The fatal flaw of the protestant heresies....license to excuse oneself from one's behavior.
It would take a severely demented individual to come up with that kind of theology...say someone like Luther.
Excuse me .. JESUS SAID, “IT IS FINISHED”
I was just quoting Jesus.
My understanding of the Bible is not “protestant heresies” .. my understanding is exactly what Paul taught us in the letters to the churches.
The desciples said it this way, “We believe, therefore we speak”. I speak that which I believe. If you don’t believe the same way .. that’s your priviledge .. but to condemn me for believing it .. that’s outrageous.
Even though God provided Jesus as our sacrifice, “... once, for all ...” - that doesn’t mean I believe it’s okay to continue on in your sinful ways, or to continue to commit sin when you know it’s wrong. And .. anybody who thinks I believe that .. does not know me and they are, therefore, “speaking falsely” against me.
