It's never too late for someone to reach out to God--but our "warm and fuzzy" world wants to equate God's forgiveness with the "forgitaboudit" attitude of "liberals" who think all they have to do is say--Oops, so sorry--to get out of facing the consequences of their actions.

Same kind of mentality that sprouted during Clinton/Lewinsky, when Clintoon defenders were trying to excuse his actions by saying "even King David sinned". Sure he did--and he was forgiven, immediately, by God--but NOBODY wanted to talk about the consequences King David faced as a result of his sin. Divine redemption is NOT a "get out of jail free" card!

Indeed. Jesus died to save us from the ETERNAL consequences of our sins. Earthly consequnces still must be faced, no matter how sincere your repentence.
