Bible Question (short): the way to Heaven through habitual sin? |
Question (full): I had a conversation with a gentleman in the local coffe shop last night. I spoke about him in the previous question. see; ("I am not the one sinning") As we were talking about Scripture, he told me that if a Christian continues in habitual sin, then the Lord will take him home rather than let him remain on earth in a life of sin. He said the individual will lose rewards and his works will be burnt up. So my question is two fold. Would you have agreed with this individual? If not, how would you have reasoned to him from God's word? Using the logic that this person used, I can see some actually desiring to continue in a life of sin, since the Lord may possibly take him home sooner. I can't see where this teaching produces the life that pleases our Lord. It seems to me that this teaching might be labeled "antinomianism" What do you think?
