Now should this be in the front of the bible or in the back, as a final comment...did God speak of sins or did he speak of crimes,...every one sins in one form or another, but do they all go to jail?

According to Mosaic law, sins and crimes were considered one and the same. The problem is when man dares to speak for God and to administer 'justice' (which often is just another man's view).
