But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Psalms 141:4-5.
Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies! Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
Proverbs 21:15
It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

see here’s the thing look in the gospel how Jesus dealt with sinners who didn’t pretend they weren’t sinners , and how he dealt with self righteous folk who proported themself righteous and better than the “sinners “ they looked down on
you find Jesus always embracing and sinners embracing Jesus following him becoming dedicated to him , and self righteous always have an issue with Jesus welcoming sinners as they are d then leading them out of sin healing them
“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Matthew 9:13 KJV
“Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?”

2 Timothy 2:25-26
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37 KJV
If we will go to the gospel and hear from the lords word we’ll find rhe truth that calls men to repentance but not by us hammering them but when they finds this relationship with Jesus
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:27-30 KJV
Paul is a good witness
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
1 Timothy 1:15-17 KJV
Jesus wants every one to break and come to him and he will teach us by faith as we hear his word he leads us to change his word works in us to change our sinful Will and sinful actions
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
Philippians 2:13 KJV
When we hear Jesus teachings brother it’s doing this
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Yes and no. There are those who continue in lifestyles of sin not recognizing their sin nor need of repentance. These would fall in the group you describe.
There are also those who still sin, recognize their sin and repent. These are probably saved but haven't attained an increased purity and holiness but are ever being changed by God in that direction.

I just go by what the Bible says. I guess you're still not getting it after what is being shown to you. Don't worry, it's okay. A lot of people don't really understand the Bible at first or ever. What's important is you just keep an open mind, an open heart, and don't be afraid to just stay Biblical when the temptation is strong to just go with the crowd. I'm here if you ever want to have an honest study.
