:1010For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (James 2:10). And, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."

Hebrews 9:2828So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28).
