The world, unfortunately, is not that simple.

What happens to the sins committed every day after OSAS procedures?

They, too are forgiven. Don't take my word for it. Paul talks about it quite clearly!

Romans 7: 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. ...

...14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!...

Romans 8: ... 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

“The world, unfortunately, is not that simple.”

The “world” is not simple at all, but faith is. So simple a small child can understand it.

“What happens to the sins committed every day after OSAS procedures?”

They are covered by the blood of Jesus. It is impossible not to sin even as a born-again believer because we are still living in a fallen state. Others have pointed this out, but Paul is a perfect example of this.

We don’t want to sin and we long for the day we will be with Jesus in heaven finally in a sinless state. There will always be sin as long as fallen man is on the planet. Only after the millennial reign of Christ is over and all unbelievers and Satan and demons have been sent to the lake of fire and we enter into eternity will there be no more sin.

More and more as I read what Catholics write here, I am convinced they are not born again of the Spirit and hence have no assurance of salvation. That is a frightening position to be in and one that can be changed. There is no need to live in doubt and fear. But I daresay it will take setting aside the Catholic mindset and wanting Jesus alone to accomplish it. Seek Him first and everything else will be added to you.

God bless,
