Is that how God operates? Please explain. I was told that God forgives all sins if one truly repents.
The State and Courts may not care, which I accept. But a pastor should always ask for leniency for someone to whom sin has become repugnant.
Let's dive into an FR theological debate. Those are always fun!
Lets begin with that God MUST BE JUST.
There are and should be consequences for sin. In the case of Jesus, He paid the consequences. The consequences did not go away.
The idea that all you have to do is say you are sorry (worldly repentance) and you are free to go is worldly/liberal thinking.
I thank God for every consequence for my sin, else I would not have learned and understand what Jesus did.
You confuse love also. The ones that let me skip by, didn’t love me. The ones who held be accountable to tough standards, did love me. God disciplines the ones he loves.
Just because you are forgiven doesn’t meant there are no consequences to be paid.
