Punishment for sin here on earth? Sure there is. What about David and Bathsheba? David sinned, big time, and his family was forever plagued by violence and strife, as a direct result.

2 Samuel 12 - 7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

Let me ask you: Does walking thru a door relieve you of the consequences of sin here on earth? Please post a scripture to defend your point.

I was speaking of eternal punishment, not earthly consequences. But either way, walking thru the "Holy Door" does absolutely nothing, except make a mockery of the faith.
