Subject: What would prompt these tears? |
Bible Note: "Searcher - so what of those sins that we neglected to ask forgiveness for?" "Contrary to what you are proposing ( and I think I do understand), the biblical teaching is that Christ has paid the complete penalty for our sin. If we must do anything further, i.e. repent, then I do not see that His payment was sufficient! Note Hebrews 10:12, 18:" Hi, Hank! These are the posts from Mommapbs which I have responded to today. ""The sacrifice of Christ on the cross was wholly sufficient for my sins as well as those of the world. If I have to do anything to further merit His forgiveness, then Christ must go back to the cross of necessity- something that is impossible!" Hi, mommapbs! So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that those in Christ could commit murder or any other transgression and not need to repent because Christ died so that they could be free to do as they please?" This is my final post to Mommapopbs... I do not see how Christ dying for my sins gives me a license to continue to sin with impunity. My comments were clear. My query sincere. How have I offended you and Mommapbs? Now if you are saying that I should not question any of the posts presented on this forum, then I am beginning to understand your post. "unwholesome innuendo" unwholesome--detrimental to physical, mental or moral well-being innuendo--an oblique allusion There was no assault made on Mommapbs--if that is what you are reading. Perhaps instead of murder I should have used a milder simile. Since I believe that my query was pertinent to the thread's discussion, I ask you the same thing (using a different allegory): Can a Christian sin with impunity? Say a person comes to your congregation and 20 years later after serving the Lord faithfully he/she has access to the petty cash account and, without seeking his/her superior's/elder's authorization, withdraws x amount of money for personal use. The money is never reported stolen(so there's no accountability to man)... this person never replaces the money that he/she stole, and he/she eventually dies. Would there be nothing for God to do but accept that that person sinned and relished on the fact that he/she had impunity? God Bless! Angel |
