If this is what you truly believe, then where is the room for growth and change in a person? Just because a person has one belief today doesn't mean they will still believe it tomorrow, or that they believed it yesterday.

Certainly what you are now is a product of your past, but if all you see is the past, then what's the point of even considering the future?

The point is, if you were one thing once, but you're another now, should you be judged by what you were or what you are? Surely everyone has committed sins in their lives. Done things they're not proud of. Taken the wrong path or even made decisions which have been detrimental to themselves. Do we judge everyone we meet by what they've done before?

Maybe some people do, but I choose not to. So do many other people I know. I hate to refer to any religious scriptures, but even Jesus had something to say about sin and judgement.
