[wbarmy]

His (the thief’s) death on the cross was his penance. We may be forgiven our sins, but will still suffer the punishment, either in this life or the next. That is also, by the way, one of the better arguments in favor of capital punishment.

If you do not have some serious Bible verses to back that up, you need to stop saying that. There is no penance because there is no sin. It was taken away at the cross. There might be consequences of your sin, but not penance. Jesus paid the price, not us.

[ealgeone]

Amen, bro!
