"Protestant theology" is Christianity

Sometimes.

Christianity says that if Christ has covered a man's sins

Christianity says Jesus died for the sins of the world. Both are objectionable.

Is this a difficult concept to understand?

Understand what? That Christianity turned OT meanings upside down and mixed Judaism with pagan religions? Not at all.

Is it Scriptural and true? Yes.

Depends what you call "scripture."

"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." -- Hebrews 8:12

Let's see, that a sandwich of Isaiah and Jeremiah, both of which are directed at Israel (the Jewish people). Don't you think the author of Hebrews is a bit disingenuous to suggest this was God speaking to and about Christians?!?

The redeemed still sin because we are still human. The old man is not completely dead. But by God's mercy alone, our sins have been forgiven by Christ on the cross.

Isn't that what I was saying all along? to wit: they sin but their sins count for naught! Or is it that the Evangelical crowd just loves to oppose me even when I echo their own claims?

That's fine and dandy, Dr. E., but the fact still remains that Protestants believe and teach that, since they continue to sin, no matter what sin they commit in their process of "sanctification", their salvation cannot be lost; ergo, their sins count for naught.

Kosta: but the fact still remains that Protestants Calvinists believe and teach that, since they continue to sin, no matter what sin they commit in their process of "sanctification", their salvation cannot be lost; ergo, their sins count for naught.

Do note Kosta, this is a purely Calvinist philosophy that they can keep sinning more and more to get more grace and that they are the Brahmin caste and can keep sinning as they are the elect-caste

Protestants believe the Bible. You’ve told us you do not. Therefore, there’s not a lot of common ground on which to discuss things. I believe Paul when he said that Christ will never leave us, and that He will see to completion the good work He has begun in all Christians.

You don’t believe that. All any Christian can do is to preach this Scripture to you and pray God gives you ears to hear it.

Condescending, right?

As God wills.
