And when that child turns his back on his father saying “I hate you and never want to see you again” (For this is what mortal sin is) a Loving Father will always invite the straying child to return but He will not force him to attend Christmas dinner and be miserable.
Mortal sin is the elevation of the love of self above the love of God, it is to quite simply say “not Thy will, but mine!” God does not force us to love Him. God gives us what we want, if we love Him, He gives us Himself for all eternity. If we turn toward ourselves He gives us exactly that, for all eternity. We were created to know, love and serve God and will never be happy without Him, but He’s not going to force us into being what we were created to be, no matter how many times we say Jesus is our personal Lord and Saviour.
Every sin is mortal, FRiend.
But that isn’t what’s being said, though. What’s being talked about is a child struggling to carry a heavy burden, loving their parent, agreeing with their parent, and wanting to carry the burden and not being able to. And God always wanted the child to realize he couldn’t and never would be able to, and will always need his Father to carry it. Evangelical churches also follow what Jesus said, that there are both wheat and tares, and sheep and wolves, in the church on earh. But as Jesus said, those who actually come to Him find that “He’s gentle and lowly at heart,” and “His yoke His easy and His burden is light.”
