Of course I’ve read that passage. I’ve also read Romans 6:23 and James 2:10. The wages of sin is indeed death, and Paul isn’t specific.
Sin keeps us from God, no matter what it is. Without Christ’s complete cleansing, we are doomed. I trust you know that.
Yes, I do....and that is why Jesus gave the SACRAMENT of CONFESSION to the APOSTLES...Peter and the other 10....”whatever you loose on earth will be Loosed in heaven”.....I know, I know, you would rather believe what was written in the 25th century than what was written in the FIRST century from Jesus’s words.....
Some here forget that it’s written clearly...’Our righteousness’ is as filthy rags before God....so when some believe one sin won’t matter, they should consider if our “righteousness” is as filthy rags...imagine what ONE SIN is before God.
