The Crucifix is tolerence and forgiveness for every insult in the history of humanity. That tolerance does not extend to continued sin.

First of all; Tolerance has nothing to do with the forgiveness of sin.

The propitiation for the sins of mankind Christ PAID in FULL. God accepts that payment on behalf of all those who believe in Christ. There is no "tolerance" of sin involved.

Secondly; Your claim that Christ's mercy "does not extend to continued sin" is absolutely unscriptural.

It suggests that Christians must become sinless from the moment they profess faith in Christ until the day they die, or Christ will take back his salvation and they will go to Hell.

How awful. And how totally unscriptural.

The New Testament is full of admonitions directed to the Church regarding sin...making it clear that Christians can and do commit sins.

You completely miss the idea of repentence.

And the very nasty crack about ~Your Holiness~ was uncalled for by you when I have not insulted you, nor would I. You can argue with the others. I have no need to stay exposed to your insults.

I am a worm in this universe. And for me, the universe was made. As it was for this woman and her child, and everyone else.
