“and future sins”, for which I phrased “excuses all future behavior,”.
I don't see those as being equal. Not in the least. That Jesus died for future sins is not the same as have a an "excuse" for future behavior. My entire post was dedicated to showing we do NOT view Christ's death as an excuse for misbehavior, and I cited Paul in defense of the fact that this is a very old misconception.
So, yes, to me, that looks like you added something that goes beyond the intent of the OP. And as we are all the time having to deal with that faulty Catholic interpretation that we engage in easy believism, that is the context for my response.
But I am genuinely open to you setting me straight. Your comment, if it is not "additive," should not have used the charged word "excuse." But perhaps you only meant "forgiven?" Again, I am open to trying to understand you the best I can.
