[Dr. Eckleburg]

And as far as future sins being forgiven, I and all believers have been bought with a great price and our sins have been marked “paid in full.”.

Of course my future sins have been forgiven and this gracious fact compels me to want to sin less and less. The RCC has no understanding of sanctification.

Once justified, always justified. The RCC can think it can renege on its promises but Christ never does.

The RCC misses so much.

"Of course my future sins have been forgiven...."

Sin without consequence is not in the Bible. However, that arrogant and misguided belief certainly explains those who mistreat those with whom they disagree. I will continue to pray for a conversion of your heart.

"For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality." - Colossians 3:25

"Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know [h]what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, “ If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin. - James 4:11-17

Colossians 2:16-23 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 ( referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
