This is what is called “cheap grace”.
I”m sure everyone does some kind of sin with the plan to ask for forgiveness later, yet I find it hard to believe that a man that lives like this is really outsmarting the almighty and is living under his grace.
Your thoughts Morgana?
Presuming that you can sin now and get absolution later . . . just adds another sin on top of the heap.
But it sounds like this guy may just be talking a line. I don't see him being a committed Christian - even the whacked out Episcopalians don't have this level of cognitive dysfunction. Probably a PK long since gone wrong . . .

Funny you should ask. Go to the link and take a look at the pictures of the man. Notice what color he is. Yea I’m thinking of a certain Margaret Sanger quote:
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
I could go on and on quoting Margaret but I think you get the picture. Their church has been tainted. This man is having his wife kill their baby and I tell you now their marriage will not survive this.
This is beyond “cheap grace”. How any church could allow a lie like this to come through the front door is just beyond me. Were these “colored ministers” not true men of God not to see what was really happening back then? I have to believe some of them did not fall for this, and that some of them were just like modern TV preachers and were “paid off”. I don’t know but I really wonder how this could have happened on such a large scale.
