Why is it so important for you to believe that Christ's petition was not answered?

Why is it so important for you to believe that Christ's petition was not answered?

Because the only alternative -- to disavow the rest of the Bible with respect to forgiveness of sins -- is unreasonable. No passage of Scripture stands alone. The proper way of interpreting Scripture is in the light of the rest of Scripture. So, if verse A seems to say something, but verses B, C, D, E, etc say something (apparently) to the contrary, the A must be understood in accord with the rest. You have not offered any response that accounts for all the other verses I mentioned (and I could mention many more).

Why is it so important for you to believe that -- based on one verse -- this sin was not charged to those who ultimately may not have repented and turned to Christ for forgiveness of all their sins?
