me too, but if you think that Jesus gave mankind free reign to do whatever they pleased and still be worthy of heaven, I think that you are in for a rude surprise.

My word. You have GOT to stop believing the lies fed to you by the Catholic church and other Catholic in that area.

Show me ONE poster who holds to that line of thinking. Show me ONE verse in Scripture that supports it.

I can point to plenty of Scripture verses that teach exactly the opposite and plenty of FReepers who will do likewise. Not one of us looks at freedom in Christ as license to sin. Period. I've said it before and posted Scripture to that effect before and I'll do it again if need be for it to finally sink in.

However, that does not give us the authority to do as we please, ignore limits, act as savages. You are saying that Moslem terrorists need not worry because Christ died for all mankind and that they will not be held accountable. I don't think so. I would hate to think that Christianity is so mealy mouthed as to allow any and all behavior and still attain salvation...how about abortion doctors, are they OK because Jesus died for their horrendous sins...

Show me where I said or implied that or admit to bearing false witness. I'll wait for you to provide the link. Or admit that you were wrong.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized pinto Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Paul wrote that. Of course passages like this may be the reason Paul heartburn heartburn for many Papists. He destroys Roman Straw dummies.
