>>>“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
And if we do sin? then what? No need in repenting cause you are already “under grace” and forgiven...ergo...no worries! Sin some more!
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” From 1 John 1.
You make a good point with regard to repentence.
I’m LCMS. We are taught “against” purgatory and similar, but we are also taught confession with sincere repentence.
How can you not get it but keep doubling down on that Catholic fabrication of how born again believers think?
