He is a believer, and I assume he was convicted of his sin. However he also believes in the doctrine of eternal security so he really understands he does not have to worry about any eternal consequences of his mortal sins, other than loss of heavenly rewards according to the doctrine and I think espoused by some here. Now if he were a penitent Catholic the fear of God’s righteous judgment would compel him to seek a priest, confess his sin, submit himself for appropriate penance to make it as right as could be made after the lasting earthly damage to other hearts, minds, and souls. But he is not a Catholic, and he is a minister of the Gospel, with no earthly overseer. He knows he is a believer so he just does what he deems best. People fall in, out, and into love. Its like the flu, once its onset is felt there is vomit left for others to clean up, unless it is dealt with wisely.
You CAN'T know that.
Claiming you know that puts you in the position of God.

That's baloney.
That's projection.
Now if he were a penitent Catholic the fear of God’s righteous judgment would compel him to seek a priest, confess his sin, submit himself for appropriate penance to make it as right as could be made after the lasting earthly damage to other hearts, minds, and souls.
You mean like Ted Kennedy who led a life of immorality and deceit and made amends on his deathbed and got in anyway? How is that any different? The Catholic church allows for the exact same thing that you condemn OSAS over.
But he is not a Catholic, and he is a minister of the Gospel, with no earthly overseer.
But he DOES answer to God as the Holy Spirit is his overseer, as He is for all of us. I'd rather deal with an earthly overseer if I was in sin cause I'd at least be able to snow him. There's no getting away with anything with the Holy Spirit.
He knows THINKS he is a believer so he just does what he deems best.
He doesn't have any mortal sins...That has been proven thru scripture on this thread...There is only one mortal sin, not mortal sins...And that one mortal sin has nothing to do with a believer...

I'll assume you really know that there is no truth in that statement at all...
I've seen you enough on these threads to know you have seen post after post that non Catholic Christians rely on the truth of the scriptures and the leading of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our quest to please God...We have the words of God to guide us...We don't fall for a man made version of the scriptures that is proven by the scriptures to be wrong at every turn just as this mortal sins fiasco put out by your religion...
People fall in, out, and into love. Its like the flu, once its onset is felt there is vomit left for others to clean up, unless it is dealt with wisely.
While it may be a mess at times, it's already taken care of by God...We do not have to pay and pay and pay after we die...It's already been paid for...
