Don’t forget the Biblically Out of Context.
And Jesus said, “You are forgiven. Now GO AND SIN NO MORE.”
There’s no repentance. No realization what they are doing is actually sin, and no realization they need forgiveness, and no realization they can’t keep doing the sinful behavior.
You can’t be forgiven if you don’t think you’re doing something that needs forgiving. You won’t think or know to ask.
In every instance of Jesus forgiving the whore, the cheater, the adulterous woman about to be stoned, they all knew they were sinning, they all were repentant, they wanted forgiveness. These people revel in their sin, they think it’s god-pleasing, and we’re the haters.
Finally, woe to those who call evil good, and good, evil. that’s where we are on this issue today.
