If the Law is done away with, nailed to the cross - can we murder, steal, lie and covet now that we claim Christ?

Yep...

Should we sin that Grace may abound?

Nope...

I find we are free from the penalty that God's Law Requires when we transgress it and repent through Christ.

That's just another way of agreeing with the question that was asked...

What escapes many people is that we all sin willfully every day...

Another thing that escapes people is that while we can break the law and not go to hell, we don't want to break the law...

You people seem to have the weird notion that if we can do those things that break the law and get away with it that we are chomping at the bit to get out there and lie, cheat and steal...

Perhaps that's what you would do if the Law wasn't restraining you??? It's not fear that keeps us from sinning, it's love...

That explains much.

I do not subscribe to the once-saved-always-saved no-matter-what- I-do doctrine.

I do not subscribe to a passive walk with Christ that automatically absolves me from my sins without repentance.
