I find that we live in a world of Grays. However God is very black and white.
There is no gray.
We are all sinners (Romans 3:23) and There is only one way to heaven (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). That's it. Plain and simple.
In this world we put levels on wrongdoing. There is simple assault, assault, assault and battery. Then there are degrees; 1st degree, 2nd degree. But in God's economy all sins are equal and they are all punishable by death. No ifs, ands, or butts.
And we are ALL born into sin. Just like we can get certain diseases from our parents, we inherit sin. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Every human being has sin, no one is immune.
Therefore to God it doesn't matter if you have a little sin or a lot of sin (whatever that means) even a speck of sin is too much and can separate you from the fullness of a relationship with God. That is why Jesus came (John 3:16). God sent his son to die so that his perfect sinless blood could be shed and cover your sins so that you would no longer be separated from God.
The sins you do are NOT what send you to hell because we already inherited that death sentence. The decision to not accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is what seals your fate.

There are no levels to this and there are no other ways.
