Q&A: can someone have saving faith yet commit murder? — Mike argues sin is not binary; Jesus elevated even hatred and lust to the level of murder and adultery

A viewer agrees with Mike's reading of James 2 but wonders whether murder is the dividing line — can someone have saving faith and still commit murder? Mike largely agrees but resists making murder the special threshold sin, because Jesus (Sermon on the Mount) equated hating one's brother with murder and lusting with adultery. The question of saving faith is about sanctification — is there transformation? — not about whether any single sin has been committed.
