If a thief repents but keeps stealing, is he repentant and forgiven? No. God forgives those who REPENT. And mean it.

Does God reject people who have yet to repent sin? No, he still loves us all. He is there, every moment, loving us and ready to forgive us.

If I reject my child and cast him out of my home, I lose all opportunity to show my great love and hope for him.

Does God coddle sinners or allow them to reap what they've sown? Does He allow consequences for sin?

No, he still loves us all. He is there, every moment, loving us and ready to forgive us.

You have to ask for forgiveness. If you're never told you sin, why would you ask for forgiveness?

If I reject my child and cast him out of my home, I lose all opportunity to show my great love and hope for him.

I never have said to cast a child from their home. BUT....do you allow their sin to take place in your home? Isn't that the same as approval?

There are consequences for sin and God, for all His love, does NOT shield us from those consequences.

I thought Christ said that he'd tell his father he never knew us (meaning those who sinned and repented not)???

If what you are saying is true, what was Jesus refering to when he said "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it."?
