Bible Note: BradK Thanks for the response. I am a new believer an I guess I am a little confused over what was written and what "Ocelot" said. He said, "David was referred to as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet he committed adultery and topped it off with murder. I’m not justifying those things, but I’m saying that God can forgive those sins. And He WILL, if you CONFESS them." So I hope you can see how I was confused. I was just saved a 2 weeks ago. I agree with you, and my pastor showed me in the bible just as you have said. So, my question is, and pardon me if this sounds really stupid, but I know my sins were forgiven by God through Christ's death on the cross, Colossians 1:14. Am I forgiveness of my sins only until we got saved, and then I have different rules to follow now that I am saved or do the same rules apply as when I got saved? I was told the rules are the same. I'm trying to read and understand as much as possible about this, but most people seem to contradict each other. I just want to believe what the bible says, and Pastor says to pray that God gives me understanding before I start to read it and I do pray this prayer. Is this other stuff that is being said in another part of the bible, I haven't read yet? I mean, I'm not perfect and I still have some addictions, but I was told and read in the bible that all this was forgiven once I accept Christ as my Savior. Am I reading and hearing this properly?
