“But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his OLD SINS. 2 Peter 1:9”

Just good, old-fashioned common sense should help you understand that the only sins that can be purged are old sins.

It's a shame that you have to be deceptive (not a good Christian attribute) by not posting BOTH texts. They are both talking about GRACE, and what it covers...Past sins/old sins...AS OPPOSED TO NEW/FUTURE SINS. These are clear statements by Paul and Peter. Could not be more clear.

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God. Romans 3:24-25

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his OLD SINS. 2 Peter 1:9

Shame on you Claire.
