You were blameless from your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.-Ezekiel 28:15
This is a philosopical question that may never be answered.
Is man inherently good or inherently evil?

Is salvation by faith or works?
Paul says faith. Peter says works.
It's a balance of both. Why can't it be both?

The concept of good and evil is very much human. This concept of good and evil which people established is awesome. I think it is right to say like a few have said here already, man is neither good or evil man is just man.
I have another philosophical question:
Is the concept of good and evil learned or was it born in you?

They go hand in hand. Preachers speak of this all the time.

Put it to the test: Will an atheist go to heaven if he does good works?
I by no means can judge anyone but I know it's good to know God.
But have you ever met a perfect person?
Even a righteous atheist sins right?

My point exactly.
So everyone is a sinner, so everyone needs forgiveness from the Most High,the Christ.

Well only if people belive in the concept of Sin - I don't believe in that or your Jesus person.
You believe you have done things "wrong" though right. THings not morally sound?

yes - still not a sin and those don't magic your jesus guy into existance.
That is the concept of sin and I never said it would "magic my jesus guy into existence".
Although historians agree in the existence of a Jesus Christ. Just a brief study of history could help you come to that conclusion.

Not what I said.

I think being a christian is morally wrong.
Why do you think that. "being" anything can't be morally wrong.
