this is a hard saying only because for much evil is required much doing! understand in this saying : Even Lucifer can understand should he wish to blame his wickedness on his only remaining eye even he can find hope to repent his sins. or should Lucifer wish to blame his only remaining functioning hand for the evil he commits cut it off and find hope for eternal life by first repenting, and likewise should he blame it on his evil walk as he stands up to commit evil he can cut it off and find hope so he may repent unto eternal life. Understand this the lord Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, it is for each and every one of us to accept or reject is gift of love. In the end the Question will be answered can a Leopard change its spots.
